It should not be too important. A relationship that is too dependant on sex will have little or nothing to help a couple get through difficult times. One should address the issues creating stress instead of resorting to sex or sex substitutes to mask the problems. |

| Sometimes jinjin you sound too much like a marriage counsellor. I know too many people who have had problems because their sex life was crap. Working on fixing it is often a lot easier than fixing the resulting stress. |

I think sex is important in a relationship but it should not be the only thing and if for one reason or other sex is undesireable or impractical then a good relationship will still survive.
However I do think that physical closeness, holding hands, cuddles etc are essential. |

Sex is very important to men.
We put more value on the physical aspect of the relationship.
A lot of marriages fail when the woman no longer treats her husband like she did when she was the girlfriend!

Wah! Wah! Wah! Just as many fail when the man no longer treats her like he did when he was the boyfriend. Your attack on women is thinly disguised, hairy-back.  |

| Cambridge you make a very good point, obviously one that Fred would not agree with but that only confirms that you must be one the right track. |

If you're bothered about sex. I wreckon its about compatability. If you like it and need it ideally you need to be with someone who feels the same. Likewise if you're not that interested in it. |

I loved my husband from the first time I saw him...There is electricity between us...Sex is not everything, but it is the glue that binds us....It is in our eyes when we look at each other yet our life would not end without it...But it is so wonderful with it.....For us, sex is more enjoyable than anything we do.....And we do have many things to do.......

No.
See women have a lot more control of the relationship than men do.
And todays feminist woman now feels entitled not to have to be her husbands GF after she has finally reeled him in! |

I kind of agree with this. Sex shouldn't be the main structure of a relationship. Me and my boyfriend have sex at least once a day and not only is it enjoyable but it makes us feel close.
We would still be together even if we weren't able to have sex. Sex is just the icing on the cake!  |
