    If one thinks sex will solve all problems then one is sadly mistaken.

    You seem to be talking to someone else while quoting my posts. Where have I said sex solves all the problem ?

    Pauline , of course it works if there are no other options :D

    Asexuals - don't know about those , no idea. I guess if those exist than that's fine although why do they need to have.relationships , they might just live in a houseshare .
    The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
    Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.

    Because a house share doesn't meet the other aspects of a longterm relationship. That this might not be recognised just goes to show how underestimated the importance of aspects other than sex and genetic company are in a long term relationship, ( asexual or otherwise!)

    Was half joking.
    I know , I know - emotional closeness , skin contact, financial interdependence , activity company , partners in kids upbringing etc etc.

    I believe it is all politcorrect rubbish about "whatever suits you is fine ". I never seen and can not imagine a happy couple who would have.it twice a year. Something is wrong if it is less than once a week. Because if it is it means either one of them.or both don't fancy each other any more. We have.only one life and.living it with person who dies not fancy you/ you don't fancy is a waste.

    How do you equate having sex 1 time in 7 days to a happy relationship? And sex 1 time in 8 days that 2 people don't fancy each other any more and something must be wrong?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Happy couples who have been together for over 10 years know there is far more to a relationship than sex. ;)

    The hot weather thing was true for me! Now we're back to normal weather it's gone down to our usual once a week if we're lucky prob more like once every two. We do have a toddler and I am 7 months pregnant though.

    That's total rubbish! :mad:

    We can go many months without and that doesn't mean we're with people we don't fancy anymore. A relationship is far more than sex.

    It's true, a relationship is about more than sex. However, without sex, it isn't a relationship at all, it's merely a friendship. Sex is pretty damn important.

    It is as important as you make it out to be. To some its a deal breaker, to others just one of those curveballs life throws at you.
  • I agree that sex is very important too. Having been in a marriage where I was really not interested in it, and now being in a marriage where if I don't have it I miss it. I for one certainly recognise that as a couple you have go to have a certain amount of desire for each other amongst other things. Friendship alone in my opinion is not enough.

    For some couples sex is important, not all.

    Of course it's a relationship without sex.
