Even paraplegics can have sex/be sexual. What are you taking about here? What could possibly cause this? Would I leave my wife of 10 years? No, but I'm polyamorous and could easily get sex elsewhere.Oneirius said:

I am as well. I have gone my entire life without it(Short as that may be), and I don't feel like I have missed much. Besides, sex isn't everything.DkLnBr said:
As far as I can tell, most family members are biological, whether genetically descended from you or not. Since about 1 in 5 kids turns out to be another father's child without their knowledge, I'd recommend you just love whatever children enter your life, by whatever legal means, and not look too closely into their origins.
Besides, within 20 years, I figure we'll be doing "gene swapping" and "gene tweaking" regularly with eachother by purposeful viral-agent-assistance and such, and genetic legacy will have alternatives besides sexual procreation. We'll be more interested in having the "latest fad genes" rather than carrying about with mom and dad's hand-me-downs and sub-optimal perfoming genes.

The funny thing is that my gf and I were talking about this the other day. I'd still stay with her even if we couldn't have sex. Sure, it's an important part, but it's not everything. I'd stay committed. It was my initial attraction to her personality (we met online) that made me interested in her, not her physical traits. It just so happens that she meets pretty much all of my preferences in a woman. Kind of funny how that worked out. XD
At any rate, I'd stay with her until we grew old and died. I'm a firm believer in the whole "'til death do us part." thing unless there are other issues in the marriage. I wouldn't cheat or anything. We'd simply to the best we could with what we have available.

I guess that depends - the opposite happened with my marriage. Honeymoon aside, my first year of marriage, my spouse and I had sex two, maybe three nights a week.bdcjacko said:
Now? We don't have sex one or two nights a week.
Wait, I'm not sure that made sense. Let me rephrase. We have sex almost every night - the one or two nights we don't have sex are the exception, not the rule.
And we're not talking quickies either. We were at it for an hour and a half last night. ^^ Of course, last night was particularly awesome. Normally it's around an hour.
Of course, I realize I have a wonderful sex life, and that my results aren't necessarily typical.
Sex is nice, but it's not a critical component for relationship. I myself would sacrifice it and much more if I could find another intelligent being to live with, which I wouldn't hate forever after 5 minutes of marriage (seriously people, you suck!).
I wanna say me and my partner have sexual fun without penetration... but we do think about it enough to know that after we were married we couldn't have sex, it probably wouldn't work out very well.... I'm pretty sure I can say this for both of us. However, that being said, we both also know that there probably isn't anyone out there who could satisfy our appetites since we sampled so much of each other... so I guess in that case it's a lose lose situation. We'd still be best of friends though, if that is why we broke up, since we both know that we totally need our sex 
Very true. And if, as the OP states, that this person is incredibly beautiful and I'm attracted to her, then I don't think I could go my entire life without sex with that person/another person. Palmela Anderson helps when you're desperate but it's just not the same.Crusnik said:
And about all of the asexuals that are apparently crawling all over this website, I wonder how many of them have actually had sax before deciding it wasn't for them.
