Disagree.
On one hand I look at it from the aspect of most people not being aware of what they bring to the table to begin with. For a lot of people if you ask them to write down what they have going for them they might struggle to fill out half a sheet of paper, because they've just never thought about it and their self esteem is the biggest inhibitor of this. So that's one factor.
On the other hand, when you're only looking at one thing. Once sex is removed there is no guarantee you have the eyes to see what is being provided, because it depends more on what it is you want as an individual. What you're looking for. Or maybe you do see the value they provide and what they offer isn't something you necessarily want. Maybe the other person actually provides a lot, but because you personally don't want/care about those things you're not seeing a high value on what they offer. But they do still have a lot to offer you. You just don't want it lol.
This makes me think of the fact that you and I could be sitting down on a bench just people watching. Both of us could see a hot girl and both acknowledge that she is 10/10 hot, but she's not "my 10" or "your 10". We could both acknowledge she is hot and at the same time one of us may not be attracted to her, while the other is deeply attracted to her. Because who she is, how she looks and what you personally are looking for are more in line with what the girl provides. I've passed girls to friends for that very reason lol
u Sex is what some scientific types call a necessary but not sufficient condition. Is is in absolute requirement for many of us but, by itself, it is not enough. Without sex, many of us will lose interest in a relationship but that doesn't mean that the person doesn't have great qualities.
How about this - many people may *think* the main thing they will offer in a relationship is sex, but in fact it is a small part, and the main things one contributes to relationships and other people, comes from their personality, experiences, knowledge, and the effort they put in. It matters immensely, and how you act in a relationship can greatly/for the worse influence another human being. Maybe your question stems from an idea that today people aren't making as much/enough effort to get to know people and to engage with them, and accept and choose them, flaws and all. But if both that and the sex is great - kablammo.
I disagree with this Because when we meet a potential partner for date, the first thing you do is talk, you get to know them. you don't jump into bed without creating a relationship.
I mean people do have conversations in a relationship right? Not just hump around everyday.

Disagree, I'm sorry but this is a sociopathic pount of view.
I wanted to vote other, errant mouse click and a fatigued mind made Me take a side by accident.
While the vast a majority of Women and Men I have encountered only saw a relationships and Partners from a shallow Point of View, I have however dated a Girl when I was in My early Teens Who was My "Better half" We Wrestled, We gamed, We took walks, We Knew each other inside and out and never once did We have Sex at Her Request and Her Parent's Behest, Terms I was all too willing to accept.
Since then, Society hasn't presented anyone that could fulfill such a place and through out High school Girls pestered Me to forget Her and date them, I never took them up on it as at least one of them used to despised Me before meeting Me again a Grade and several years latter, sucks for her but I don't forget that sort of thing I also don't think She wanted me for Me and at least one of them turned to Gang life so I am glad She isn't a part of Mine. as far as the World on Your end is concerned I would say 7240780302.3 People have nothing to offer You in particular, but that leaves 804531144.7 that Might be "Your Better half".
TLDR Look here;
Look for one, compare the ones You met before and I can't stress this enough!
Don't give Yourself away to the first one that seems nice!
My experience They all do until they are not.
I think a lot depends on people's nature and possibly where in the timeline the relationship, there is probably a period when things get serious and just before the deep settling down questions start where sex is at its most important and would be mostly keenly missed if taken away. I would think that for most people that relationships are a varying mixture of physicality and relationship intimacy (romantic, emotional, social etc)
I sometimes feel these questions cannot be truly answered till you experience it , could you cope with sex without connection or connection without sex, I would guess most would want something in between with the ideal for the majority sex with a connection
I don't know about that Coach Tony. Lets get some water in you and get you back to the top of your game
You know that one couple that everyone thinks shouldn’t be together bc they’re just not compatible and fight all the time? They’re the ones I’m talking about when I say I agree. When the love is real, sex is just a bonus, not everything you have to offer, in my opinion
Sex shouldn't be everything in a relationship like sure go ahead and fuck around a few times but what matters most is just you and that person making the best of times for each other. Just going on dates, watching movies, sitting there looking at the sunset holding hands, holding each other in the middle of the night and talk about interesting topics and a whole bunch of other things matters the most. If your just there for the sex then alright do your flow but for me I am there for the personality. Not sex.
