I'm no spring chicken. Was happily married 22 years.
Now 50 and pleased with my life ... also currently have this incredible mutual sexual chemistry with someone (nothing much has happened yet) .... and I really can't have sex with this man. Honestly goes against my faith. And besides, casual sex just makes me feel cheap and lousy. Made a promise to myself a long time ago that I wouldn't have sex again (maybe ever - if need be) unless I found the right, mutually respectful, loving, committed, caring relationship.
I really don't want to lose this man .... but is it even POSSIBLE to have a physically affectionate friendship and avoid sex? What's a woman to do in this situation? Does sex trump all else in the minds of men?
Any sincere male perspectives appreciated. Sorry to be so off topic, but I respect a lot of the men on this board.
