| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 2/14/2008 12:12:25 PM | An intimate sexual relationship is a very natural part of the love two people share for each other. But I do feel that when sex is not the goal or outcome and there's still magic just being together having a hot cup of cocoa - you've really got something and that's when it's hot. Sex is great . . . with the right person and there's more than just body talk. Sometimes there's body talk only but those other things are there, too - standing by. Sex is not everything and certainly not gonna make a relationship last. It is a vital part of the relationship along with the other components; not the only part. When it's treated like THE most important part you will have trouble keeping it together. Well, that's if you're talking about true love. I'm no expert but I know I'm more than my performance in the bedroom.
Know what? Sex can be the calmer when someone can't sleep. It can be the appeaser when you need to make up. And it can simply be just plain pleasurable. But, just say you had a skiing accident and was laid up for months. [hee] Gonna need some real lovin'. And then sex will be all the better when the you're all well again.

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 2/14/2008 10:08:48 PM | In Math, there is this notion of "necessary but not sufficient" ....
.... good sex is absolutely necessary for a great relationship but, without the connection, companionship, compatibility ... the relationship will likely fail.
On the other hand, amazing sex by itself will not sustain a relationship .... well, at least not past the first dozen times  | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 2/15/2008 5:42:53 AM | I agree... sex is very very important to me as well in a relationship. I'm very sensual and sexual..But to be in love with my lover and to make love to him is a precious gift. Touching, feeling, laughing, kissing, tasting and everything that you share with one another is mountainous and climactic.If you have a partner that you can bond with and grow with and be yourself with, you have something special. It is a great bonding experience, as said before. Talking to each other while you're making love , saying all the right things..Making that person know that they are loved and cared for makes all the difference in your love life. Knowing that they can just be who they are with you. To look into their eyes and see the love and adoration for you, as if you are the only person in the universe ( at least their universe) knowing that they want and need you, that's ecstasy.Two bodies, conjoined as one., clinging to one another,pleasuring each other... it's priceless to me... sex is not everything... but i know i can't live without it!!!.. I rate sex in a relationship as one million...LOL  | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 2/18/2008 7:22:41 PM | | I think it depends on how deep and/or fully developed the relationship is. Too early on, it seems to become an obstacle to anything deeper, although it's not clear to me just why. I wonder if anyone can suggest any reasons for this phenomenon? | |

Unless you love with all your heart, it's just SEX anyway. But when you really love someone and they love you making love is an extension of all day foreplay... romance, cuddling, going for a walk, an intimate conversation, saying what's on your mind and heart, doing joint things together, etc... without that, it's not important at all. It's just sex.
very true, without foreplay romance is meaningless to me in a relationship | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 2/18/2008 7:48:25 PM | Of the importance in a relationship, this is how I rank it:
1) Love 2) Communication 3) Emotional connection 4) Compromise 5) Spending time together (ex: dancing, dining out, shared interests, etc..) 6) Being good lovers for one another (Yes, being a good lover involves far, far more than just in the bedroom) 7) Sex
Sex is quite important, but not the most important in a relationship. | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 2/18/2008 8:02:14 PM | | Frankly speaking, sex is just what it is SEX. I've been around the block or two and sex is just not that important if and I stress if the passion and emotions isn't there. Nothing I like better than to getting lost pleasing my mate. If your on and then off again no one benefits. Not even the guy really, even thou they may brag about it. | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 2/18/2008 8:50:41 PM | | For me, sex is an important part of a intimate relationship. It's a form of expression, of communication for me. Without the physical intimacy to go along with the emotionaly intimacy, my relationship with this person would be limited to friendship. Friends are important, but I'm talking about that one special guy. | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 5/29/2008 7:03:03 PM | Because,,,it is all that is expected then ... really? Men are strictly physical by nature. Women are emotional by nature. If the sex comes first, that will be the only expectation, but they are both thinking different things. He is thinking the sex is great, she is thinking he loves her. The problem comes in when each one soon discovers they each have faults they can not live with ... so, here is my true and one philosphy on dating...show ALL your faults ,,, if he feels he can live with hers ,,, great,,,if she feels she can live with his,,,great,,,if not ... they both can have sex  | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 5/29/2008 7:45:25 PM | | Speaking for myself..i've had great sex..but outside the bedroom we had nothing in common..just an animal-type lust and its over in like what 1-2 hours at most?? What do u do the other 23 hours?? All those other things make a relationship however, if the sex is just so-so, i cannot continue down the path of S.O.So basically having the total package is where its at, does everything have to be perfect?/ No, but it better get better and better as time goes on because once the sex goes..so goes the relationship. | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 5/29/2008 7:49:15 PM | | After a 2 year relationship with a woman who was sexually abused and only wanted to have sex 4 times in 2 years, I place the importance VERY high in my next relationship, because I'm not going to go through that again willingly. | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 5/29/2008 10:13:45 PM | | Sadly, I think lack of sexual compatability is one of the facts that results in cheaters... I'm not saying always but it can be a deal breaker. I have a high sex drive, and if my partner can't match it, it may not be an issue right away, but it will be eventually... Sad, and it may not be right, but it's the truth with me. | |
|
| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 7/7/2008 1:36:15 PM | And this person here is just lying about it it being a deal breaker...for one you like to have the pictures falling off the wall, 2 ripping the sheets off the bed, 3 rug burns.... A small dic person is not going to make that happen. No matter how hard you try if you the type of person who enjoys this. I don't see a 4 inch we we cause or giving you satisfaction. he might lick you to death but it want kill the curiosity. Now your out cheating trying to find the satisfaction that your girls tell you about when they being dic down. | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 7/7/2008 2:08:38 PM | "But what about imtimate conversation, taking a walk and holding hands, cuddling on the couch without it leading to the bedroom each time.To me there's so much more to a relationship other than sex. Don't get me wrong, I'm not antisex, but experience this so often with men it makes me wonder..........curious about your thoughts....maybe it's just me...."
Please, women , just speak your're f*&*kn mind for once. Seriously, what the hell is that supposed to mean. | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 7/11/2008 7:16:22 PM | I guess it depends on if you are getting any or not.
If you don't use your will to try to please your mate when he/she needs it or expresses desire for it.....or you use sex or lack thereof as a weapon..........then sex importance becomes greatly exagerated. It can go to the top of the list and throw the whole relationship in frustration/lack of trust/ bitterness if one or both parties don't want to freely give and participate in healthy lovemaking.
I would rate it 4 0r 5 if everything else is there (such as respect, communication, compassion, affection, emotional support ) | |

| How Do You Rate The Importance of Sex In A Relationship Posted: 9/3/2008 7:00:12 AM | | I rate the importance very very highly. Think about it this way, without sex or at least the prospect/possiblity of it, would most relationships last? Personally I wouldn't feel satisfied, and even if there was a connection with the current, I'd be looking for what he isn't giving me somewhere else. | |
