Q: Is Sex Important?

Thought I would try posting this in other areas to get other input. Any input might help save me from argueing so much about this topic with the bf.

Just curious ladies or men on some of your thoughts.

Is sex important to maintain a healthy relationship? Why or why not?

My bf seems to think it isn't and of course I do. I see it as not so much the intercourse but being more of the feeling needed, wanted, the intamacy you know ect..

So maybe if I get some input from others I can show him that it is not just me wanting just the "sex" there are reasons behind it. It has been 2 months since the last time we had sex. He is on meds that take the want for sex away.

Your inputs would be greatly appreciated because I am about to go crazy and we argue about it all the time.

is he able to have sex. a lot of men put off the importance of a healthy sexual relationship because they are having difficulty performing or have anxiety about performance.

does he have night time erections? does he get spontaneous erections?

I think you're absolutely right, Heather. It's not the intercourse itself, it's about feeling wanted and sexy. My husband and I typically go at least a month without sex and that would be no problem if he just made me FEEL like he wanted to have sex with me. If he doesn't have much a sex drive he should at least tell you how good you look every so often and maybe you guys could just fool around. He should still take care of your needs. Preach on sister!!

i think it is. However, i must say that's it's not an indication that if you have a lot of sex, it would translate into a healthy relationship. there are other things that would make a relationship stronger. But sex is one of them. Intimacy and feeling wanted, like you said is what sex is all about and should not be pure phsical. If you feel the latter, then there is a problem . . .

Yup sex is important in order to have a healthy relationship were you feel fullfilled. Me and my guy have been together for 7mnths but we still go at it like rabbits lol. He was telling me he's never had a relationship were hes felt like he's making love. Or had rough sex and kinky sex and romance all rolled into one. And he's had way more experiance than I have. (he was sexually active since he was 14) so I'm proud I give him that.

And its true that just cause you have a lot of sex doesn't mean your relationships healthy. It could just be that his medication is causing his libido to wane. My depo shot for birthcontrol used to do that to me

Whether or not it is important depends on where people are in their relationship and the myrdiad variables that come into play in an individual. To ask if sex is important to a healthy relationship is simply too simplistic.
