I was having a conversation with a friend about sexuality and the
role it plays in a relationship.
Which one is strong and influential,
intimacy or love?
People would usually say love is stronger.
What about a relationship where people love each other, care about each other,
but there is no sex, sexual attraction and chemistry would that relationships
last? Some would argue that if you love each other, you will do what it
takes to please. What if you don't find your partner attractive because they
have gained weight? Or you never had sex before getting married and then
you find that his penis is too small or the sex only last two minutes and you
have never organism, but you love each other would that relationship still be
fulfilling?
What about a relationship that is founded
on sex? Would that last longer than the situation above? What if all you do is hook-up
and have sex is that a better situation? I personally think this scenario is
better than being in a relationship where there is no intimacy. However, given,
that there is sexual chemistry (where you know each other’s body inside and
out, you bodies are in sync), have a similar sex drive and you both extremely
attracted to one another. This relationship as more chance of developing into a
relationship than the other circumstance turning into a fulfilling relationship.
I think a lot of people underestimate the
importance of sex. What lead me to do this post is that I know a lot of people
that are in relationships, long term relationships, yet the women doesn't even
own any lingerie, or feel the need to own any, and the man always has to
initiate the sex. Is it then justified for a man to then cheat on the women if
he is hungry for a sexual connection?
