Sexless dating is... well, you all know what sexless dating is.
More to the point, is sexless dating something that you would be willing to partake in?
I do not mean, would you go on a date or two with someone, where no sex was involved.
My question is directed to the willingness for participation in an ongoing dating relationship, that does not include sex.
I do not want to be unfair to the virgin population among us, but the question is best asked of those, who have at least some sexual experience. That is, once you have had sex, would you willingly go without?
Could you sublimate your sexual feelings and desires, with a regular dating partner, and indefinitely forgo sexual intercourse?
No, why would I want to inflict harm to myself? Do I go to the restaurant for the smells.

I, personally, do not date women just for the purpose of sex. There's a lot more than just sex. who doesn't enjoy having a decent, productive, informative, therapeutic( you name it) conversation with a beautiful woman over a delicious meal?
That was not the question. The question was:
Could you sublimate your sexual feelings and desires, with a regular dating partner, and indefinitely forgo sexual intercourse?

I don't know what the big deal is. I mean, basically, when you and a friend (of the same sex) go and do something it is basically sexless dating. I mean that, the reason you are spending time with the person is for their company and not anything to do with physical intimacy.
Why can't a man and a woman do the same?
Isn't it possible to go out and enjoy an evening or sit and eat dinner without the prerequisite attempt at sex.
My wife and I have a standing rule and anything that you might do with the same sex, and it not be considered gay, you can do with the opposite sex and it not be considered overstepping the marital bounds.
Not everyone operates this way. I have gone to lunch with female coworkers many times. It is no big deal. One time, I had started a new job and I asked one if she wanted to eat lunch in the cafeteria. Her eyes got big. "I don't think it's a good idea" Dammit!!!! Food!!!! not sex!! Cafteriia!!!! Not motel!!!!
Anyhow, I tink that sexless dating ought to be fine, and I used to do it from time to time. The only time it can get awkward is if there is a confusion. When I was in college, I was in the pplay Oliver, and sometimes at dinner break, I would go out for pizza with a girl named Bridgette. It was fine, but it was a freindly thing, not a romantic thing. At some point, she decided she wanted it to become romantic. I liked her alot, but not really in that way. She was very pretty, very nice, and easily as good or better then other girls I had dated. Looking back, I don;t understand it, but for some reason, the muse just didn't strike me.
The sad part is, it put up a wall in our friendship. Somehow, when you corss that friendship line, you can't get back over to the safe zone again. You're either lovers or ex's from then on.

I have guy friends that I go out with. We don't have sex, we just go out and have fun. We talk, dance, eat, whatever but would rather be wonderful friends and not run the risk of screwing up (no pun intended) a perfectly good friendship with sex.

A serious relationship involves sex in the equation and goes far beyond the friendship stage...

Spirit, I would respectfully disagree. It's entirely possible to have a relationship with someone that you wouldn't trade for the world, someone that you've never loved as much or as deeply, someone you didn't think it was possible to love to that extent, and while the desire may be there to consummate the relationship sexually, for various reasons - social, religious, or otherwise - you choose NOT to have sex as part of the relationship until some undetermined time well into the future - that, my friend, is NOT just a friendship. It goes a whole lot deeper than that. There's a huge difference in the manner in which you love your friends, and that in which you love "THE ONE".....although that one extremely significant person should be your BEST friend, but it's far more than a mere friendship. Trust me, it is entirely possible to experience THE most fulfilling relationship of your life - yet to not allow sex to enter that relationship.

I've been engaged in sexless dating for YEARS now and I LOVE IT!!! It takes the pressure off of the relationship so that it isn't some sort of stress release valve and allows the couple to really focus on each other which is truly wonderful and lovely. As a truly fat black tub of goo... sex isn't all that pleasurable for those would be partners of mine anyway. Who'd want to be crushed under hundreds of pounds of hot greasy and sweaty fat. Ultimately.. it's nicer to be face to face doing things we like to do and are both comfortable with. Seeing a movie... seeing a show.... holding hands as we walk in the park.... sharing an ice cream cone or three on a summer's day. Leave sex for all those well tanned and well toned love bunnies out there. I just want to look into my woman's eyes and share those secret sort of smiles.

more people should do this till they get to know the other person well enough to know if they want to be with them really with them. to many people put so much importance on sex instead of love friendship shit just getting to know some one if you wait till you get to know them you just may not want them sexually any more whats the rush if their worth it they will still be around when your really ready

Isn't it sad how many people cannot get the difference between "affair" , "friendship" and "courtship".?... For those who never experienced the last : courtship is the sexiest activity ever -and it is the only activity which establishes strong foundation for lifelong partnerships,since it's the time when two people "mold" themselves into being perfect match to each other, "design" the blueprints of their future life together. It's , in fact, nothing but sort of "foreplay" - the one long enough to ensure mutual attraction for life....

i love the idea that dating without sex is friendship
if you're dating someone (meaning that you see them more than twice a week, you talk on the phone with them, you've got stuff at their house because you're there so often, etc) you must have feelings for them. and it's my experience that friends don't have those kinds of feelings for each other.
it's also my understanding, from experience, that friends can fool around and have sex and still be friends.
