Q: How does a relationship between a sex-repulsed person or an asexual person and someone who wants sex work? What can make that easier?
A: While your question offers an extreme example, it shows us something pretty common in relationships. People in a relationship rarely have exactly the same sex drive. Commonly, one partner wants to have sex more often than the other partner. Also, people’s sex drives can change either quickly or over time. Someone might not want to have sex one day but want to the next. One partner might not want a lot of sex at one time and then find that they do want a lot of sex a another time. Sex drive is not a constant in most people’s lives.
Now, in the specific situation you asked about, the couple certainly can find a way to manage this big disparity in sex drive. For some couples, sexual activity isn’t the most important thing in their relationship so a big difference in sex drives is no big deal. Sometimes couples make rules so that the person with the higher sex drive can masturbate as much as they want, or even have sex outside of the relationship without it being considered cheating. A couple that loves one another and is committed to one another will be creative to try to find a way for the relationship to survive. Sometimes, however, this is not possible and the couple needs to end their relationship, either by changing it to a non-sexual friendship or by separating entirely.
