I have a slight problem when people say stuff like this.
Yes, I agree that sex shouldn’t at all be the most important thing in a relationship. And at some point many people aren’t able to have sex anymore. And sure, some people aren’t able to have sex to begin with.
But for most people on the planet, sex is a huge (although obviously usually not the only) component of a relationship and a basic need. So when you can’t have sex, it very severely and significantly limits your dating pool. Pretending it doesn’t is very unhelpful and just not realistic…at least not in the modern, Western world.
And I think the only reason people are so sex obsessed is because they’re from a sexually repressed society.
So we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one.
Edit: It’s a bit like saying to a gay person “but your dating pool will be more limited if you only choose to fuck the same gender.” Maybe… That’s beside the point.
