can they work?

me and my bf have been together for 3 1/2 yrs. 2 of which have been sexless. im 32 hes 37.
we are happy together but do both have relationdship issues. he wont let anyone in due to bad past experiences and hates confrontation.
i find it hard to trust guys due to very bad past experiences.
when we first met it was on a drunken night out and he ended up back at mine, we used to have sex everytime we saw each other which was about 4 times a week. it slowed down over time until it was once a week, once a fortnight, once a month, every 6 weeks and now its never.
we have never discussed why this happened and have both just excepted this has happened. i have gained alot of weight and worry this is the reason though.
we love each other and i know its not because either of us have someone else.

i just want to know im not alone with this and it can work and there are happy people out there who like me are happy in there relationship.

" i have never heard of such a thing, its okay not to have sex. but sex is also a way to express your love for another, alot of older people just dont think sex is important in the relationship anymore cause thier not with their lover for sex which is sweet. there should be sex every now and then but never, i think its crazy "

" I heard of these relationships working as long as both people are on the same page.

I personally, couldn't deal with it. But for some people it works. "

" yes vampire it is another way to express love for one another but not the only way, we find other ways, we arent together for sex we're together coz we love each other.

we are still intimate, we kiss and cuddle, hold hands etc etc. it seems to work for us. "

" It is such a individual thing..My partner and i didnt have sex for a couple of months due to a disruptive new pet but also no desire..infact he slept in a different room...now we are sleeping in the same bed and have had sex 3 nights in a row and last night he was to tired lol...Sex is not a bad thing its a wonderful thing and i swear it has healing elements to it...my partner and i always connect on every plan during and after sex....its not just the act...If i was your doctor i would write a perscription 1)feathers 2)something you can eat strawberries and cream...choco paint and brush....3)sexy lingere and plan a romantic night doing something to bring on excitment anticipation....then lots of foreplay stroking his thighs even having a bath together....and then go for it ride him like theres no tomorrow so to say...:) "

" It does happen, I am living proof. Married over 5 ys, no sex for 5...I couldn't perform the ways he ordered me to do, he had an erectile dysfunction which got worse...between the two, our sex went kapoot..I don't know what happened and we do not speak about it. I am so afraid he will start ordering me to do things that wear me out, but at the same time my vanity has been massacered! He has gotten viagra, did not seem to help. I am too embarrassed to talk about this with him. I am one confused woman! "

" I think eventually somethings gona give. Sex is important in any relationship no matter what the circumstances. It may be ok to substain in the short term but eventually someone who wants it is going to start feeling resentful if they aren't getting it.
Everyone has different sex drives. Sometimes the man has a higher one than the woman and sometimes the woman has a higher one than the man. It's up to the couple to communicate with each other and compromise.
There are times when sex is expected to happen like holidays and vacations. That puts a lot of pressure on the ones that don't want it as much.
I believe that most women who feel that they don't want to have sex just need more foreplay. Most times they are not feeling eager as the man so it's up to the man to get her to that point. You may not feel like having sex in the beginning but once he gets you worked up, watch out cause he better be ready to finish what he started lol.
It can also be disappointing when once you start, it's over in a matter of minutes. He gets off and your still left hanging and you start to wonder...why bother? Well, that's when you make sure that you get off first because it takes less effort for him to.
If you fake orgasm then you both lose out on learning what pleases you. "
