Sex is secondary to love, for Love is it's own identity. Sex can be as meaningless as the Taco Bell salsa packets, or more meaningful than the Bible. It's all how you look at it.
For me, love is actually caring about the person. Worrying about them when they are sick or their mood is off. Taking care of them and treating them with respect. Sex is better with someone you love I think. You have a certain comfort level with them that you wouldn't have with someone that you don't have those love bonds with.
Caring for that person, wanting to spend every minute of everyday with that person, wanting them to be there when times are good and when they are bad. It's not about sex, but sex is better with the one you love I wreckon.
