I know of lot of people who say sex is overrated.
Lots of parenting moms go without sex due to raising a child...so busy and tired.

I think that depends on the woman.

I can't speak for everyone but I go without only because I'm exhausted. Or if he's pissed me off that day. Sometimes I'll be ready and waiting and them he'll do something so typical male and I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole.
Seriously, I'm pregnant so I want it like all the time, but when it's just normal, some weeks i want it a lot and others, 2 weeks could pass in a blur and i don't even realize that we haven't done it. My husband doesn't really let it go for THAT long but you know what i mean. Sex is very important, orgasm is VERY important and intimacy is very important. You can have one without the other but sometimes it's nice to incorporate all into one.

Sex used to be really important to me. I was involved in a relationship where sex was a big theme. The second I got too tired to have sex all of the time due to my pregnancy, he went out and had unprotected sex with multiple partners. Now, even though I wasn't the one sleeping around, I feel so dirty and violated that I find it impossible to have intimate relationships or even fantasize without crying. I'm never having sex again.

Well I don't have children. But sex is a very important aspect of a relationship to me. I think going without it is a bad sign for a relationship and I won't put up with going without it. If I was busy and tired I'd have to find a time to fit it in.

I think it all depends on the woman. I think having sex is normal and wanting sex is normal. If they dont feel the need there may be a lack of hormones. Also I understand the fact of being with the kids all day and I work on top of that so I am always tired and just am not in the mood. But when I get it, damn its good!!!

Personally, I think it is very important. But more important, is good sex with someone you care about.
I have had my share of reckless (but safe) one-nighters but I am married 8 yrs now and believe there still should be the intimacy we once shared in the beginning of our relationship. We are expecting baby #3 and yes, I am tired and hubby works almost 60 hour weeks so he is too, but it is very important to connect with each other. Afterall, sex is the thing that brought us these little bundles of energy, er, joy...

I hate to admit it but most of the time it is the farthest thing from my mind. My day starts at 5am and if I am lucky I finally get to bed by 11pm. I am exhausted and when I walk in our room the only thing I think about is the 6 hours sleep I can get before starting all over. It is important for a couple to be able to express their emotions and sex is the way to do it but for me cuddling up next to him is good enough most nights.

For me, right now...single, though pg. Its very important, I like sex.
But I can see myself completely refraining from sex to protect my child and giving her an example to live by. I really am wondering how it will all pan out...I'd like to find someone special, a partner, to share my life with....but it will not be at any cost to my child, thats for sure. I'd rather do w/out for the rest of my life than make wrong choices that could hurt me and/or her.

Women will try to answer this to you, but anything related to that is just way too complex for us guys to figure out. I'd just assume it is as important to them as we are horny for them and go on not understandig much, but sane.
At least they'll never understand why we get so excited with the sound of a V-8 reving it up...In the end it's all about hormons.

Different women, different perspectives...
Most of my friends that have had children, are extremely uninterested in sex, not just because they are exhausted from raising them, but they are not interested in having the birthing experience again right away.
I also have a couple of friends that have not had kids with lowered libidos as they age.
Fortunately, I do not suffer from either of these maladies, so it's MONDO IMPORTANTE to me...

I really depends on the woman , the age , what's going on in her life.when I was in my early 20's & 30's sex was really important , ( or I thought it was )no so important now.
