Does sex really matter to anyone anymore?

I do like the whole package . But, people don't always associate love with sex . That's not to say that sex doesn't matter, or that sex isn't important . Some people just don't want the relationship part, for multiple reasons .
As far as having an excuse for cheating, I agree, excuses like those are cheesy .

Sex is a way of expressing what you have inside you of feelings to your partner and in my opinion sex could be one of two, sex for desire and sex for love and the best is the sex for love cause you will have it for love and feelings supported by the desire inside you which makes it very sweet and tender.

For some men girls are just bodies. And for other girls guys are only a tool to release their desire, no one ignore the fact that sex is about out coming all the borders and limitations between any couple. For me as a man when ever I have sex like sex in a long term relationship or sex for one night stand it matters a lot for me to make my partner feels me, this means sharing all my emotions with her and giving her all those things that makes her feels secure and lovable, not necessarily to love her to show that, but I can give her a good time that she would remember as a good time with some one.

The best time for me is that time when I'm done with sex and having my girl in my arms just cuddling and kissing, and believe me that what makes her getting back to me not because of being good in bed or knows how to make her reach her orgasm. It is because she feels good, she feels human and not only a body.

Sounds like the prostitute credo. Do anything you want but don't kiss or hug them.

. And I am also confused by the question. Are you asking whether some people put more emphasis on intimate aspects of a relationship than just the "sex" part? If so, I don't know. I've heard that women tend to forgive men more often if he only had "sex" but did not fall in love with his mistress. Don't know if it holds any merit as I have yet to find it out first-hand. :)

Are you asking if nobody cares if they have sex? Or are you asking if sex is the driving force in a person's life but not lovemaking? The answer to both your questions is:

HOGWASH!!!

People want to get laid first and foremost. But intimacy and romance is also a very important part of lovemaking. If all a person wants is sex, then sure, imtimacy may not be included, but many others do indeed add in romance. They just lump it all into one category:

Sex.

I've met an equal amount of people(men AND women) who seek both a quick fix with no emotion whatsoever and the perfect partner who you can bring home to your parents and have sex with the passion of a recent newlyweds.

The real question I have for you is: What is it you are looking for?

I really had a hard time understanding this post. Are you asking that people are having sex, but they don't care about who they are having sex with? But yet, if they hug/kiss/cuddle then that is very intimate and means a lot?
If I'm in a relationship with a girl that I care a lot for, then sex does matter---a lot! Hugging, kissing, cuddling, also matters.....

I agree. I'm so lucky to have a boyfriend, and I hope he isn't like some of these guys that has a girl on the side. But as for caring about sex I care about sex a lot, it's a big part of me and my boyfriend's relationship. But it's meaningful. But it's really frustrating to understand what to do. At least for a girl, because I think we assume guys just want sex and that's it, but I've noticed that if a guy really is fully committed he wants more intimacy. So I don't know but I do agree
