Can you love someone without wanting to sleep with them?

Question

If the urge isn't there, does that mean it's not 'true love'? :-)

Answer 1

Well, yeah, you can love a friend or a sibling or parent or something and not want to sleep with them. But romantically? I don't think so.

Answer 2

Of course you can!

Answer 3

You love your mama don't you?

Answer 4

..of course you can, teen-age girls do that all the time..

Answer 5

There are four different types of love: Agape, Philio, Eros, and Storge.  Agape is spiritual:  it is unconditional, selfless, and nonsexual.  It is the kind of love that someone would die to defend a stranger.  Philio is mental: it is about friendship, brotherly love.  Eros is physical, passionate, romantic, and sexual.  It is lust or infatuation.  Storge is emotional.  It is the love you feel for your child, sibling, parent, spouse, or other member of your  family.  All are "true love", just different aspects of it.

Answer 6

Sexual desire is a integral part of a romantic relationship.  I cant imagine loving someone  romantically, and not wanting to have s*x with him. True love is the desire to meet their needs, sexual or otherwise.

Answer 7

You can, but I don't know how romantic the relationship overall would be without s*x.

Answer 8

yes you can you love your mom and dad and you dont want to sleep with them and your sisters or brother my he not the one for you but you have a good relation ship that yall are better off as close friend than lovers it happens

Answer 9

of course, just look at my wife, I mean she says she loves me, but she doesn't sleep with....wait a minute, are you trying to pry into my personal life??

Answer 10

I think it's possible, but I also think that it's rare.  Most people that are in love with another person would definitely be ready to sleep with them.

Answer 11

True love is being a loyal wife , understanding of him and supportive of him . All that kissing and going to bed stuff is all lust .

Yeah you can love him and by showing it you do what I mentioned above.
