9. Very important
They say there is no such thing as "bad sex," but I don't agree.

To me, sex is the physical pleasing of the partner. Highly important!

Poison levels must be maintained. Get the poison out as frequently as possible. :D

8. I'll buy an 'A', and then solve the puzzle, Pat...
:rofl:

I'd say it'd be a reasonable factor, but the emotional bond means more.

11. Oh, very important indeed.
Frustration can build up and sabotage the relationship if both partners aren't happy in bed.

12. My dear Pushed To The Left!
It is VERY IMPORTANT!

Without it, marriages can, and do, fail...

Or at least they can find themselves in trouble...

Especially if the trouble has come up slowly, insidiously...

14. Non-issue.
I have a remarkable talent. I have never once in my life had less-than-amazing sex. I push people to do their best and then get better.

Anyhow, people who are otherwise compatible and not too emotionally fucked up can work things out on the mattress/shower/tabletop/floor/lawn front.

29. It's interesting....
how people will divulge their most personal aspects of their lives on an internet message board. To essentially total strangers.

I have completely given up on sexual relations entirely and forever.

22. I can't imagine it working otherwise.
In the past, it hasn't long term. Fortunately, I'm now married to a sensitive, kind man who is my best friend and can be a total freak when duty calls. We make each other feel normal when well, we aren't (and that's ok.)

23. You know
I used to think it was important. Now I just think it's deviant, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

27. I went with A, because to me, it's just a reflection of emotional compatibility.
Edited on Sun Oct-28-07 04:01 PM by BlueIris
I call people I'm sexually but not emotionally compatible with either a) one night stands, b) sex buddies or c) nice to look at. And that's it. No emotional compatibility = no relationship.

28. Very important
I've gone from a sexually unsatisfying and mostly sexless marriage to my current relationship where I am in perfect sync with my mate. We feel so comfortable with each other and the sex certainly makes our relationship even better. Yes, it is certainly not the most important part, but without it a relationship can fail. I basically left my marriage because of it (or lack of it).
