 This is a very intersting bit of discussion and had to come to terms with such an issue many years ago.  I was always dating these wild girls who were a lot of fun as far as "passion" goes but were often rather psychopathic as far as running any other aspects of their lives.  At one point I met and dated ( for 3 years ) a VERY nice girl who could shoot, cook, fish, loved GREAT movies, etc, etc, etc. In fact, for all intents and purposes, she was PERFECT.  As stable as could be.  Not one "issue" at all.  Except for one thing...she was about as passionate as a cold, dead fish.

 I told myself that it didn't matter....that passion was only one small aspect of a big picture and that I could live without it because she was so great in all other ways.

 In the end of it all I got to the point where I wanted to cheat on her....I NEEDED that one little thing that I thought was so unimportant....PASSION.  A spark....some sign of life.  Maybe it's because I'm a Scorpio.....I dunno but that is the way I am.

 As it was I was dying for a passionate relationship. Well, I don't cheat.  I WON'T cheat.  So I left her....I felt guilty as all hell for doing it...I really broke her heart ( and I am still paying for it ) but in the end....it was the right thing to do.

 Not all people "need" passion, Bellona, but there are some of us who do...and to those of us who do, nothing at all can replace it.  Not all of the money in the world or all of the tea in China.  It makes for a lonely life to try to find someone with a decent balance of all things...but I am not one to settle.

 Good luck and I hope that, one way or another, you can solve this issue.




If you require it to feel alive, I'm not sure there is a flip you can do about it.  But you might stock up on cash for late in life so you can still get "what you need" even though you're less attractive.  Seems cold and shallow somehow, doesn't it?

What a waste.  Is it really "cheating" if she's cool with the arrangement?

Daydreamer, I don't propose to speak for desertmoon, but the way I read it, passion != sex.  At least not necessarily.

My reading of his account was that they were more like roommates, and that he wanted something more, which certainly could have included boning, but was not necessarily required.

I certainly didn't think he was advocating buying it.*

Let me restate....I'm not having this problem. It's something that a friend and I who discuss relationships have talked about.

In a physical sense, sometimes people click right away, and others have to work at it a bit. I've dated guys who can't kiss as well as I'd like, but that's not the reason things didn't work out. Then I've also dated guys who could melt me with a kiss, or even just the thought of it, but that wasn't enough to keep us together.

I can understand how frustrating things can be when the "passion" is lacking. When that occurs, though, it's time to reevaluate things and talk about it. Usually a turn is an indication of a deeper problem.

Denial is a very unhealthy thing. It's well documented that a woman's chances of landing a guy drop like a Buick off the edge of the Grand Canyon as soon as they hit 23. Maybe sooner. You better latch on to this goob before he stumbles across the source of all knowledge and hightails it out of town like a midget on roller skates with a JATO attached to his back.

Cling desperately, remora-like and get that ring while you can.

If you are caught the secretary will disavow all knowledge of this operation. This post will self-destruct in 10 seconds. Good luck Ms. Bellona.

You and me both.  Oddly, as much as I regret that whole incident, it was the NEXT relationship that I really screwed up.  That one was ENTIRELY my bad and I have been rueing that day for the past 6 years.

Teach him...

Not only is it sexy, but it shows that you are willing to put an effort into the relationship.

If he is decent and down to earth, he'll learn... plus, he'll value you even more because you are willing to communicate. (Big, big, problem in relationships)

My 2 cents.

Eithor accept him as is.......or drop him.  You can try to teach him, but do not, I repeat, do not use any .......motivational practices that are cruel & unusual.  Just a thought....if you are so shallow that you will drop "mr. almost-perfect" because his imperfection is that he can't kiss.....then you need to look hard in the mirror and realize that you aint perfect eithor.
