no. i dont htink so. then again ive never had sex and ive never been in love.
but i would think that love - a emotion would not have physical/sexual needs. i mean you feel love for some1. you might want to do it with them. but your love wouldnt be un-fullfilled or incomplete without it.

i'll assume we are talking about a romantic relationship...
I'd say no. there are people who continue to love and have good relationships together when they do not have sex, like when one partner becomes incapable for whatever reason physical or emotional. I think sex is a very powerful tool to communicate and express your love, but I dont think it is necessary when you have a bond you have a bond and that is more important than sex. sex is valuable in my opinion, sex is important , but I believe that love is stronger than sex. sex doesnt have to be about love at all, but when used as a tool of love it is very powerful but it is still just a tool, love can survive without it.
now, when both partners are capable and one desires sex and the other simply doesnt, it can cause problems in a relationship but I believe they can for the most part, be worked out. sexual desires are something that needs to be dealt with, and sexual issues I admit can be very damageing to a relationship but I believe this is usually because one partner may feel rejected , hurt by the others disinterest they may feel unloved and undesired, but when people can find harmony with eachother and work this out, then the relationship will only be stronger for having overcome theese obstacles. then again, sometimes people find they are mismatched and suited better for a different kind of love rather than a romantic relationship, and one sign of this can be conflicting sexual desires, but I believe that love is stronger than sex and that a couple does not need it to survive, while I acknowledge that sex is a very powerful thing

No. There are many forms of love. Even romantic love is not incomplete without sex. (Although I will agree it adds a nice dimension to it.)

No.
Sex is a function of the body to produce further bodies for the future continuation of the species. Love is not.
Only those who have an abnormal interest in sex and no understanding of love have sought to rationalise it by equating, and interchanging, sex with love. How and why this became so is a different answer to a different question.

Deep, profound, growing love is not incomplete without sex.

--There are actually 3 types of love that we practice, please note a commentary, along with the Greek words that express them:
*** it-2 p. 273 Love ***
A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a friend, for a parent or child, and so forth; warm fondness or liking for another; also, the benevolent affection of God for his creatures or the reverent affection due from them to God; also, the kindly affection properly expressed by God’s creatures toward one another; that strong or passionate affection for a person of the opposite sex that constitutes the emotional incentive to conjugal union. One of the synonyms for love is “devotion.”.......The Christian Greek Scriptures mainly employ forms of the words A GAPE', PHILI'A, and two words drawn from stor·ge′ (E'ROS, love between the sexes, not being used). A·ga′pe appears more frequently than the other terms.(that is in the Bible--my caps and comment)
--So then we could have Agape'-- principled love by itself by loving God, neighbor etc. and still be fulfilled if we did not marry and have storge'(sex)
--Then again we could have Agape' and have moral sex with our spouse, being that were married,--- but lets say we committ adultery--then love is tainted, adulterated and no longer is Agape' that we once expressed to our mate.

no. and sex isn't incomplete with out love. i dont think that the two should depend on eachother. because if you base having sex on whether or not your in love then the love will become all about sex...whether or not your in love enough to have it. im sure you can enjoy love withoout sex and sex wtihout love. but both can be nice too.

It depends on the kind of love you mean. There are all kinds of love, even all kinds of romantic love. But true, deep, committed love is not incomplete without sex - but it is slightly lacking. I feel that used correctly, sex can be the ultimate physical expression of love and without that there can still be deep love it is just lacking that facet of expression.

whilst couples grow previous, now and back because of fact of wellbeing reasons or disabilities, they're no longer able to have intercourse. yet, they nevertheless love one yet another greater desirable than ever. they have a definite bond because of fact of all their reports collectively. Their love isn't incomplete without intercourse.

Love and Sex are not one in the same since you don't need the other to be complete.
