Get the nonogamy mug.
1. An exclusive and ostensibly romantic relationship that is devoid of sex. Typically, it is because one partner witholds due to emotional distance or other non-sexual reasons, but still expects the other to not stray.

2. A sarcastic reference to modern monogamy in the developed world where sex is marginalized or disappears in a marriage in favor of career, child rearing, bills, fatigue and other domestic issues.
