This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Isn't an asexual girlfriend just a friend?
If you think romantic relationships are just sex+friendship then you're probably shit at romantic relationships.
~~Why? I honestly don't get it. I want my partner to be my best friend, but I don't think about my other friends sexually even if I do love them like family.~~
~~I don't want kids so I don't think about partners in that respect. I do want them to be my last relationship though.~~
Edit: I'll leave it, but I just continued to read the comments and found an answer I understand and agree with. I just never put enough thought into it I suppose.
That's the way. Don't let your growth be limited by a psychological chastity cage.
unless you think that's hot. then maybe.
i mean in fairness so is the guy from the greentext
or really good at friendship and probably not the best at sex.
I thought it means they reproduce asexually. So one day the GF will just randomly be pregnant with modern Jesus.

Budding buddy!
I mean, I’m asexual and intensely sex-repulsed, and my wife is asexual too, and I am madly in love with her even after being married for eight years.
It’s romance and friendship; she’s my best friend and wife. I’ll kiss her, hold her hand, rub her back and feet, buy snacks for her, loads of stuff I wouldn’t do with my friends.
I mean, I bought a house with her. I wouldn’t do that with just anybody.
No. Imagine two Catholics are dating and don't want to have sex before marriage - are they just friends? There's a lot more to romance than just sex, and I feel sorry for the partner of anyone who doesn't realise this
Like it or not, sexual compatibility and intimacy is very important to a lot of people, and a lot of partners. There is more to a romantic relationship than sex, this is very true. However, downplaying the importance of a key component of a love language does no one any favors.
They aren’t downplaying its importance, they are saying that for some people, sex in a romantic relationship isn’t necessary. This doesn’t go for most people and most people do need it in a relationship but everyone’s experience is different
Understood perfectly 👍
Asexual != Aromantic
bro can't imagine romance without sex
In fairness I think aromantic and asexual get confused a lot
Relevant Bojack Horseman scene It gets complicated when boats are involved.
Lol you can fuck girls who aren't your girlfriend
