| | Can sex keep you in a relationship?Page 4 of 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) | The way I see it, OP, is if you are in a loving relationship, the sex should enhance everything else, but should not be the defining factor. I would not stay in a relationship merely for the great sex, but I would not walk away from on either, if the sex wasn't all too steamy. (Would be doing things to enhance that end of it, tho!)
Work on the other problems if you think the relationship is worth salvaging, but don't stay there only because he is a great lover. After awhile, if there is no other fuel to keep the relationship alive, this spark too will fade out. | |

However, there may come a time wherein the person says: "It's just not worth it anymore....."

| Can sex keep you in a relationship? Posted: 12/21/2007 5:51:55 AM | Hi well i tell you something 85 % of a relashionship is based on sex yes. If you are having problems in the relashionship keep on moving girl because there are a lot of good men that will be better than him. What is important is that you are happy and if your only happy when you have sex that 's pathetic. | |

| Can sex keep you in a relationship? Posted: 12/21/2007 8:12:47 AM | | I've stayed in poor relationships longer than I should have because the sex was awesome. However, good sex in a bad relationship is a temporary phenomena. Ultimately the sex can't stay better than the relationship. When you quarrel DURING sex, you really know it's time to leave. | |

I Love Making Love To you . . We need to discuss the problems we're having . . Compromise on some . . Solve others . . then we can get back to 'Making it Better ' . . !!! | |

if you are in a relationship with someone and you are having a lot of problems, but the sex is great, should that be one of the deciding factors on whether you should try harder or not?
If you are both finding the other very satisfying sexually but not satisfying in other aspects of the relationship, then the thing to do would be to keep the sex going but otherwise break up. Find someone else for the emotional aspects (and possibly a great sexual experience as well) maybe even someone who will allow you to keep your sexual relationship with that person. That's probably harder to find in some parts of the world than others. But honestly, if my gf came to me and said "the sex with that guy over there is just absolutely mind-blowing ... you know, the one that only comes around once or twice in life" I would suggest that she keep it provided his gf would also allow it.
Situations like that are rare enough in life and some never experience it at all. If I really loved someone, I wouldn't mind allowing them that experience. I mean, it isn't taking anything away from our relationship and in fact might just result in building stronger bonds of love between us. To love someone enough to allow them the experience of drinking fully from life's cup is really saying something. As long as the activities are within reason and responsible, I don't really have an issue with it and having sex once in a while with someone else isn't particularly dangerous or unreasonable, in my opinion. Particularly if it is with the same someone else. Nothing would please me more than for us to get old together and for her to also have her friend for her entire life too. | |

| Can sex keep you in a relationship? Posted: 12/21/2007 4:31:40 PM | | Unfortunately, people (men & women) stay in unhealthy relationships because the sex is so damn good. I think you should leave if someone isn't treating you right. You'll find great hot sex again. You will. | |

| Can sex keep you in a relationship? Posted: 12/23/2007 4:11:01 AM | | In my opinion, you have to remember you can be in a good relationship and have great sex. I know what it's like to have so many problems with someone but great sex and not wanting to lose that, but, in the end, the problems will cause you to have some very bad arguments. As far as sexual compatibility, that's an interesting point. He isn't the only man who can please you a lot in bed. So don't stay with him. There have been people with that pleased amazingly in bed, but we don't miss their attitudes toward us. | |

| Can sex keep you in a relationship? Posted: 12/27/2007 2:02:47 PM | | Can sex keep you in a relationship? I was not going to write anything, though I figured why not. I dont think sex can. I was in a relationship for over a year with someone, and the main thing in the relationship; I realize now, is that it really was just sex. I know in my heart that it was more than that, but the connection between us was sex. I hate to think thats all it was, maybe it was more.... Sex can definately bond two together, though in the end if there is nothing you can compare with one another; or you end up going seperate ways, it probably was the sex keeping the relationship together. | |

| Can sex keep you in a relationship? Posted: 12/27/2007 7:16:14 PM | Not me. If someone expects too much of me and I keep going to bat for them but it's all one way then I'm out of there. I'll tell them first. Maybe a couple of times. Then I'm gone like it or not.
I'm talking heavy duty sh!t not regular stuff...babysitter in bed with him when I'm supposed to be babysitting her for 2 weeks...runs away etc. Try calling the cops on that one and living with the fallout but I did...no way I was letting him away with that.
Not on my watch! Bad marriage is one thing. Wrecking a girl's life is another.
BTW, he's deceased so.... | |

| Can sex keep you in a relationship? Posted: 12/27/2007 8:00:44 PM | Well for me sex can not keep me in the same relationship. If my partner really dislike me and turn out telling me she hates me. Then it is over for us. There more to a relationship then just having Sex with someone. I perfer to get to know know the woman frist and after a few dates with her then decide together if you want to go further with it. After all at frist most women and men saying must not be looking for intimacy or sexual incounter. So I amwondering if that true by what i am reading on profile. i personally like to get to know the woman who might like to go out with me or meet me for coffee or beverage and get to know each other over it. so yes there more to a relationship then seen if and when to have sex with a woman. But that how I feel any way you may disgree with me and that ok too. | |
