Would you leave your partner if they didn't want intercourse?

Glad we agree. Also you shouldn't have sex with someone you don't trust.

Thanks. I'm actually too old for the hpv vaccine I'm inexperienced with sex even though I'm way too old for the vaccine ha. I was looking up ways to get it without having to pay as I can't afford it but they don't give it to people my age as it's not recommended for some reason. I've not had intercourse but still because I'm out of the age range I won't be able to get it. I'm not struggling to insert tampons but it does hurt as they go in (it's fine once in) and I'm sure nothing larger than them will fit in : / I'm not keen on the idea of intercourse mainly because of sti's as I said plus I doubt it would do anything for me it would just be for the guys benefit. I would be more willing to try if I knew he had no sti's but it's not really the norm to ask people to get tested it can offend people.

Thanks. Yes its normal to question about sti's but I don't think it's that usual to tell someone to get tested before sex (correct me if I'm wrong). How come I sound vulnerable, if I was vulnerable I probably would have been persuaded into having sex/relationships in my teens like a lot of girls are but I've gone against social norms and refrained from it for years (somehow lol) and now I'm just worrying about getting sti's from a male with a very sexually active history.

I should bring it up with him and will certainly require him to use protection I wouldn't have sex otherwise.

Bad logic mate. That's like me saying I don't only buy a car for it's brakes...

You make it sound as if sex is NEEDED for a relationship - well technically yes if you want to have children but otherwise it's just another way to pleasure each other. Obviously I would have the desire to have sex with them lol but if they weren't able to then I wouldn't leave them because of that... (if I genuinely liked them)

It depends on the situation of course, but I think practically and realistically, I would leave the guy.
As most people have said, if it were a medical condition or something, obviously I would try and help the guy get past it or whatever, but if it was just no sex for no reason, I probably wouldn't stay with him.

As well as that, I think that if I was in a relationship with a guy long enough to fall in love with him and all that mushy stuff, I would hope that he would have had the decency to tell me that he never wanted sex, probably earlier in the relationship when the topic first came up, and then I could make a decision then on whether I wanted to stay with him, knowing all the facts. Otherwise I might just end up feeling like he tricked me somehow, as sex is a big part of most relationships.

And this might just be me, but I think that sex is quite an important part for a healthy relationship (well, any relationship I would be in) as it's not just a physical act (although you know, that too ), but I think there is a sense of intimacy and closeness that comes with sex, which I would miss.

If they NEVER wanted sex? Yes I would probably leave them.
