Demisexual. Someone who only experiences sexual attraction after forming a strong bond. Asexual. Someone who does not experience sexual attraction.
I'm pansexual. Someone who experiences sexual attraction regardless of the other person's gender.
Sexuality is fluid; it is not a fixed point. It can change. Society conditions us to think one thing--that everyone has sex and it is the most important thing in a romantic relationship, but it's really not. It's not. I'd give up sex forever to be really ...close to someone. I guess. It sounds dumb.
So, yes. Sex is never something you have to have or do. If you don't want it, I respect that. Don't do it just to 'fit in.'
