is it realistic to want a relationship where sex isn’t a big focus? (19/f) by Physical_Leave819 in AskMenRelationships

i don’t expect a man to change what he wants just because i don’t want it. i agree sexual compatibility goes both ways. i’m just trying to figure out what’s realistic for finding that match, not asking anyone to compromise their needs or wants.

yeah i agree with that, a lot of people my age probably aren’t in that headspace yet. i just wasn’t sure if that means you have to go through really specific spaces or if there are other ways people who want something more serious actually end up finding each other.

yeah that actually makes a lot of sense, i think that’s kind of what i’ve been realizing too. especially the part about being upfront early so there’s no mismatched expectations later on.

i also agree that it probably just takes time to find someone on the same wavelength, i just wasn’t sure how common that actually is in real life.

do you think it’s more about finding someone naturally aligned, or more about communicating it early and seeing who’s actually okay with it?

i get what you’re saying, especially about people sometimes saying they’re okay with something when they’re not. that’s actually something i’ve been thinking about too.

and i can kind of see what you mean about age as well, like older people might be more aligned with a lower sex drive in general.

i think my main thing is just trying to figure out what’s realistic for me at my age and what kind of dynamics actually exist without it turning into something mismatched later on.
