Sex Or Love? What Makes Relationship Work?

[grassroots]

its a balance of both

mahirap naman kung puro love or puro sex lang

[orionquest]

love comes first. let me clarify its not sex when youre doing it with a person who you love. its lovemaking. (cheesy)

I think for a relationship to work, it must have an equal dose of both sex and love.

 

I know of some people who cheat on their partner because although they're in love, they are sexually incompatible. Their primal urge is suppressed and so they look for another person to fill that gap. It's instinctive, just like you would want to drink when you're thirsty.

 

Conversely, I know of some people whose sex life is great, but whose love life is in shambles. One time the woman told me that yes she enjoys the sex part, but deep inside she longs for tenderness from her man. She doesn't want to be treated as a sex object, but a woman in the fullest sense of the word--cooked for, treated to dinners, given attention, massaged, etc.

 

As I posted in another thread, sex is good while you're young. But when you get old, you don't have to put it in just to share a heartbeat or a good time together. There must be something other than sex which the two of you can enjoy and build on.

 

Sex is a primal urge, while love is a mark of sophistication. Both are necessary. Neither one is more useful than the other.

 

But of course it varies from person to person. Know yourself as a person well, including your needs, before you enter a relationship.

it should be both..kasi kung puro love lang di pde our body needs sex that's y we have sex organs magcacancer kapag di nagrelease..plus it's a good exercise..kung puro sex lang magkakasawaan dapat may emotional attachment para mas masarap ang sex..tsaka u can have sex anywhere at any given time pero ang love minsan lang yan..kaya dapat both.

Communication, Honesty and Sex......Combine all three and you have True Love...........In short all you need is TRUE LOVE............

[Miss Zelda]

friendship last longer to either. Sex hasn't happened so Love is secondary, since you accepted each other's differences and compromised both your idealistic stances. Sex is the the creme de la creme.

love builds a relationship

sex spices it up and make it stronger

[veinshard]

for me --- 50/50

for my gf (before) 90 - love/10 - sex

(now) she goes 50/50

(Not to break the fourth wall here, but I bet you most of the people here just gloss over the other posts and just jump to sharing their opinions. Like me! Haha!)

 

Sex is just one part of a relationship, but it is very important. After all, how can you be a good partner in the sack if you can't communicate properly with your partner?

 

And a question to all: what if you and your BF/GF's libidos were misaligned? i.e. What if you need sex more than your partner does and he/she can't meet your needs?
