if you're a sexual being, removing sex from a relationship ruins it for you either way. in my opinion everybody has a diverse set of things they bring to the table. it's up to the individual to find one who brings stuff to the table that they want/like. if f you fail to do that, then yes, taking away sex, there's nothing left but that's your fault. i'm not saying it's easy to find someone like that. but that's what one should aim for.
Oh, okay. I'm planning to meet up with this girl that I'm talking to (sometime, soon, I hope, ... I mean before I die lol), but neither one of us wants to have sex. We're just going to hang out.
Kinda. Sex is what makes a relationship more than friends and more than a roommate. Take it away and all you have is a friend and room mate.
Truthfully that is most important benefit I get from my wife. It is most certainly not the only benefit and the only thing I want from her, it’s just the most important thing.
Whenever I've been with someone where the attraction was only physical (for me), I have grown bored with them within a few weeks.
I don't see how you can get deep into a relationship before you realise that sex is all it offers. The sex would have to be so mindblowingly brilliant that you were basically a zombie the rest of the time.
I actually had a lot in common with a female coworker who I never slept with. I imagine being in a relationship with her we’d still have those things in common. Sex would be amazing for sure.
If sex is all that you benefit from in a relationship then I believe it isn't a relationship. Enjoy each others company, conversations, share experiences, have fun without having sex otherwise I tend to view it as just a fling.
The sex will be one anchor point of the relationship. Remove it, and the equation becomes unbalanced. Just like removing communication, it would become unbalanced.
TBH, some relationships are pretty much sexual in nature. So, yes, remove that and there is not much there. Thing is, if one person removes the sex, are they getting it elsewhere. If so, time to work on the situation or get some on the side, or ditch the person.
TBH further, even though some relationships are sexual in nature, there is always a bond in a relationship that has gone that far. So, it's not really a quantifiable statement to say a person has nothing else to offer other than sex, since that pegs sn individual (s) as a mere sex object (s), which is demeaning. TBF, the individual (s) may just want to limit it to a sexual type of relationship, which, in that case, that is all there is.
And to rectify the "ditch", statement, that is a rather harsh term, more appropriate would be to end the relationship on good terms, take a breather, and go from there.
Because sex is the Driving force of a fucking relationship... You are Married and Giving in Marriage for all of History... 1. to build a relationship between peoples, tongs and nations. Alliances.. So you and your descendants would survive. Your DNA passed on and your blood line continued. 2. So you can have a family and children of your own and the HUMAN RACE would continue and move forward. That is why Sex is a BIG DEAL
Seems like it to me. For some that is their only glue, that the sex is good. But sex will not hold everything together permanently as it is not Superglue, it is just sex.
I wouldn't be swiping 95% of women on Tinder, if that were the case. My standards for sex are far lower than something I'd consider for a relationship. I think it's that way because modern society pushes the sexual agenda, with all their promotion and that you're not cool unless you have sex. Not to mention, with how little other things are valued, something that should hold more weight such as sex ends up being the most standard and mundane source of "entertainment".
lol I mean considering most people fuck on date 1-3 these days, yeah, if you removed sex who knows what would happen, most often the only reason the man is interested is sex. This is why women have to learn to respect themselves and their bodies blah blah blah im too tired of sounding like an old man when these young hoes are just gunna call me an incel
The statement isn't strictly true, but if you remove sex from the relationship your partner will likely seem like he or she has less and less to offer, because sex contributes to pair bonding and causes the brain to manufacture its love chemicals.
I disagree. Relationship is based on love not sex even though sex and love have many things in common and are interrelated. Sex shouldn't be the criteria for a relationship in the first place even though sexual compatibility is important in a relationship.
Disagree. Partners are like roommates. They work with you to keep your environment comfortable. Cook, clean, buy things, wash, and so on. That's a great thing to offer.

If I dated someone and found out all they wanted was sex I'd leave that relationship so quick
Our relationship started out ldr, we tried meeting up every 3 months but at times it was 5-6 months. Sex is important but not everything.
Did you meet up for sex?
@Jamie05rhs we met up as a couple, so sex was a part of it yes but not the only thing we did. Did a lot of sightseeing, eating out, going to bars etc.
Oh, okay. I'm planning to meet up with this girl that I'm talking to (sometime, soon, I hope, ... I mean before I die lol), but neither one of us wants to have sex. We're just going to hang out.
@Jamie05rhs that’s fine. If both of you just want to hang out and spend time together there shouldn’t be any problem, right?
Thanks :)

Don't understand this.
Whenever I've been with someone where the attraction was only physical (for me), I have grown bored with them within a few weeks.

I agree but only because women's primary benefit is the sex as a reward treat. Naturally so.
I say: Remove sex from a relationship and you have friendship.

Say its 1500 BC and its you, your wife and your 2 kids.. any day a lion could wipe your DNA off the MAP 1 fucking LION
What's the difference between a hooker and a gold digger?
A retirement plan...
I avoid mimbos for this specific reason. Money can't buy commonalities, i. q, or humor but it can buy a great hooker...

Sadly.

Disagree, because here in my country people wait for marriage to have sex and still have pretty strong relationships before marriage!
If you get to the point where the sex, or even just making out, is the MAIN reason you're dating this person, then I think that's a problem.
I disagree. Relationship is based on love not sex even though sex and love have many things in common and are interrelated. Sex shouldn't be the criteria for a relationship in the first place even though sexual compatibility is important in a relationship.

Yes. But he's saying some people, not all people.
There are a lot of relationships based primarily on sex. These relationships usually don't last long as people become less attractive over time.