Agree. It’s not that your relationship had nothing to offer from the beginning. But once you lose the sex, the intimacy is chipped away until there’s nothing left. Same with your self esteem. It doesn’t matter if one partner has a medical condition, if they aren’t honest and they just cut off all sex and intimacy, the other partner doubts themselves. Once all that happens, you’re nothing but roommates if your lucky. There’s a lot of resentment.
Agree. from what I see
Most people find the way i date odd. Like a male friend will have a better shot at dating me vs a ramdom guy. Why? They learning things about me everyday and vice versa.
I vaule friendship like air and water and if we can't develope that. I dont even want to be physical.
I disagree, but I refer to myself here because I have many great relationship plans that don’t involve sex. But many other obnoxious, rowdy party animals I know would have nothing to offer their girls if they couldn’t “get it up” (I’m talking about boys who are predictable, unfunny, conformist, etc but happen to be hot, therefore attract shallow girls; but without the sex, haha, good luck to them) 🤣🤣🤣
Sex shouldn't be what your realtionship is based off of in the first place.
I disagree. Men have lots to offer in a relationship, but women often have very little to offer besides sexual stuff. Not all of course, but that often seems to be the case.
Or, at least for my generation that is how it has been. I think it is different for the younger generations.
When you truly get commited to someone for who they are are and you love them so very much. Sex becomes a medium of physical love. Both enjoy it.
Even though you remove it, remember why you fell in love with in the first place?
It's not for sex. It's for the person you liked. Just because you want to spend an entire life with that person.
At least you got a reason to live.

You work hard, earn money not only to feed yourself, but feed your loved ones too. That's love.
They might not pay you but there is Love. 🎶💞
I think sex can keep someone holding on to a relationship longer that they should. On the flip side if a couple stops having sex it decreases their emotional bond and can cause them to break up.
Relationship without physical closeness, sex included is just friendship and claiming friendship has nothing to offer is just sad. So this is only true for the person who has nothing to contribute, we all have different needs but all benefits from a having friends and family. The needs only dictate how big that group is.
If your relationship relies on sex, then it’s not a healthy relationship (assuming you’re not just fuck buddies or something).
I am perfectly content not having sex with my SO, but including sex in out relationship (in moderation) is healthy because it’s a stress reliever and it builds emotional connection, strengthening our relationship.
Disagree. I think everyone has something to offer. However, I have noticed there are people these days who are not open to emotional connections. It's not that they don't have anything to offer, it's that they aren't open to it. I don't know if it's because they're afraid or what.
A relationship that develops in a natural way, sex is the culmination of intimacy, understanding and trust. You can never get those things with just sex.
People that are in the mentality of "sex is the BEST thing EVER" - for them yes, take away their sex and they have so little or nothing else to offer.
But to be truthful, sex does dictate a lot of things in the relationship. To some people, it is priority.
There is more to a relationship than sex.. but men are easy to take care of.. all we want is to be pampered sometimes a good hot meal and of course sex. Sex to men is the Trump all that is wrong and trueyly we need the release of tension. Sex calms us and reassured us that you still care and love me... Without the sex.. men feel like you are giving yourself to someone else... In my experience when a women leaves a man they run to someone else... So yes you found someone else and just shut me off and burned me down without even a voice of Truth or compassion.
It depends on the person. You can see how important sex is to them if you draw the line on things and they always seem to cross that line. That's someone who honestly only wants sex or can't see a relationship without sex. I think it's really important to hold off having sex because it reveals what kind of person you are with.
Sex is only the icing on the cake. Find the right person you get it all. Sex is only one aspect of a relationship wether you're just beginning the relationship or have been with your girlfriend or boyfriend awhile. Look for other things that make it more meaningful
