Could you ever be in a relationship with a man who was physically unable to have sex?

Like in a long term committed relationship with a man physically unable to have sex.

Not me, because sex is an important way for me to emotionally connect with my partner. But there are people out there who can live happily without sex.

Well I don't think I would be happy without at least some kind of sexual interaction with my partner. But normal sex is not possible.

liminal, I'm confused, who has the physical limitations, you or him?

I got the impression from the post linked above that you had the physical limitation, not him.

I'm just trying to get on the same page with everyone here before I can make any more comments.

thanks,

thanks, see my post in your other thread. I still think it applies to both of your questions.

If I loved him deeply and truly believed he was my soul mate then yes. I believe there are many many others ways to show love and emotion than having sexual intercourse. Also, there are others ways to get sexual pleasure than actually "physically" having sex. Could you provide more information? Are you willing to do more, but just is not able to?

I can become aroused and I can even become erect. (i'm a male btw, lol) But I can't really get that much pleasure from it and I don't feel my orgasms.

Sex would not be fun for me.

I would prefer to do other things such as cuddling or making love in a non-penetrative way.
