Sex is so important, and it should be just as important to women as men. What is a really good sign of a relationship going down hill? Cessation of sex. It’s not just because we horny, we like to feel needed, we like to be intimate, and we like to know there’s a difference between us and the family dog.

If he’s like most men he’ll probably just pummel the goods for a couple minutes and fall asleep, so I don’t see why you are complaining.

Answer by Living the Dream
I’m a woman, and I say a good, healthy sex life is integral part of a good marriage, just like everything else you mentioned. Of course, sex is rarely mind-blowing at first, but as you learn each other, it just gets better and better. And I feel that an emotional connection is very important to good sex. How often doesn’t matter, as long as both partners are satisfied with how often.

Sex will have differing degrees of importance to different people. You’re right, a great relationship between two people who conncect on many different levels is what we all want to have…and how much sex and the quality of sex is something that each will have to decide for him/herself. The ideal, of course, is a great relationship plus great sex. So while sex may of variable importance, there’s no question but what great sex makes any relationship better.

Answer by everready
the human body has needs. one of them is sex. in marriage, it takes two to WORK on the marriage. the frequency of marrital sex is not as important as the “quality”( togetherness) since it also takes two to satisfy ( he satisfy her and she to satisfy him). if it is booring , then neither one knows what you are doing, or holding back emotions to stay in control. go to a store and get a book on sexual games, play role games. he is a photographer and you are the model. turn off the lights and have him snap pics while you undress in the dark……

I tested mine out to make sure she was ALL of that first otherwise why would i commit to a marriage?

She’s got to be loving, caring, friend, fun, sexy, and give good sex often or she’s not good enough for a long term relationship. Sex is a very important part of marriage. Without it, its a friendship.

Answer by *Astro*
I think sex is extremely important in a relationship – its not the MOST important, but it is way up there. I think frequency depends on what sort of person you are – alot of people like the touch of their partner, so enjoy sex on a more frequent basis.

While I have been with someone for over 5 years, and they aren’t crash hot in bed, it doesn’t tempt me to stray – but it would be great if it was better

Answer by RebeccaSJ
It’s the most intimate expression of love there is. That’s why it’s important to our relationship.

Answer by billyvision
For me sex is as important as any other aspect in a relationship. It doesn’t need to be every minute of every day, and it doesn’t need to be mind blowing every single time. But it’s certainly a very special way of getting intimate with someone I care for. Sex to me is as important a way of showing affection as sharing a home-cooked meal, going on a trip, or simply talking with my significant other. However, when there are long gaps between having sex with someone I’m with, then, yes, it begins to cause stress.

Answer by Bette
Very important.
If it isn’t great sexually, people would find sex somewhere else, which would kill the relationship.
