For me, very important. Physical affection is one part of affection, and affection isn't complete without it.
Expect a different answer from everyone who answers.

I guess I'm a whore cuz it's very important for me. But sex isn't the ONLY thing about a relationship. If there is no communication, there can't even possibly be a good relationship. I've had a sexless marriage and it sucked HORRIBLY.......I've also had relationships where we didn't say hardly anything to each other but the sex was REALLY GOOD....That didn't work out either........but now??? The woman I'm dating now.......Last month I spent almost 4000 minutes talking to her on the phone......thank God for Sprint nights and weekends starting at 7pm......and she's the first woman I've EVER met that I can honestly say wears me out by Sunday mid-morning when she gets into town on Friday night.....Call me a freak but she satisfies me. The cool thing is.....when I'm with her and her kids......it doesn't matter that we can't have sex anywhere NEAR as often as when we're alone cuz we still talk as much in person with the kids around as we do on the phone. It's been an amazing ride and one that I will never forget even if it doesn't work out.

Sex is important between two person when it is given the right place in the relationship and is treated with respect for one another. Without this, sex becomes lust, is selfish and will not cause the relationship to grow. The relationship then becomes very tense and empty as there is no love or respect from the other party involved.
Sex, as ordained by God, is something beautiful to be shared between a husband and wife, resulting in two becoming one. There is a sense of fulfilment and selflessness as the two becomes intimately one.

Sex is an integral part of a union between two persons in love and of those who are bound by marriage. But it is not supposed to be the end all and be all of any relationship. It only plays a part, and besides there are more important stuff to think about rather than moping around because your sex life is too drab..there are bills to pay, kids to feed, deadlines to beat.But If you really love your partner, then it is a special bond that you should be able to take part in order to make each other happy and fulfilled relationship wise.

Pretty damn important.
There are those that wait until marriage before they have sex -or those that don't have much sexual experience prior to getting married. Most I've known that have done this are playing Russian roulette that their partner will have the same sexual interest or appetite that they have. Also, most I've known in this situation, sooner or later wonder what it will be like to be with someone else -- or be able to have the type or frequency of sex they want (vs what their partner is interested in). Those folks are more prone to look outside of the marriage to fulfill any sexual needs their partner is not fulfilling.
If you don't know if you're sexually compatible prior to marriage-- you are stuck with what you got after you walk down the isle !
Love is compatibility on Many levels -- Sex happens to be one of them.

After marriage, a couple will have time and emotional security to develop a good sexual relationship. Before marriage, sex may not be great due to feelings of guilt or insecurity.
Yes, sex is imprtan, very important, but it's not all that matters in a serious relationship.

it depends on how serious you are in your relationship..
you can be very serious without having sex and you can have sex but not serious right?
and of course depends to both of you..
but for a married couple it is important to deepen the relationship..

NO where near as important as communication. Sex is a pleasurable act enjoyed when everything else is okay in the relationship.
No communication=no relationship.

If you're so morally strapped by some religious fervor, well, you live by a different set of rules that sets you apart from natural human interaction.
But in a healthy long term relationship, one that involves a vow of marriage and monogamy, sexual relations are an important part of INTIMACY. And if you do not maintain a level of intimacy with your partner, you will wind up being roommates.
Either that, or you're both over 80, in which case you're lucky to remember what "it" was like. :-)

I think sex is very important. I can't have sex with my husband right now because of sickness I have had for about 2 years, so I try to give him "lovin" in other ways, lets just say my mouth hurts allot.

It is important but it is not the be-all and end-all of a relationship. It is just one of the basic ingredients towards a happy, harmonious and lasting relationship. Other factors have to be considered like trust, respect, understanding and sharing.
