I am happy to have learned it is un-necessary.

You gotta match in this area. If you don't then someone is going to be unhappy :(

for anyone who says sex is not important in the grand scheme of things...tell that to the person who isn't getting any

I guess it all depends on the person as well as the age .. sex can't be important if you can't remember what sex is.

This sounds like a physiological problem to me. That is tough.

I think the first response nailed it!

It is too much for him.
It is also not enough for the OP presumably.

The question is...what are you going to do about it?

More to the point...I put a great deal of value in sex. If it's fun and if we both enjoy it and we are both open to trying new things...or not....just going with it and having a healthy appreciation for it - it's all good.
I was in a long term relationship where the sex deteriorated to once a week....I didn't like that much.
In the end though, I'm not in a relationship just for the sex. I could stand to not get as much as I want all the time......thankfully I don't have to worry about that...lol

I use to think sex was not that important in a relationship , I was wrong. Sex is kinda like air , not that important until your not getting any. LOL

To me it is as important as all the other parts of a relationship. Not enough sex and the boat begins to list to port (or Jack Daniels, maybe... Ha!)

Sex is imperative.Everyday for sure,either sexual intercourse,mutual masturbation or oral if not the vibe is alive and batteries are charged.

Sex/intimacy are extremely important in a relationship. I cannot see how a relationship between a man and woman could survive without it. It is what brings the two together, isn't it? Without it, what do you have? A friend that lives in your house?

Chewy, that was such a cute answer.

:D

I was married to the same person whom I met when we were both 17 for over 31 years! Sex is what brought us together and sex was pretty much the only thing that held us together for that long. :P
(It's the only thing I miss right now; the sexual ease and comfort and intimacy that those 31 years brought. NOW, how am I supposed to find someone else to do that with?? -another topic...)
THAT, plus all the other day to day things, such as working and providing for a family with 3 kids, etc. It was a long, hard haul; but at the end of the day, we had something to look forward to. However, he always wanted it more than I did. But, still... It's the 'glue' that binds.

Lep, I think I can guess why he's your "ex". If he isn't interested enough to BE with you more than twice a day every other week (or whatever) something is seriously wrong with the picture... whatever the reason.

Blastkist......I read your post..and I am amazed.....that a woman could feel this way?...

Sex is an expression of so many wonderful things......love..passion.....need....acceptance...a way to give and receive........and show affection.....and OMG...it FEELS so good....

I think I need to give you a couple of phone numbers G/F.....I think you have just not met the right man yet.....

Biologically speaking, reproduction is the purpose of sexual intercourse ----- the means by which life is created. There has been some tendency in recent years to pass over this aspect of the sexual act, perhaps because at one time it was regarded as the only purpose of sexual intercourse. Nowadays, most people feel that sexual intercourse is also the most intimate way of expressing love. Giving and receiving the greatest pleasure and experiencing the release that accompanies it is a natural and healthy desire.

IIMO ... not necessary at all. My ex basically completely shut me off over the last year we were together and it never affected how I felt about her.

I disagree. I've gotten involved with men who's sex drive didn't jive with mine and I tell you it's frustrating. However, sex without love is empty, if I want that well there's always BOB. So I'd say it's 6 of one half dozen of the other, to me sex is an indication of the chemistry between two people.....if it's not there well hey if I just want companionship I'll get a dog.

It depends on the libidos and other factors of the poeple involved.Some people want it more than others.Personally I like it as often as possible.Days that end in "Y" work for me.

Everyone is different. It's important to find someone whose interest in sex matches your own.

If it's not enough for your taste, I recommend looking for other options. If you are satisfied with the relationship then hang in there. But a question I had is when you say sex 2 times a day every other weekend, does that mean actual copulation twice or is it two sessions with multiple copulation and orgasms. Also are you OK with the number of orgasms you are having??? That's how you can answer this question for yourself.
P.S. what does-18-8 mean??? You aint going with an 18 year, 8 month old are you, because if you are and his appetite is twice a day two weekends a mont, then I say RUN, FOREST, RUN.

I agree with others here and posts to other threads about this subject. It's what the two of you agree upon. I've had virtually sexless relationships, i.e., relationships lasting as long as seven months with just occasional, once a month sex, and others, lasting just a few weeks when we had sex two and three times in a night two and three nights a week, or as often as we met. It all depends upon the two of you and how you want the relationship to go.

One thing though, a relationship without any sex doesn't last. I've had those type of relationships as well. Obviously not many!
