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.
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.
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
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.

That’s the way. Don’t let your growth be limited by a psychological chastity cage.
Asexual != Aromantic
I thought it means they reproduce asexually. So one day the GF will just randomly be pregnant with modern Jesus.

In fairness I think aromantic and asexual get confused a lot
Lol you can fuck girls who aren’t your girlfriend
