For These Couples, Love Doesn't Mean Sex
Original: What Do We Want From Love? For These Couples, It’s Not Sex.
The New York Times examines couples whose relationships thrive without sex, asking what people truly want from love. The piece highlights partnerships built on emotional intimacy, companionship and chosen commitment rather than sexual connection, including asexual and sexless-by-choice couples. It reflects a broader conversation about whether sex is essential to a committed relationship and how modern couples define love on their own terms.
Why now: It challenges the common assumption that sex is a necessary part of romantic love, prompting debate about relationships and intimacy.
