How important is sex in a relationship?

If something happened to your partner and they were unable or unwilling to have sex for a very long time or indefinitely, what would you do? And how often do you and your partner do it

 

Never mind.

 

Okay. Let's just strike my comment from the record.

 

I'd chuck a tantrum. I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS!!

 

finds new partner..

every couple days, sometimes quick sex sometime slow sex. Im not really in love with this person. Im dependent on her because shes close, pretty, young, needs me for things, its a trade off. not a relationship.
and while I do this, whatever im really looking for is slipping away, because i lack the interest to seek it.

 

sex is very important for feelings. we make about 3 times a week...

 

Idk what I'd do in that situation... I think having a compatible sex drive is very important though. If two people want to do it once a week and it makes them happy then great. My gf and I both want it all the time so again thats great however if either of us was with one of the former... yeah no

 

Get him to be the one to make sandwiches

 

My hubby and I are like rabbits, everyday we have sex.

Now in saying that if it came to be he became unable of having sex due to medical reasons etc. I'd stay with him.

BUT....... if he was being a asshole and just not giving it up then after trying to talk about it I'd most likely go.

 

Sex is not at all important to me, I'm not a sexual person in any means of the word. If something happened to the person that I love and he were no longer able to be sexually active, as much as he may be upset, it really wouldn't affect me and I would still love him regardless.

 

it seem you have met boring sex men . here we have a saying . you met her angel , but you made her evil .

 

I've only had sex with two people in my life, one I was in a relationship with for over three years and one I have been with for well over one year now. There is nothing boring about it, when we have sex it's fantastic. But life isn't all about sex and it's sad if you focus everything on it. If something happened to someone that I loved I would be there for them day in and day out no matter what, I wouldn't expect him to still want to have sex if he wasn't able to do it. Sex is not the most important thing in a relationship, it's not even in the top 10.

 

I'd still love them regardless but I'm a sexual person, and sex is a need for my personal happiness and physical well being but my SO would know this because she would enjoy sex just as much if not more. I certainly would find a fuck buddy that my SO would approve of and start from there. If the tables were turned and I was the one unable to have sex, I would encourage my SO to do the same - selfishness is no way handle a bad situation.

That leads me to assume you don't have much sex nor want sex to begin with, so it wouldn't change much for you.

 

It's not that I don't have much sex, when I'm down south (which I will be again on sunday evening) I have sex pretty often, sometimes I initiate it and sometimes I don't. It's not even that I don't want sex, because sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. But sex was never a relationship requirement for me, in fact I don't sleep with anyone until I've been dating them for a minimum of 6 months, and both times has been longer because sex is emotional for me, much much more than physical. Plenty of men have tried to 'get me into bed' and each time I tell them absolutely not, it's just how I am

 

That's really nice. What a lovely partner you are. You would make someone feel very secure in all ways if that's the core of you. You made my day.

 

Why debase a beautiful thing. i have a new saying. The words of a kind, caring heart are angelic (siezed) The attempt to debase and mock those words are evil.

You boring man. Siezed, unconditional lover. Not boring. Nice. you get?

 

Love is about the other person as a whole and how the other person makes you feel, and to me sex has everything to do with love, but love has very little to do with sex, if that makes sense. It's about happiness, trust, and caring about each other, as lame as that sounds coming from me, and very little with what the other person can do with the contents of their pants

 

Sex to me is more about an emotional connection. I'm not the most sexual person in the world - In a relationship I can be deeply and intensely sexual because I intertwine sex with all these heavy emotions and I can't seperate them. I get super passionate with my man, but when we're not together its not something I really think about otherwise. It never bothers me when I'm not in a relationship and not having sex; I hardly think about it at all.

So I think to answer the question, it woud bother me because I would miss the emotional closeness of it. The physical loss wouldn't bother me as much. I would miss the intensity of emotion that I've always experienced with sex.

 

Sex is not the most important thing. But I'd put it up there with food and water.

If I was in a long term deal with the girl, I'd stay by her side. But we'd have to come to some type of arrangement because I can't just stop having sex.

 

In the end you end up having to pay for the behaviour of the rest of the sisterhood whether you like it or not

Some girls will talk about waiting 6 months for a connection, which really just means waiting to see if he's going to stick around, and mean it. Whereas some will just use that as a front and sneak around in secret, some will throw it in in a heartbeat as soon as they get a better offer, some just to get the attention, some just to be mean to another girl.

And in the end everyone else only has your word on it.

Giving into that instant raw thing, you meet a guy for the first time and instantly cant concentrate, cant stop thinking about him ravishing you then and there.....is evil? Most will put on the same act, but no ones really going to believe that
