How Important is Sex in a Relationship?

[Jesse]

This is not a question in general, but specifically to you. How important is sex to you in a relationship? Would you be boyfriend or girlfriend with someone that didn't want to have sex? Would you marry someone if they didn't want to have sex?

Would you go out or marry someone if they only wanted to have sex every 6 months?

i haven't had sex yet, so i'm not sure what my opinion is on this ;.;

[edgecrusher]

i havent had sex yet either. but i would like to experience it eventually so if they didnt ever want to that wouldnt work for me.

lol this question made me think of my guy. he almost never wants to have sex, even though I try. he's come to call me the Night Rapist because if i can't get him to do me in the day.. hey he's got to sleep sometime but i have a high sex drive, so my answer is no if there was no way i could get some i'd wouldn't be with them. But then again I wouldn't let the relationship get that far.

Not important at all. I'd prefer to be with someone who didn't want or need sex. Yes, I'm asexual.

A bf who didn't want to have sex? Maybe.
A husband who didnt? No.
Now, you said "didnt want to" not can't, right? "Can't" might get a different response here.
I might could live with the twice a year thing, if there was a good enough reason.
So, I guess sex is fairly important to me. For most couples who genuinely care for one another, I feel that the intimacy from sex brings them closer together. Or at least that's true in my case anyways. :p I guess everyone is different.

Yep, i am still a virgin but i do think that sex is the ultimate display of affection if its with someone you truely adore. If its just sex for sex sake then its pretty meaningless, i generally wouldnt do that.

Sex is important to me. I wouldn't walk away from someone I loved because they became unable too but I'd damned well look for a cure, treatment or creative alternatives...

But I do know of a couple who've been together for a number of years and they chose to be completely celibate...

Different strokes for different folks...Whatever works...

...Different strokes for different folks...

lol... Answering the OP instead of making immature jokes... yeah, I'd kind of find it hard (ahem) in a relationship that didn't involve sex. ... it's a VERY intimate act, and it sort of acts as an intimate bonding ritual.

If it was a woman I truly adored, then I would happily abandon sex if she never wanted it. I would want lots of kisses and cuddles, though.

That is not to say I do not enjoy sex. Quite the opposite. If the woman I adored enjoyed sex, then I will happily rut like a hog.
