Asexual partnerships

Isn't some sex part of a healthy partnership? I found reading this interesting. www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-45562014 having gone through times like this as well, especially when children are young. I'm not sure most would be happy with it though.

As it said in the report some people need sex to be happy others don't.
They obviously fall into the don't category.
Its what works for you both as a couple.
Not everyonelikes sex. Some people think it's highly over rated.
Plus there are also a number of reasons why some people can't have/don't want sex
eg past sexual trauma abuse/rape.

It's made me think. It can feel a pressure to have sex, lots on magazines and online about having great sex life etc, and it can seem a bit like a pressure or something everyone needs to be doing, and you are a failure if not.

Maybe it's quite refreshing to see this.
