Is sex important to you?

[flobadob]

A survey in Ireland recently showed that 46% of people consider sex important in a relationship. I'd have thought it would be much higher.

My question is would you stay in a relationship with your if they said they did not want to have sex with you anymore?

Sex between two people can be a fantastic thing ............






















As long as you can get between the right two people!

If i still had a high sex drive then no i dont think i could stay with a partner who didn't want sex with me anymore as i would be too frustrated and life is too short to be unhappy.

if i really loved her and had a nice home and family and she didn't want sex anymore but was prepared to let me go elsewhere for sex then yes id stay with her.

i think sex is great but life sometimes gets in the way stress tiredness etc.i think its better to b able to go without sex in a relationship and still be happy together than have a great sex life but be miserable the rest of the time.as long as both parties are happy going without sex is no problem

gucciman has said it perfectly. If she is happy in a sexless marriage, she shouldn't expect ME to go without sex and that is why brothels, massage parlours and internet dating are blossoming. Before you accuse me of being a male chauvinist, which incidentally i am, it is VERY common to see on internet dating profiles of married women, that the love their husband and children, but he is not interested in sex and that she (the wife) is seeking excitement leading to no strings atttached sex.
Sex in a marriage is not important, it is ESSENTIAL.

no i wouldn't

Sex is important, but not the most important thing. If a couple are both equally happy with how often/how little they have sex, that's fine. It becomes an issue when one is more/less keen on it than the other.

I would rather go without than have bad sex or sex for the wrong reason. It's more the intimacy thing that is important, mostly for women anyway.

But, I have had good sex, I have had bad sex. I know which I prefer..... ;-)

[sqad617]

Sallabananas....I accept and respect your feelings. But in a unilateral sexless marriage or partnership, the saying "any port in a storm" comes to mind. If you are satisfied being in a sexless reationship then fine, no sex IS better than "bad sex" but I would guess that that situation is in the minority--------only a guess as I only hav aecdotes t back that up plus of course what I mentioned on m previous reply.

Yes, for my kids' sake I would, despite being a randy chap.
