Is sex the only thing that matters in a relationship

Is sex the only thing that matters in a relationship

Sex is the most important thing in any relationship. We know this because we’ve all heard it over and over again, right? Well, yeah! But there are other things that matter more than just sex. In fact, if you’re not getting those other things right–intimacy and commitment–then your relationship might not last very long at all!

What matters most in a relationship isn’t sex.

  • In a relationship, you’re not just attracted to someone because they’re hot.
  • You’ll find that your partner’s personality, interests, and values matter more than anything else.

Sex is just one part of a relationship, and it’s not the most important part.

It is important, but it’s not the most important thing. Sex is a part of a relationship and it’s not the most important part.

You can have sex with someone you don’t like or who doesn’t make you feel good about yourself. You can also have sex with someone who makes you feel terrible about yourself, but they’re still in your life because they need to use their body parts on your body parts in order for them both (or whomever) to survive and be happy together.

Sexual attraction is the first thing to go when there’s no intimacy in your relationship.

You may be surprised to learn that sexual attraction isn’t the only force in a relationship. It’s actually just one of them.

The other forces include trust, commitment and intimacy (but not necessarily all three together). These are things that can be lost if you’ve been having sex with someone for too long without any development in your relationship or growth as individuals.

Intimacy doesn’t just mean sex. It’s about feeling connected with your partner in a way that can’t be defined by sex alone.

Intimacy doesn’t just mean sex. It’s about feeling connected with your partner in a way that can’t be defined by sex alone.

Intimacy is an ongoing process—one that requires time, patience, and commitment on both parts. It’s also the place where you feel understood and cared for, which makes it worth the work!

Intimacy is about feeling understood, cared for, and loved. It takes work, but it’s worth it.

Conclusion

So there you have it, the top four reasons why sex shouldn’t be the only thing that counts in a relationship. You might think I’m being too hard on sex, but I believe that it shouldn’t be the end-all, be-all of our relationships. Sometimes when we become so obsessed with sex, we forget about all of the other important things that go along with it—and maybe even some of the things (like intimacy) that don’t involve any form of physical contact at all!
