 I view sex as being a big part of a loving relationship but no more than caring, compatibility, and friendship. It's like baking a cake. You need all of the right ingredients to be successful. Sex is like the icing on the cake. Your relationship might be O.K. without it, but it sure makes it a lot sweeter. LOL.

 I remember this old line I read somewhere "Show me the most beautiful woman in the world and I will show you a guy who is tired of sleeping with her" basically, if sex is the top priority and not much else, then eventually, the two people will lose interest. I would say its important but definitely not the top priority. A bad sex life can be improved. Other aspects cant so I think they should be more importans

 There are alot of things that contribute to making a relationship work. I would say that sex does play an important role in making a relationship work, however i woulden't say its a top priority. Companianship, compatability, showing respect,and love are important. Get these things estabilished first then a good sex life can follow.
Good luck x

 Hi Anon. I guess it depends on the guy. For me sex is important. I was in a very “comfortable” relationship for many years, we shared everything but the sex in the last 7 years was non existent which made me feel unfulfilled and I could see she was not happy either. It's almost like living with your sister except you share the same bed! I was sexually frustrated and started playing around eventually having a full blown affair which lasted 5 years. When that ended I took a good look at the relationship and decided to call it a day. Some girl friends have told me that they only cheated on their partners because the sex life was not satisfying so it seems to be the same for women and men. If your partner has a high sex drive then it will be important if not maybe not but I do think a healthy sex life is conducive to an intimate and loving relationship. Hope this helps. Take care.

A fulfilling sex life, for me anyway, is nowhere near as important as companionship or compatibility.
To me, establishing the emotional side of the relationship is what should take top priority. Once that's there, the physical side will take care of itself in time.
