Action Sammy’s Dating Tips: If Your Partner Doesn’t Like Sex

As I’ve said in many previous articles, for most people, sex is one of the most important things in a relationship. For some, it’s the absolutely most important thing. Without sex, what is the purpose of a relationship? Love? That’s what parents, siblings and friends are for, some will argue. Affection? Same thing. Trust? Same thing. Companionship? You can always get a cat or dog. Somebody to sleep with? Again, you can sleep with a cat or dog.

Some might answer that they want a relationship only for romance. However, sex is a very important part of romance, most will argue. Most people can’t imagine hand-holding and French kissing without at least occasional sex. Then again, don’t many people hold hands with their parents? It may not produce quite the same effect as holding hands with a romantic partner but many people do hold hands with their parents. And don’t worry – I’m not going to say you can French kiss a parent! But, again, some people French kiss their pets – which I find certifiably disgusting but this isn’t about bestiality.

So, now the question again – what if your partner doesn’t want sex? What if your partner wants to take out that special thing that bonds a man and woman and separates the love you feel for a spouse or partner from the love you feel for a parent? Is okay to walk out? Not so fast.

Now, since almost everyone, even those with only a very moderate sex drive, will agree that sex is very important in a relationship, hardly no one will dislike sex without a good reason. And there could be several reasons why a person doesn’t like sex. Previous sexual trauma such as rape, for instance, almost always leads to a loss of interest in sex. People who grew up in fanatically religious households usually view sex with disgust. Interest in sex also tends to decrease as some people get older. People who feel uncomfortable with their bodies can also have a very low interest in sex.

The decision on how to deal with a partner who doesn’t like sex is yours, of course. No one can stop you from leaving a partner who never wants to have sex. Or you could stick around to find out why.
