An asexual woman and her partner weigh in on the most frustrating and satisfying aspects of their relationship.
'When we started dating, I sometimes would feel guilty. I thought I should do it for [Jamie]. Initially, I did things just to make her happy, but she eventually told me, “Cut the crap, you don’t need to do it.” In our hypersexual culture, we attach body to sex. It works for some people while it doesn’t work for others. We both like cuddling dogs and have long conversations with each other. She is also my best friend.'
