Don't think I'm trying to be philosophical, but I compare your question to a Roman Candle. At first it light up and is very bright and beautiful. Then it just fades away. Sex without love can be the same way. At first it can be exciting, great, fantastic and just great. But eventually, without love it will end. Either boredom, jealousy or another person will take your place. Have fun while it lasts, but at least know that its only a matter of time until its over. If you can live with that, then more power to you.

A relationship cannot work without love, in fact without love, I wouldn't even call it a relationship. A relationship is not only based on physical or sexual attraction and activity (while important), it is based on emotional and mental connection as well.
Two people in a true relationship not only feel a physical attraction, but are interested in each other's interests and see this person as possibly the one they could spend the rest of their life with. They are interested in each other's opinions, thoughts, and their connection is on a deep level. They are interested in each other's dreams and future and the prospect of bringing children (a true product of their love) into the world.
The reason why so many "relationships" and marriages do not work is that the people place too much emphasis on the physical and not the emotional. No matter how great looking or great in bed someone is, it does not last forever, we all get old and we all change physically. True love is based on respect and connection and survives challenges (what if your partner had an accident or medical condition and was not be the same physically anymore?)
While sex is great and wonderful, I would not call just a physical pairing a relationship. Basically it is "friends with Benefits". It feels great and it is a good time, but what else is there to build on and what happens when it is no longer great?
It may sound strange to hear it from a guy who loves sex as much as the next person, but no relationship can work on just sex. And it is that much better with love included.

Although the physical aspect of a relationship is important, it CAN'T be the sole base of the relationship. It may be satisfying at first but without love, it will eventually become mechanical and routine.
Remember that lovemaking is one of the strongest forms of communication. If you choose to personal physical satisfaction be prepared to be to handle any emotional baggage that may come from it.

If they're satisfying you in the right way ...
You still LOVE them for their physical relationship you have together !
You don't have to be in love with the person to be satisfied in the bed. There's just a lot more love, compassion, respect, affection, consideration and flat out a lot more fun when you love the person you're having sex with.

Love is important for the long term relationship. Just think of spending the rest of your life with someone that you don't love??? But relationships are good with just sex too. I have lots of friends that I would like to do it with but don't want to get married to. As long as you go into it with an open mind and have realistic expectations.

Depends on what kind of relationship you want. If you are looking for a having future together kind of relationship than no you need love as well as sexual satisfaction. If you are looking for a friends with benefits kind of relationship than yes.

It all depends on the people some people do not feel satisfied without love but some people are just happy to have great sex with or without love. there is no right or wrong answer to this question it is all about the people.

when you're young totally sex without strings is a BEAUTIFUL thing. there isn't the mess of a relationship, the constant need to be coddled, and reassured, it's just hardcore, i don't give two ***** about you sex.
the older you get the less important it is, but for now, it's just fun. love will come when it's time until then why not have fun?

No.....I think you have to love the person for the relationship to actually work. Being with a person that you dont love will eventually become a drag.

Love is really important, beauty. Without it, then we're no better than animals acting on instinct. Without it, the relationship has no foundation, and will crumble with the first earthquake.
