If the answer was "sex", what would you think?
Sorry about the 2 points of view, but think of it from both sides, as questioner and responder.

Someone asked my take on it.
I asked this question of someone who wants to have a relationship with me. His answer convinced me that he would just be using me to fulfil his own needs until something better comes along. I told him I would rather be friends. I have a lot of love to give to my friends, so why spoil it?

More IMPORTANT? Love by a landslide! Sex without love is, well, sex and pretty common and easy to get. Love, on the other hand, is unique, special and hard to come by or keep. Love will weather storms, overcome all odds, wrap you up in your own special cocoon. Sex will satisfy only the most basic need, which is gratify, either oneself or another. Sex will not weather any storms, will not wrap you up in your own special cocoon and will overcome nothing but where and when. Love without sex, depends on the relationship. Since sex is really not used in all love relationships, such as a Mother's love for her child, a child's love for its parents, the love of your life, your soulmate might be a sexual love, but if you only included the sexual aspect, would you say "he was the sexual love of my life"? NO! You say "He was the love of my life". While sex and love can be separated, sex without love is really worth very little, and love with sex is worth more money than you will ever have! And who can discount the love of ones Mother? A good Mothers love can overcome a lot of shortcomings in a childs life. Ok, so now you have my 2 cents worth of whats more important to me. Good question!

For me the most important thing is love and if I ask the question to my partner and she says "sex" then I will definately dump her and never talk to her again until she understands what's the real meaning of being into a relationship.
I'm not saying this because sex is not important in a relationship but I think that the relationship will have no power at all if there's no love. In my opinion sex will be done a lot better when there's love because sex is one of the many ways how to show your partner that you love him/her but it's not everything either.

Love. Sex without love is meaningless it leaves you feeling dirty because you do it for the money (think about the prostitutes). Sex done with love between two people is very intimate, loving, special and it can always be remembered.
Ok I don't think I answered the question but I'm not going to delete cause I like the answer.
Love is more important than sex because through love you grow, mentally, emotionally you physically become a stronger person (don't forget love is a challenging journey) through the fights, laughter, happiness, quarells and so forth. But without love sex would be useless so which is more important? Love.

****LOVE, LOVE, and Love is the answer for me!****
Now with that been said. in a relationship both are important. It is hard to have love and not have the sex too.
Here is an example, You partner is ill( not a cold or flu.. longtime illness) and unable to have sex. You however, are not ill and are wanting and needing sex. You do love each other, but lack of sex is creating problems.
Unconditional love seems to last and last ,and will get you thu the tough times, the no job times, illness,no money times,and even the no sex times.
Do I sound like I have been there? I have been there and I am in my 10th year in my relationship!
*****Love is more important for me!*****

My answer would have to be love.Without love all that sex is,is an empty,unfulfilling act.Lot"s of peolpe who just indulge in casual sex really enjoy the moment but are often left with the question in mind of"what have i done?Was it worth it?Sex (love making)between two people who truly love each other is one of the most beautiful things known to man.

Sex is temporary where the love of a good person is for always. (hopefully) If anyone says that sex is more important.....I feel sorry for them because that can only mean that they've never had true love in their life.

Love for sure!!
You can be in love with someone without having sex with them.
You can have sex without being in love with someone.
But, for sure love is the feeling which lasts way, way longer, if we're really lucky we can love and be loved by someone forever.......No, I'm not a soppy woman or a touchy-feely sort of man, but, I know who good it feels to be loved!!

Love......sex is important but true love is amazing....the most wonderful thing is true love and good sex...but if I had to choose, I would choose love.....to know that someone is always there.....thinking about you, caring for you....sharing the good and the bad with you....helping you and you helping them through this thing we call life.....

love, it's so much more complete, and more satisfying than sex could ever be...and if someone said sex, I would think that they had some bad experiences with love, were immature, or afraid of love
