People in Relationships..or Married Couples..Question to you all..
 

How important is Sex in your Relationship. I have my views on it and I think it's very important in a Relationship, I think it's up there with Communications, so I think its about 50% - 60% of a Relationship. I just can't see a good Relationship without good sex.

Some of my friends thought it was a lot lower.

What do you guys think?
Would love to hear it from some of you to see if my belief is accurate.

Thanks,

Very important to men..not so much with women.

Essential.

Bull!! I have fucked more than my share of married women. ( when I was younger with only a scruple or two)

Here's a tip: If your girl is coming to Vegas for some get-away-time with her "girlfriends". Break up with her when she gets back.

30-40%...

........ :Oh crap

But I have found that women want to make sure their men is please so they dont' feel like they are lacking it at home and don't need to go out somewhere else to get it.

If two people are still attracted to each other and spark each other up, that is their time out for a bit to forget about all their other small problems and have some bonding time with each other.

not so much important to me anymore

I spent most of my life up until I was 26 or so being involved with swingers parties, fucking 2-3 girls a week while working in clubs, then on to the porn industry where I had sex with my wife on camera every other day while 20 people watched

i have had enough sex to fill 4 normal guys lifetimes....it really doesn't run my mind like it used to

communication is the most important thing in my marriage, and we are very good about it

It probably changes in importance as one gets older. For a young man, it's way up there.

That is part of the commitment you made for each other.

Riiight..... My wife might tell you otherwise.

75% and the other 25% that is mental is just a tool.
We use it to get the sex part working correctly and to function in society...

sex = 30%
common interests = 30%
conversation = 30%
leaving me the fuck alone from time to time = 10%

it is 99% of the Relationship if it's bad or just doesn't work and %40 if it does

Sex is very important. It's not the basement of your relationship (such as love, respect, understanding) but it's definitely one of the corner stones. Sex and passion make your love strong. The more sex you have the better for your relationship. Make sure your wife is satisfied (sexually) and you're gonna me a happy man. A woman can forgive many things (poverty, cheating, humiliation) but will never forgive you if you don't want her. So, dudes, fuck your honeys hard and often and be happy :winkwink:

SEx is a positive experience for the wholeness of the body and strengthening of a relationship..

If my gf dont want sex, I respect that! There are much more important things! But, nothing is better than sex, so the more the marrier

Sex is certainly not the foundation of a relationship, but it is one of the pieces of the puzzle that when fit together with all of the other pieces, make for a relationship.

How important it is changes, and couples that love each other go with the ebb and flow of it. Stress at work can make one partners sexual desires go down, newborns at home, hectic schedules...sex lives evolve over the course of a relationship and sex can go from being the most important thing, to being the least and then move back up the scale at another point in time

I'd second that, sex isn't everything, but a realtionship is nothing without good sex, 50% looks realistic.

I cheated my ex girlfriend like two dozen times, we broke up after 3 years, now I'm happy with a girl for 3 years without even once thinking about cheating her. A certain quality and quantity is necessary, less leads to the slow death of a relationship, no matter how much love is involved, no matter how good you communicate.

Very important but it is just as important to be understanding of each other and know that there are going to be times when things slow down due to external forces. It is important to know that both sides would want to if they could at the times when it isn't happening.

I also think it is rubbish that it doesn't matter to women. Most men that think that are the types that don't know if their partner has a climax or not.

Sex is important in a healthy relationship.

But without communication you have nothing.

My wife and I are not just a married couple, we are friends. I enjoy hanging out with her. If I didn't my life might suck like some married guys I know.

Thanks Everyone, some good answers here that make a lot of sense.

Rubbish! I think that it is just as important as he does!!!!!

Everyone has different priority levels, but I'd say on an intimacy sex is pretty high. If there are any cracks or mistrust or resentment in the relationship, it will probably show up during your sexual encounters first.

I'm sorry to see how shallow some replies have been. "A relationship is nothing without good sex" Maybe for you. What if you lost your wanker in an accident, would you tell your wife of 20 years to divorce you? Could you say bye bye to the love of your life if he or she couldn't preform? This question is entirely subjective to the age, gender, health, commitment level and love you have for the other person.

a relationship can only function at the level of intelligence, commitment and honesty of the participants . . no more no less . . . like any society, however in microcosm. water seeks it's own level . . .

i.e.: stupid people have stupid problem :2 cents:

it is as equal as communication

Mr. Romance

Ummmm yeah. Thats totally 100% not true, and if the women you are with are telling you that .... they are lying, and you are doing something wrong LOL

Sex is important ... while not being THE MOST important thing in a relationship, anyone who tells you it isnt important is lying or castrated ....

twinkley

WRONG!

it's the other way around.

Same here.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Sex is very important in a relationship! It's just as important as having great communication! I enjoy both, and with great communication comes great sex IMO :) Sex it up as much as you can, I say!

sex= maybe 1 hour a day.
Then you're spending 23 hours a day every day for the rest of your life with this person. Great sex, not that important. Having a best friend that you know has got your back, will be there for you through everything, share & work towards common goals in business AND life & great communications = VERY important.

Very important to both of us. But with a son, it gets tuff.

quite interesting thread

I found as I got older sex just isn't that important anymore
sure still need to have it but no where nears as often.
now the problem comes from having a much younger wife who is still gung ho for constant sex, and to her it was very important, needless to say we are not married anymore.

hmmm.. its very important!, good sex should always there for me and for some of the couples i know, but some its not really that biggie.

Agree. Just as important to women.

at least 60%. Unless your not interested in the person.

My wife and I spend most time in bed talking total bollocks and laughing. We have always had a great time with each other as the main aspect of our relationship. Sex is not even as important as taking the kids to the park.

We still have great sex though!

From a girl’s point of view I think it is important to have balance in your relationship. Yes communication and consideration to one another is way up there but sex is also a mean to connect with your partner and show them how you feel towards them. I totally agree that with time the energy of having sex often decreases especially if you have kids but the desire will always be there.

sex : 30%
laughing together: 30%
having each others back : 30%
"I'm right......she's right spats: 10%


Putting any and all of the above aside to make sure our kids have everything they need, a loving home, great education, security if we go, and a real belief that mom and dad are there for them no matter what...........100%

(sorry, sappy dad)

Sex is very important in a strong, well-rounded relationship.. It's a way for a couple to help strengthen their bonds, connect on an intimate level and share mutual pleasure. Those who don't think sex is important in a relationship either are fooling themselves or they're getting it somewhere else.

Its important, but sometimes it needs to be just sexual time. Not always just sex.

Spend time every day touching the other in some sort of sexual way, and you will have a much better relationship.

Sex = 70%

Pretending to listen to her talk about her day = 30%

not married or in a relationship, but when i was, sex isnt everything, but plays a major role in a healthy relationship, same with communication, trust, being honest.

hehehe my wife would divorce me if we didnt have the "I'm right.........she's right spats"

it's honestly not that big of a deal to me. i would much rather have an awesome relationship with minimal sex as opposed to a shitty relationship with lots of it. besides, why would i want to sleep with someone who i secretly think is an asshole in an on-going relationship (fine for a one night stand but to have to spend time with them outside of the bedroom would drive me up the wall)? :) as a result, the most important things (to me) in a relationship are: loyalty, faith, kindness, empathy, sensitivity, trust, etc. the more intimate parts of a relationship are definitely enjoyable and desirable but not so much without awesome non-intimate aspects.

Truth alert.

Good sex is probably overrated but sex is very important for the above reason and that guys want it a lot.
