Does love need sex to prove and complete it?

Only armpit love.

OT... I agree with Delightful

Well everything is not about sex.

I'll ask my friend Maslow.

some friends of mine had been married for like 15 years last time i talked to them , they are married and have never had sex with each other
and dont plan to ... i say had only because i have not talked to them in a long long time , but would put money on a bet (i am not a betting man)that they are still together

but really
it all depends on the person
some will say yes , and some no

but to answer your Que no love and sex are 2 totally different things
i love the dog in the pic with me
i will never EVER have sex with her
but i will love her till are paths are no longer intertwined

we can go with religion
love they neighbor , i really don't think they want you to have sex with they neighbor, to prove your love : )

but then again sex to some people is love

that is more of a you and your partner to decide

for me i have to be in love with a lady, and dating before i will have sex with her ... and even then it wasn't to prove my love
<shrug>
but i am an old dien breed

Romantic Love usually ends in sex, if the Couple cares for one another and has Chemistry.

If not, they are just Friends or roommates, love as friends no sex is needed.

I love etouffee.
But i've never had sex with it.

You think sex proves something?

I would answer no. Sex proves horniness and/or attraction. that is all it 'proves'.

Lack of sex proves either lack of horniness or attraction or an excess of will power.

some people still feel sex is for marriage, those people can love and feel loved without sex.

its all very subjective to that individual and their standards.

Something to think about, that is within the formation of your question itself.

You ask if "love" needs sex to "prove it."

Think about that a bit more. Is "love" a creature? A person? A thinking entity which CAN require proof of something?

I would suggest not.

What you have mixed up in how you asked the question, is who or what is looking for proof. It isn't love, that's the emotion, or the perception.

The PERSON who does or doesn't love, is who could be searching for "proof."

By asking this question incorrectly, you've caused your own confusion.

The correct way to ask, might have been to ask OF the people who are concerned about whether or not they feel love: do THEY need to have sex, before they believe that they feel love?

True love not need to be proved with sex. True love is a feeling that you care your partner a lot, sex is available or not, not neccessary. If you are just friends or room m ates, you have no need to have sex with them.

Once again for the 'cheap seats'
All Love Is True or it isn't Love - its something else.

Since love is a completely self-felt condition, you are basically asking if you need sex for you to feel love?
Do you?
Personally, I know I don't.
But, we are all different and I have no authority to tell you how you should feel love.
After all, its only you that lives (and loves) behind your eyes.

Probably not but it sure helps a romantic relationship. You want a monogamous relationship? Kinda hard to have without any sex - nothing for monogamy tp apply to.

Sex doesn't prove anything other than two people are physically capable of having sex.

So True

did Layla and majnun have sex ??? Their love became a legend ...


What about unrequited romantic love ??

Love really has no labels ..the boundaries .. conditions and limitations we impose are based on our own ideals .....sex can be an expression of romantic love but It is not a prerequisite

Shivers

. Yes i agree with you
