how important is sex?..in a relationship and out of one. not just sex, but "action" period (touching, oral, dry sex, whatever it is that gets you off). can you be with someone and be 100% happy without having the sexual aspect of it? please no 'sex isn't important at all!' answers unless you truly feel that way, we all have needs.. post anonymously if you must but be real. is it selfish to want to be sexual with your significant other when they don't. would you leave someone because of a lack of intimacy when everything else is fine? if not, what happens when you reach your breaking point? should intimacy of any kind automatically be apart of a relationship? what if you and your s/o were regularly intimate, and the next day they decided to stop having sex. then what would you do? continue on knowing you have needs? would you just masterbate everyday?
i ask because i was watching an episode of tyra where they discussed the importance of sex and the 'rules'. she had a bunch of couples on going through problems because of sex, and a panel of men and women discussing and it was pretty interesting to see how many women admitted to intimacy being an important part of a healthy and happy relationship. just as important as communication and honesty lol.
to sum it up: is intimacy a must? i'll assume that most of you have been sexual in some sort of way...if you were in the position where you knew intimacy was out of the question, how would you feel? i guess you can use that to figure out exactly how important it is to you. do you have to test drive the car before driving it off the lot? would you have wandering eyes? and would those eyes get the best of you?
