Is it bad to seperate sex from love and relationships?

Now let me preface this by saying Im a 23yo guy and Ive never had a relationship or sex but someone pointed this out to me and now I feel like Im genuinely insane.

So whenever I have a crush on or am actually in love with a girl I just do not sexualise her as much, the occasional wank thinking about her involves more focusing on her voice, and whenever I talk or think about her I describe her as cute or sweet and other more endearing and innocent things, never as hot or sexy, and that’s when I realised it.

Sex isn’t a part of love for me, love is something that makes you comfortable enough to have sex, they are otherwise unconnected, love is something pure and in your head and gut where as sex is in your body and the deep need to reproduce and feel please, for example:As much as I fantasize about it I couldnt really sleep with that insanely hot chick I went to highschool with, if I could do it sober with anyone it would have to be my best friend who I trust and love enough to be so intimate with. Which is almost kinda paradoxical since without the intimacy of actually doing it it’s just completely loveless, that’s why Im happy to show random women online how I jack off but can’t bring myself to even use a term more inapropriate than “sleeping with” when I talk about someone I really like. Even if I found a girl that likes me and started a relationship I couldnt sleep with her for months, until Im comfortable, I was told by friends (including a girl that I kinda fancy a little bit which was absolutely soul crushing) that that would doom any relationship I would ever have....

So is it really that bad? Should I try to reconcile sex with love? If so how? Am I just completely fucked?

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou
