How important do you think sex is in a relationship?

Personally, I think it is the way of finding out if there are any problems in the relationship. Usually, if you and your partner are not having sex it's because there is a deeper problem in the relationship. It's a great indicator of things falling apart or things getting even better.



Do you agree that it is the ultimate expression of love, yet in today's society abused?How important do you think sex is in a relationship?affection is more important and communication. sex on its own is nothing. holding someone close in the darkness is wonderful, like you are the only two people in the world. warmth and tenderness is very importantHow important do you think sex is in a relationship?
It is the ultimate expression of deep feelings between two people that love and care for one another. Unfortunately it is used many times by one or both to express unhappiness or to get ones way. Many times parties forget about their partner and their needs and become lazy about things. When things go south they retreat more and more until things dissolve beyond repair. Open communication is the key. It takes much effort by both people in order to keep things fresh and exciting. It's about showing love to your partner in ways that they see and recognize, not just in ways that is easiest for a person to express. Sex can be a small part of a relationship when things are good and both people are satisfied. When someone feels neglected or is being denied then it becomes a huge issue that will ultimately effect all of the relationship. It's sad when two people love each other, but one of them refuses to satisfy the other because it isn't about them. A true loving relationship is about the partnership and satisfying each other to gain satisfaction as an individual. A long lasting relationship has no place for selfishness.How important do you think sex is in a relationship?It is very important but I don't agree it is always a sign of a deeper problem always. Believe it or not some people are just not into sex and can live without it. For some it is a physical thing and they just have a low sex drive. It could also be a sign of stress or some other outside the relationship issue. I also don't think it is the ultimate expression of love.There are many other things that can be the ultimate expression of love. I do enjoy a good sex life but I do know others who are very in love and have very little sex.
It IS the ultimate expression of love and abused in today's society.

To me, relationship's shouldn't be reliant on sex. You should communicate about your problems, not have sex to see if it's going well or not! If you can't be honest with each other, you're not in a strong enough relationship to even be thinking about sex really.



That's just me being old fashioned though.How important do you think sex is in a relationship?I think that sex is a part of a relationship, but a relationship doesn't depend on sex. becuase if a guy gets sex every day, then the guy will think he is going to get it every day for the rest of the time you guys are together, and once you stop then he is going to get pissed off and dump you. I think that sex should be in a relationship, but it shouldn't be all the time, and it shouldn't be just a f*ck and leave, do a little cuddling after. or something like thatHow important do you think sex is in a relationship?
It's not very important at all. Just because people in a relationship aren't having sex does not mean there are problems in that relationship. Sex is not the be all and end all of everything - sometimes relationships (and the people within them) evolve to be less traditionally "passionate" but no means any less loving and meaningful.
It depends on the people involved in the relationship.



For most people I know who are young it is the most important part.



Sex is supposed to be the ultimate expression of love (and it should be) but society today (in general) has cheapened it into being nothing more than just another way to feel good...How important do you think sex is in a relationship?
totally- now it's just "the thing" that everyone is doing. You shouldn't do it unless you love the person and could possibly see yourself having a child with that person.

Another reason for lack of sex in a relationship is having kids. I have 3 small children and I am exhausted at the end of the day and don't even want to. Twice a week is about average now. It's now the quantity it's the quality :)
yep

but if youve got kids it becomes an issue anyway

noise firstly

then tired from looking after them for the mother all day

and the father knackered from working all day

which is some ammount of stress last thing on your mind is sex

but a young couple whove no worries outside the four walls is

a major complication in the relationship

the ultimate expression of love(sex)not in todays society but has always been abused from the year dot im afraid to say mainly highlighted in the victorian era
My partner and I haven't properly had sex yet because I think he has performance anxiety. But I still care a great deal for him.

I do agree that it's an expression of love, but there are many other amazing ways to express love for someone. Sex can often complicate matters.
Sex in a relationship is the most important thing there is. My wife thinks it is the ultimate expression of love but my girlfriend isn't so sure !
i think it is important as it is a means to become more "intimate" or close with someones inner side...however this can be either good or bad..as it is like the hot area in the center..lol
You should never have sex while in a relationship....It's better to allow others to have sex with the person you are in love with....
I think it is important, it's what adds the passion into a relationship, arguably
If a relationship consists just of sex then it's sad because that would make them fxck buddies and nothing more.
Well, I've been in a 15 year relationship - and we only started getting physical 4 years ago.



Yes ladies and gentlemen, Im talking about my hand.
Very. It's one of the rawest expressions of certain emotional feelings.
No I don't agree, I think you can express love perfectly well without sex.
sex shouldn't determine the relationship
Sex is not important to a real relationship that is built on more things than just lustful thoughts,,
4-6 outta 10 is how important it is



and yeah most likely.
not very important. wait until marriage o.O
its not that important, if you dont have it often its easy to find it somewhere else
its both something you give and take but its only part of a relationship
Sex is great but in he end it is an emotional mine field.
sex is very important in a relationship... thats my answer.
Sex is just an option.
i think its important you show that you love each other
my wife minds when i have SEX with others ?
um just because I'm dating someone doesn't mean I'm obligated to have sex. If a man just wants sex he's not worth my time.
Sex is very important in a relationship. It's like the foundation.
