platonic love

Ive heard a lot of people on this forum say that they find relationships boring without having sex involved, even others saying that they believe that that is the whole point of a relationship in the first place. I would like to know your stance on platonic love and if the affection and care for each other in a relationship actually means anything, and is not just a means to sex.

From personal experience I find sex enjoyable, but all the time spent together and the love and affection mean a whole lot more to me, I could just as easily love my fiore the same without and of my "parts"(BTW, for reference, I am male).

Without sex, a relationship is nothing more than two room-mates.

Then that would make all of the couples who havn't had sex yet just really good friends. Now, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but from what I understand, you belevie that the entire point of a relationship is to get to the end means of sex?

Well that is true. The whole point of pair-bonding (ie a relationship) is reproduction, and that requires sex. Even if you're waiting to get married, the end goal is the same.
 
One way to put it -- there's a lot of warm tension involved when two people who are attracted to each other associate closely without physical consumation. Some people just happen to like that tension a lot (others find it annoying), and if they BOTH want to keep that tension going for their mutual pleasure, more power to them :)
 
Even if they don't live together?

Then they are even less than room-mates.

That's not the only goal, but without sex, it's little more than two people who happen to know each other.
 
They can have a bond which makes them more then room mates, I don't think sex is needed for a good relationship, helps though!
