How important is sex?

Personally I could do it if I HAD to. Of course most of us prefer sex over not having it but i think that if we were already in a relationship and i loved this person then we could find other ways to be intimate with eachother! Its kind of cute in a way!

Sex is important in a healthy relationship but it's not the only thing that makes up a relationship there's also companionship, romance, Communication and mutual love for one another. I do understand how you feel but also try to see things from her shoes and how she might be feeling knowing that she's not satisfying you for as a lover, spouse or just plain other half in a relationship if it is healthy we all want to make the other person happy in any way we can so think about that, think about what dose make you happy in your relationship instead of what doesn't. I hope this helped you. GOOD LUCK!!!

With sex comes great responsibility, and if your not ready to handle the consequences of what sexual  contact creates physically as well as emotionally....then waiting until you have a committed partner vow to continue life with, may it be good or bad or in sickness and health...is the smartest decision you could have ever made.

If looks are important to you in a sexually intimate relationship, then they will be important to you if you plan to spend a lot of time in the marriage bed.  I have learned that people who say "I don't care what you look like" and have sex with you usually have very poor self images, and have had to deny a certain physical part of the relationship because of it.  I can feel the flack I am going to get by saying it, but it's what I truly think.  \n\nBUT there ARE people who genuinely don't give a crap about what a sexual partner looks like.  If you are one of those people, then of course it will not matter.  Problems can also arise if one of the spouse's appearances goes to pot, either after babies, or after too many beers.  This can kill the romance and the sexual part of the relationship, and that can be the undoing of a marriage.\n\nI know in my own sexuality, looks are important, and I am not afraid to admit it.  I don't need a model, but there are some things I need in a sexual relationship.  The pleasure I get from seeing someone naked is a big part of the pleasure I get through intimacy.  \n\nJust know yourself.  You can prioritize looks according to your own tastes.  People get into trouble when lying to themselves, and try to "pretend" or whatever.  Just be honest.  Some gay guys I know have to have a boyfriend with a six pack.  Some straight guys I know have to have a chick with D or bigger breasts.  People have preferences. D or bigger breasts turn me off, and a six pack looks good on paper, but there is a certain pleasure derived from utilizing your man stomach as a pillow. :)  You can't do that with 6 pack abs.\n\nFor regular friendships, I think looks have a low priority.  It is strange though how i notice groups of people, say 3 or 4 friends out at dinner, or lunch, and they all sort of look the same.  I'm not sure why this is.  If they are rather large, they hang with other large people.  If one has a leather jacket, 2 or 3 of the rest of them will too.  Hmmmmm....\n\nI can say one of the worst things is to get naked with someone, and then react negatively to what you see.  A lot of pain has been caused by this type of situation, so it is one I avoid like the plague.  ;) After all, we don't have "virtual sex" yet--we have sex with our bodies, and the form, fit, and function of the body will influence the sexually intimate experience.

Sex is the biggest NEED for a man.  Most men I know would have little trouble choosing between sex and a steak dinner.\nHaving said that sex is important, most men, whether they admit it or not, seek emotional connection THROUGH sex.  Most women seek emotional connection BEFORE sex.\nNow just having generalized, I don't think about it ALL the time.  And I can testify that it is possible for a guy to stay faithful.

Because it is an important aspect of life. Regarding your question, sex is meant to be the process of reproduction. An ongoing reproduction is one of the ways that a society will survive.

Sex is a fun, physical expression of what already exists in a relationship. Nowdays sex is blown out of proportion. It has become the main focus in relationships, instead of the bonus that you get with what you already have. \n\nI would say sex is abused in the world today instead of being appreciated as a really amazing experience with someone you want to get close to in heart, body and soul. Sex is important. If you go without sex for a long period of time, you should talk about it and work on your intimacy and communication. There could be underlying issues that need to be sorted out, or it could be something as simple as a change of scenery to spark things up. But it's also normal to have periods in between where you focus on other things. I think there must be a balance.

A steady relationship, if its a happy one, consists of many more things other than sex.  Nowadays we tend to focus a lot on sexual matters and to measure and judge people around us by this.  A happy relationship will have whatever is necessary to make it work, love, understanding, companionship, and ... ah yes, Sex!

Sex is okay, but somewhat empty without love. Lovemaking is AWESOME though!! When you make love with someone that you love, it is an experience of not just the body, but of the heart, mind and soul. It is complete. There is nothing like it in the world! =-)

No!  Love is so much more than sex.  It's emotional, spiritually.  It's unconditional.  Just spending time cuddling, walking in the park etc.  can be sufficient when you are truly in love.  Of course sex is part of a relationship, but not needed. (right away) Taking the time to know one another first is important.  And if you want to wait before you get married.  Even better.  If the person really loves you, they will feel the same way, understand and wait.....

I think that if having sex is required to bring the relationship close.... then that relationship is worthless anyway.\n\nAnyone who requires sex to prove that they are in a relationship needs to be dumped immediately.\n\nA relationship is WAY more than just sex....

It is intimate from the other person's point of view.  you should take care to make this clear before initiating sex as you're (not you personally but whoever does this) involving someone's mind as well as their body.  he/she deserves at least that much respect.

The best thing is to wait until you're married. Okay, enough on the parent speech. The most importantthing about sex is to learn what makes your partner happy. It changes from person to person so its not about what you know, its more about what you're willing to do in conjunction with what your personal likes are.
