The most important thing is to talk to your partner and not make any assumptions! So many people spend months feeling down and depressed thinking that they aren't attractive to their partner anymore, only to find out their partner was having confidence issues with their own body or something like that and it was nothing to do with loss of attraction at all. Always keep talking 💛

Forget sex starved, I'm so touch starved when a cashier accidently touched my hand while handing me change I found myself saying "Thank you" and got REALLY embarrassed

[RRthee]

I appreciate this very much. It is NOT talked about enough and happens so much more than we know. It’s embarrassing and kills you on the inside. I’m happy to finally be out of a sexless marriage.

Jokes on you I’m not even in a relationship 😭

lack of intimacy is what ruined my last relationship, i acted differently and couldn’t figure out why until now. thank you

[GodammitNappa]

This was a big reason for my last long term relationship ending. It's not fun, its almost harder to talk about, and you are not less valid for wanting or needing sex. It's natural, and honestly a big part if you're not asexual

In my last relationship, my ex told me that there is no such thing as sexual needs and that I was selfish for even having the conversation. It messed me up for a long time. No intimacy whatsoever, no touch, no affection, just me fawning and begging to get any of their attention for two years while they lived rent-free and unemployed in my studio.
Don't cheat, don't go looking elsewhere, just leave. There is no worse feeling than feeling alone with someone sharing the same bed as you.💔

Never understood the lack of sex. You see eachother everyday and you still hold out. Its simple manipulation.

[TheSelfCenter]

Interpersonal relationships are harder than ever for people in the age of distractions. A healthy romantic relationship and a healthy sex life is absolutely up there as one of the hardest things to maintain... Great video! And I hope people can strive towards healthier relationships! 💯☀️

This is so real, just broke with my girlfriend of 3 years, it hurts like hell gathering the courage to talk about being sexually neglected by them and not be looked at like fucking is the only thing you want from them.
Worst of all is nothing changing after lots of conversations. Lacking sex while being single isnt the same as when having a partner, this person is the one you choose to be with forever and you get depressed, loose self esteem, feel lonely, scared and you keep staying silent because there too special of a person to loose. All the time invested and so much


But i came to the realisation that was killing me. putting me on edge always angry always staring at the ceiling at night sleeping next to them, please walk away if you can. 3 years of waiting for change have showed me that. I got to a place where I didn't do alot of things right a boyfriend but i could say that sexual neglect is the root of all our issues but i was blamed being committed knowing damn well when and why our issues started. Dont wait for them.
(Feeling lonely while with someone you love is worse than being alone) HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎊 2024

Great video! 👍 Intimacy goes beyond sexual intercourse—it is not just sex. Intimacy is about closeness, about being together and about creating and maintaining a relationship. The first steps: talking together and touch each other.
You're talking about two important things:
💙we're always a value when we learn to value ourselves
💙lack of sex is not an excuse to cheat

My husband hasn’t slept with me in years. I’m 43. I have tried. Now I’ve given up. I can’t get a divorce as I can’t afford it. Shows me no affection. Is kind an all but now we’re house mates. I’ve been patient but I’m trapped and starting to hate him.

[parsaghavami]

Sexual desire kind of makes me stressed, and i do not like to make physical contact with those i don't know, but i think the more emotional and intellectual connection with someone, the more my physical desire increases (it's my hypothesis for a relationship)

[chainsofalice]

Out of the 8 relationships I've had, 7 were sexually involved and all of those 7 relationships my needs were not met, and even then my partners would be the cheaters. I've held such resentment over them for so long and I'm just tired of being taken advantage of to satisfy someone else's needs. Nowadays it's difficult to connect with people to start a relationship and become intimate bc I'm demisexual and I have alot of trust issues, so it's extremely difficult to even get to that point anymore due to my generations casual attitude towards relationships and sex.

I’ve been going through this for the past 3 years & I’m sad that I have to leave..

I'm having a sexuality crisis where I seriously wonder if I'm not asexual and it makes me feel so guilty. I don't want my partner to be sexually frustrated but honestly, most of the time I just don't need or want sex. I love them to pieces and really believe they're my soulmate and I don't wanna ruin it by the lack of sex life

[coolbanana]

I've thought there was something wrong when people say "sex isn't a need" to dismiss peoples concerns about a lack of sex. Don't we need a middle ground between thinking your partner is your sex slave and you are entitled to sex, or on the other hand, dismissing such 'needs' as irrelevant?

If a lack of food or sleep had this affect on people, no one would say it's not a need if you aren't dying. Or if you always felt hungry, but not enough to die, that wouldn't be dismissed.

You're not entitled to sex, but sex is a core drive, and feeling sex starved is less than ideal. So maybe it's good to encourage sex without it being compelled?

Sorry, just a quick reminder that it should be your instead of you're. I think it's great you bring up topics like this
