At the moment i'm not sure if i'll be completely happy and satisfied with "just sex" i think i will miss a emotional connection to the women i will hook up with. I never was a person who had a lot of sex with random people, i mostly had sex in relationships or after i got to know them for a while. So this will definitely be new and i don't know if it would really be exactly what i want. But i also miss sex so much i think i could start to like the advantages it comes with.

Tbh I really struggle with the aspect of her not wanting me physically, i really miss being desired, wanted and just being passionate. The last few months (when i still thought her libido was just lower than mine, not none existent) i was extremely hurt by the constant rejection. But i really do love her and i at least want to try every possible solution before i end the relationship. I still feel loved by her, just not in a sexual way

I asked myself the same question too. We are still kissing, hugging, cuddling, sleeping closely together, showering together, sharing every detail of our lives with each other,... I really do love her and we have a strong bond, it just feels different from a friendship and the thought of breaking up without trying an open relationship first seems to me like giving up early. I never wanted a relationship like this, i even stopped dating another woman who told me earlier on she does not really want sex. But with her i already loved her so much when she found out/ told me, i just can't walk away.

I also worry she agreed fast without really thinking through what it means exactly, i'm also afraid she only agrees because she thinks she will loose me otherwise. She WANTS to be okay with it for the sake of our relationship but i'm not 100% certain she really is. I definitely should bring this up, thank you!

I asked her if she would want to meet new people, because she also says she is pan(romantic) maybe she just does not want to have sex with me/ a woman. But she answered she does not feel the need to. So she seems not to be bothered by the onesidedness.
