As you said, you're a virgin. Sex is a huge part of relationships. Indeed, romantic relationships are defined by them being between romantic (mutually sexually compatible) people.
Sex hardly matters to me, it's just a physical phenomena that's temporary enjoyable because it brings pleasure. Forming an intimate relationship(with or without sex) matters significantly more.
how would a romantic relationship defer from friendship then? physically desiring a person(in addition to emotional/cerebral closure/harmony) is what sets it apart
Why is that so? I can understand attraction playing a role in making an emotional bond form but I hardly see why sex has to be huge part of it.

The virgin thing was meant to explain that I cannot be certain what sexual acts I am unwilling to do. I don't see it as a valid argument to counteract my stance that sex isn't a key influence on forming a romantic relationship for me.

hmm is this another thread-split in the making?
I'm not trying to change your mind about the subject, really. It's possible that you're simply less sexual than most people. In that case, sex would naturally play a smaller role in your life than it does for others. It's possible you're asexual, it's possible that you'll become a sexual vampire. You being a virgin means you can't really know which way you'll go, since you haven't had it. that's pretty much all I meant by that comment.
I've always wondered about that. I've seen relationships without friendship and it blows me away. Having a romantic relationship without solid friendship seems akin to having religion without being spiritual. There's nothing satisfying about that. If you're going to skip something, you'd be better off skipping the formality and enjoy the essence of things.A romantic relationship is a friendship.
No, of course not. Your sexuality is pretty obvious in my experience, granting I'm about as straight as can be. No, the nuances of sexuality are what I'm discussing when I say that one must have sex before they know exactly what they want. Styles, techniques, kinks... I can think of only one kink I was aware I had before I ever even had sex, and I have quite the collection of them, now. It's kind of like how a layperson might know how swords are made, or they might understand how electricity works, or they know that food needs to be cooked, but you can't make a decent sword, install circuitry into a house, or work as a chef in a four star restaurant until you've had extensive training and experience. Sex is the same. You can understand the basics of how it works, but you don't understand it's nuances, or the specifics of your tastes, without experience.
I won't accept any fetishism in a relationship. Fetish fixations are symptomatic of a mental illness.
I'd probably need to find a person with a similarly low sex drive to have a stable relationship of that nature with them.
Yes, I have a subjective definition, I don't necessarily feel repulsion to things mentally ill, I view many of the kinks as associated with personalities I wouldn't get along with, on the basis of their more overall erratic behaviour.What exactly do you define as fetishism?
Light bondage? Role-play? Anything and everything that isn't strictly procreational vaginal sex?
Is there a difference between a fetish "fixation" and a casual kink, in your opinion?
Yes, I have a subjective definition, I don't necessarily feel repulsion to things mentally ill, I view many of the kinks as associated with personalities I wouldn't get along with, on the basis of their more overall erratic behaviour.
I agree that selecting the few people one desires to become intimate with, there exists a capacity to accomodate their quirks and oddities, assuming there is an overwhelming amount of desireable elements. The general case is useful for filtering out the more hopeless and safety guidelines.Well, perhaps there is correlation between "heavier fetishing" and erratic behavior. Though, general trends is not important when you are only choosing one individual.
What is the one sex thing you could not have a serious relationship without, and the one you would never do?
I have to have sexual attraction to the guy, I have to want to rip his clothes off when I see him. I don't have hang ups about sex, if I'm comfortable with my mate I'm down for CERTAIN THINGS, there are limits.
I couldn't be with a person I didn't want. He has to stimulate me mentality first then I can be aroused. If a man can't do that I don't want him.

Pretty vanilla. I'm not counting ordinary sex because 95% of the time it's a given?
I will break up with someone if they don't perform oral sex (regularly and enthusiastically) but I won't put much pressure on them to do it. If that seems unfair, well, all is fair. To me it's unfair to pressure someone to do it. If they want to, they will. I for one will regularly and enthusiastically perform oral sex on a partner and as such, reciprocity is expected at least some of the time.
69 is not a requirement but it's disappointing if a partner is reluctant to engage in this position. Same with deephtroating. Nevertheless, I don't push the issue I just swallow it. Actually, swallowing is another one that fits in this category.
I would consider an open relationship but would withhold or at least inhibit my emotional commitment and probably wind up leaving it behind within a few short weeks. As such, polyamory would probably not work for me. At one time I thought it would, but no. I'm monogamous. With this in mind, the absolute no for me is any cuckold situation. A FMF threesome is acceptable provided all three participants enjoy themselves, and it's something I've been eager to try but never had the opportunity.
I have had anal sex and maintain that women tend to prefer it once exposed. The orgasms are more intense and easier to achieve, provided there is (adequate lubrication) and clitoral stimulation to accompany it.![]()
i suspect that girls would accept more easily another girl for a threesome, dunno why...
Anyone not feel comfortable making a lot of noise or talking during sex? I am okay with the other person making noise or loudly vocalizing, just not me.
