I'm 15 and unsure of my sexual orientation as of this moment... the only feelings I have for guys are sexual, and that's only the occasional celebrity crush, not guys in general. I'm not attracted to guys I know in any way, in real life. But I have an easy time developing relationships with girls, and my good friends are all female. I truly love my best friend of 3 years, and while I can envision spending the rest of my life with her, I don't feel anything for her or any girl sexually. So, I guess my question is:
A) Can lesbians have relationships without sex?
B) Do I seem bi-curious, lesbian, or just messed up and annoying? ^_^

Turn this around. Can heteros have relationships without sex? The answer to that, of course, is Yes. So, why would it be any different for lesbians? Though they aren't in the majority, there are a large number of hetero couples who never consummate their relationships, for whatever reason. I don't see why a lesbian couple couldn't live the same way. The real question is whether you could personally live that way for the rest of your life (or however long the relationship may last) and whether your friend could, or would want to try to, as well.

I had a friend who was a teacher, scientist and Roman Catholic priest. He was also gay. He regarded his vow of celibacy to be as applicable to him as it would be to a heterosexual priest and to my knowledge, in his 82-year life, he never broke it.
