The importance of Sex

How Important Is Sex in Relationships

Sex is an important aspect of romantic relationships, impacting emotional intimacy and satisfaction. However, its significance varies for each person. A lack of sexual fulfillment may lead to curiosity or attraction elsewhere if other needs are unmet. Communicating openly about sexual needs can help maintain a healthy and satisfying relationship.

Depends on the intensity of your love for your man. Sex is very very important. But if he loves you ad you him, and if the lack of sex is due to other factors like ill health, stress, family problems etc. as Afrasileira mentioned, then you can suppress those intense feelings and channelise them to some worthy course of action and pour all your passion and drive into it, and do something great....alll the while being loyal to your man.

To me sex is a part of life like breathing. If I'm with a man that can't perform because I have my period or he has the sniffles, well, I do lose interest. Sex is more than sex. It's the essence of 2 beings. Some are more lax in the bedroom. But, I need someone that is above and beyond my call of duty. Someone that calls ME the lazy one! That's a challenge I will always take!

Imo, I think sex is not everything but a big part of a relationship. Communicate and express to him what you feel. If he still wont, then maybe I would deal with this as long as I could but I feel in a relationship two people should be willing to try new things sometime. I wouldn't just settle and except because you deserve to be happy in every way. I'm sure this would get frustrating. My scorp and I seem to find a middle ground and it works for the both of us.

Well all love and emotions aside (new relationship, not speaking the L word yet), I am the one who is more than satisfied with the sex, but I feel my Scorpio is disappointed in my lack of...um.. lets say adventurous spirit. We have discussed some of the things I do not feel comfy with, or have no desire to do and he reluctantly accepts it and tells me it's ok, but I am left wondering if he is eventually going to tire of what he is getting and want to wander to greener pastures so to speak.

"if the guy comes into bed carrying a goat and wants a threesome - are you inhibited for saying NO——"

Good Point.

The thing is there is a world of things I will do, and only a select few things I won't, it just happens that some of those select few are things he wants. He seems happy with sex in general and we both want to continue to explore our options in bed with eachother, we just keep returning to this little snag and it really concernes me that it will turn into a huge problem eventually.

OK can I be blunt... are there positions that you don't like; do you not want to engage in oral sex; is it that you don't like the lights on, or are we talking threesomes, animals, and other extreme activities?

If it's positional or a personal hang up of yours that he wants to get past, then you should think about it. HOWEVER if it's something that seriously goes completely out there, then it's his issues that we should worry about.

Are we talking light bondage or are we talking gagging to unconscienceness bad porn movie sex?

I don't doubt he should be pleasing me, and he does, more than previous men have, but I am also a 50/50 person and want to make sure I am returning the favor. I think thats why this is bothering me. He actually does his job compared to other men I have had and now I feel like I am the one falling short because I am denying him by setting up my boundaries.

I just wonder with him being a scorpio and all if being denied certain sexual pleasures is something he can deal with.

"while we're on a Cancer trip....do you reaaly hurt for a long time after a break up—
and what about a second smackdown,depending on if you'e still a parasite —?"

depends on how attached i am to the woman in question. if it's a casual thing, i can brush it off no problem. if i "love" her, then there's going to be a long healing process. what do you mean "second smackdown?" as in by the same person? it's more complicated... depends on why we broke up, where i am in my healing process... but generally i don't date someone again after after a break up. too many painful memories, and i kind of shut down emotionally towards that person.

Even air turns me on so yes I would say sex is important..But sex only with someone I have committed myself wholly to and for the long haul..It needs to be intense..an out of body experience..I feel saddened when it isn't..I feel as though something is missing and that empty feeling is horrid..makes me feel cheap


for some reason, i agree 210% on this..i thought i was the only one thinking like this: the problem is.. men sometimes see sex as "a casual thing", and for us it's so much more..it has to have the ingredience of pure intense love with fireworks (or something close to it)
