Just curious to know what level of importance everyone thinks sex is in a relationship?

  • i do not believe sex is important. without the feelings behind it, whats the point. if you can get attached to someone based on sex alone, that personas self esteem should be evaluated. but yet you can be in complete bliss with someone and never having touched them. and if you are wonderully in love with someone (so u think) and you rush in, the sex sucks, you will lose the little bit of feelings....
  • I think there has to be intimacy yes but sex shouldn't be the entire relationship (unless both partners make it a high priority). My exhusband HAD to have sex every single night or he would actually be mad. I felt like an object. It wasn't romantic or.loving it was purely to keep him pleasured. It got so bad. We couldn't cuddle on the couch or anything because he would immediately become horny. Don't get me wrong I like sex but it just ruined our relationship cause it was just all he wanted ever.
  • I feel that for a healthy relationship sex is very important...its not about the quantity (every day or 2 times a week..ect.) but the time spent together. its an opprotunity to be close and intamite with someone on a level that u cant be with everyone else. i think it is an important part of really knowing and loving someone.

  • Its important but not THE most important thing. Affection and intimacy (imo) rank higher than sex in a relationship. My husband and I have great sex but its not often and its ok because it works for us. We kiss randomly throughout the day and night, cuddle/snuggle,we talk and laugh in bed. If we didn't have all that then it wouldn't matter how often we had great sex.
  • Sex can not be the reason you are with someone, but I do think it is important in a relationship. Not necessarily the act of sex but the intimacy of it. I know that when my hubby and I first got together we would have sex 3 or 4 times a DAY! now after 7 years together ( and being almost 7 months pregnant) we have sex every few weeks. Although it is few and far between now, it is more intimate then when we were first dating, we are (as much as it pains me to say this, b/c it sounds so orny! lol) making love and it is more special.
  • It has to be a healthy balance.. if it is all about sex then what relationship do u have other than a f#@% buddy? But if there is not a steady amount of intimacy it will never work.. my ex and rarely had sex and usually I had to be pretty intoxicated to want sex .. I believe the physical attraction has to be there too to make it work. so I think it is very important to understand ur own sexual needs in a relationship .. then find someone with similar needs :)
  • I think its important. My bf is my best friend, and we have great sexual chemistry. Without it. I think wed just be friends.
  • sex is important in a relationship, if he aint screwin u he screwin somebody else.
  • Apparently its the number one priority for them....I don't care too much for it
  • My personal opinion sex is not everything me n my husband do it once in awhile n I'm happy with that I love him so much n him blessin me with two beautiful sons
  • I don't care how many feelings you have for your partner sex is needed to express those feelings *&enhance them ;;)
  • Sex is not everything but it is important. As ladies, we don't see it as our main priority as long as there is love. But you have to think about the men, no matter what they say, if the action is boring in the bedroom then their eyes are going to stray.
  • If you don't have anything above the waist it won't be good below the waist if you don't have emotionally connection then sex isn't important but if connected then it should be a priority
  • Man sex is the #1 thing in a marriage. For a man its all they need. Idk abt a dating situation but in marriage it's key
