You’ve heard it before, “Relationships shouldn’t be all about sex.” While this may be true, many relationships end because of the lack of sex or “boring” sex.

So, how important is sex in a relationship? Have any of your relationships ever ended because of sex issues? If so, give an example.

Find someone who wants the same amount of sex you want in a relationship. it should help. some people are sex freaks while others are sex dailys to sex weekend warriors. good luck. p.s. guys love sex.

VERY VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT. Bad sex leads to frustrated people whose eye wander and usually bad things ensue. No matter how good of a person you are or how nice you treat me eventually I’m going to get to thinking that this person can be my friend instead of lover.

I think it's important, without it you may feel that your relationship is going no where. Sometimes you need it during a big argument, romantic moment, or when the two of you are just bord. LOL

I was just thinking about this subject! lol

i think the sex itself isn't so important as what it represents--affection, intimacy, commitment, attraction, chemistry--which are all essential to any relationship. if you look at sex as a by-product of these things, then that makes it very important.

...never had a relationship end because of sex issues, but i did have one relationship in which it seemed that all we had was sex, so it wasn't enough to keep us together. but i have known couples who split because someone wasn't keeping up the pace in the sack. know why? because something else was wrong and it was affecting the sex. so sex can sometimes also be an indicator of when bigger issues loom on the horizon. double brownie points for sex! yeah, i think it can be pretty important for those couples who are having it...

Good question. I think it's very important in strengthening the relationship. Feelings become stronger. In my last relationship, sex started getting less and less to no more. Come to find out, she was getting lots of it from many other dudes.
