      If you think romantic relationships are just sex+friendship then you’re probably shit at romantic relationships.

        Why? I honestly don’t get it. I want my partner to be my best friend, but I don’t think about my other friends sexually even if I do love them like family.

        I don’t want kids so I don’t think about partners in that respect. I do want them to be my last relationship though.

        Edit: I’ll leave it, but I just continued to read the comments and found an answer I understand and agree with. I just never put enough thought into it I suppose.

      I thought it means they reproduce asexually. So one day the GF will just randomly be pregnant with modern Jesus.

      I mean, I’m asexual and intensely sex-repulsed, and my wife is asexual too, and I am madly in love with her even after being married for eight years.

      It’s romance and friendship; she’s my best friend and wife. I’ll kiss her, hold her hand, rub her back and feet, buy snacks for her, loads of stuff I wouldn’t do with my friends.

      I mean, I bought a house with her. I wouldn’t do that with just anybody.
