Is sex important in a relationship? and Why?

Answer 1

Of course it is,in a serious relationship...
Do it and you will see why...

Answer 2

Sex is important in a relationship, but not the most important. We each have five bodies to consider, Soul, Mental, Causal, Emotional, and Physical. Go figure, ten bodies in each relationship. Connecting on a Soul level, i.e. genuine love comes first. Each of the bodies have needs, each of those needs deserve some attention as to whether it's appropriate to meet those needs through the relationship or by another means. Also consider that each of the bodies affect and are affected by the others. For instance, a woman opens up physically with an emotional connection, while a man opens up emotionally with a physical connection. It gets complicated because we are complicated beings, but to answer your question, yes, sex is important in a relationship. You wouldn't want her going somewhere else to satisfy her physical body's sexual needs, would you? Above and beyond all that, sex is the most beautiful and sacred way to express love between a man and a woman. It has a depth and meaning that goes WAY beyond just the physical act.

Answer 3

Yes. Physical intimacy is important to all close relationships. Depending on the level of closeness in the relationship it could be making out, cuddling, mutual masturbation, or intercourse. Intimacy is important...

Sex is a line that once crossed it's very, very hard to cross back. Once you've had sex with someone you can't substitute "lesser" forms of intimacy for long. It's not that people expect sex, but it's a way of showing feelings and emotional closeness. Once the relationship has been expressed in that way, nothing else really matches it.

Yes, sex is important in a relationship.

Answer 4

Early in a relationship, sex isn't as important as getting to know the other person; and them getting to know you. Later on, when you have established commonalities and likes and dislikes, sex can be quite important. What he/she likes and dislikes about sex generally, is quite helpful to guide you both. If you've never had sex before, take things slowly and if possible read some books. Don't rely on what other people tell you is great for them. Everyone is different in their likes and dislikes. Sex is great.

Answer 5

No. Affection however is. Sex is or was rather meant to be the top level a relationship could reach, a joining of man and woman, if you will. When it happens before marriage, the man and woman have no real commitments and it just leads to heartache. I say when the relationship is ready then get married, sex will come with that.

Answer 6

I don't think sex is important in a relationship at all because you want to make sure you really love someone before you give yourself into it.

Answer 7

It depends on the point in the relationship you're at. Early on, it's not so important, because you're still getting to know each other, figure out whether or not things are going to work out. Later on, it is important because it's one of the main ways to share yourself with your partner. That intimacy is essential for any successful relationship.

Answer 8

Sex is nothing more than a biological function. You can perform it alone or with a partner. It can be almost a religious experience or it can just for grins. Sex does not equate to love in most cases.
