Sure - people do it all the time - whether by choice or circumstance. You can be happy without sex -
just how happy is another story. (personally I wouldn't want to find out!)

No, if no sex then you must be alone and nobody wants that, why are we here? I thought sex was making love to your partner. Happy is being in love.


Some people are here because of the forums, not to find a relationship. No sex doesn't necessarily mean you are alone, you could be in a relationship where it stopped for some reason, as Igor pointed out.

Making love can include sex, but sex isn't necessarily "making love" to everyone, sometimes it's just the physical act of having sex.

For me, I am not in a relationship, and I am happy, so my answer is yes!

If I were in a relationship, my happiness would not be contingent on the person I was with. With that said, if the closeness we shared were to suddenly stop, I would want to know why, reevaluate my relationship, and decide if this new arrangement is something I can live with. Sometimes, there are medical reasons sex would stop, and in a loving relationship, couples can still be happy because that isn't all that matters.

^^^ What She Said!

I try to remember that happiness is an emotional state rising and falling from the standard of contentment. Associating sex with happiness is dangerous. Sex can also be painful and oppressive.

Contentment allows you to experience happiness in many ways without sex.
Sex can be an animalistic urge to be satisfied or it can be a wonderful expression of love for another. Both can make you feel happy but sex is not the only thing that causes happiness.

The lack of sex can make you unhappy and discontented if you focus on sex as a marker for happiness. An unrealistic emotional projection.

I can be happy without it but in a loving relationship, I would feel grossly incomplete

As in really honestly totally happy? No. Especially not when in a relationship. Sure you can have some level of happiness, but you'd have to suppress something that's part of being human.
Having to suppress sexual feelings isn't healthy, and in the end may cost you a small fortune on Tena incontinence supplies as well.

I believe there is a huge possibility. sex should be valued very highly and only done with someone you can potentially spend the remainder of your life with. five ways to have fun and make exciting heroes memories!

For me, life is not static...right now, I am hungry...offer me sex and i will say no thanks...offer me a sumptuous buffet and i am ecstatic...tomorrow my libido may be my biggest drive and sexual fulfillment will make me happy...day by day, it flows like that...no reason for me to choose one thing over another...and satisfying the drive du jour is what makes me happy...

I would say yes, your happiness should not be built on if you are having sex or not. And just because your not having sex doesnt mean you are alone. It could be a personal choice. If you have a relationship merely built on sex eventually that will get old and then what do you have left???

Here's some irony for you! I was "happy" without sex for about 6 yrs with my ex husband! I was happy to not have it with him because he was getting it from everyone else; hence the reason I divorced him finally after about 10yrs of marriage!

Anyway, the irony is that I've been divorced for over 5 yrs but only JUST started dating again. WAY harder than I recall it being. I seem to crave sex all the time now though... and at really weird times. WAS seeing a guy... sort of. I never quite knew where I stood with him...still don't.(??) But the sex was GREAT! Not really enjoying living without it right now... or him!
So I guess, I'm not happy without sex from the right person ... or something like that!

You are going to get hurt really bad by the wrong guy. :cry: Hope all goes well for you.

Happiness and Sex aren't necessarily a pair at all and sometimes the second can take away from the first depending on who you're with and what situation.

I do it every day considering I've never had it. You can have some amount of happiness without sex. Its up to you whether its enuff or not.

I agree..
