Infatuation is one of the most powerful feelings we can experience. It's sexual. Our senses are flooded with all kinds of euphoric chemicals. You can't get enough of each other. You just want to merge with that person.
But infatuation has a honeymoon period. It eventually starts wearing off. You stop idealizing that person as the most perfect creature who ever lived and you start seeing them as a human being. You decide that you love and admire them despite their habits, idiosyncrasies, faults and attitudes.
At that point, you work on maintaining and strengthening a healthy, happy relationship.
You can keep the excitement of infatuation alive but things change. You're now into real, everyday life, not the brain chemical euphoria and storybook fantasy of initial romance. Your sole focus is no longer on sex but on the welfare and happiness of your partner. That kind of love grows and grows.
However, sex between a man and a woman is an important bond. Keeping that excitement alive requires playfulness. It's not like you are just two people living together. You celebrate the difference between male and female. It's one of the mysteries of creation that makes a person feel joy, awe and appreciation to be alive.
I'd say sex, because people who get separated later on have a really hard time starting their life on their own. That can't be because of the already low amount of sex they were most likely having, but because of the attachment that was built during the relationship. I think when you stay with someone for so long, you definitely love them in one way or the other (some people love in very strange, different ways, but it's still love in the end)
For me it tends to be the love and romance. I'm overall a busy person and if I'm dating an equally busy person, and we both get caught up with our personal lives to not make an effort in keeping the romance between us - that beginning honeymoon dating phase... will begin to fade where I'll be feeling a disconnect.
The physical attraction and sex can still be good, but if there's a loss for love, it won't have that deep emotional connection that I crave.
The romance is gone when the love leaves. The passion is what is gone when the sex leaves. Maybe I'm not understand this question fully. It's a bit confusing as of what your asking

Love... the guys usually not all loses the love bc they get comfy with the relationship that they think they don't need to impress their girl or guy anymore bc they got them and so love is just tossed in the background. Me i am a very romantic girl, so i end up getting hurt always bc i expect a real man to tell me he loves me each day, and not just at the beginning of the relationship then does it at his convenient whenever he wants and which in my experience its been after 2 months the honey moon is over.
I’m not big on romance. I prefer daily kindness, honesty and commitment to the relationship.
The love itself, in my opinion. Since it's the origin of the romance which leads to sex.
actually each thing begins to feel lacking, but the first thing to go is talking with each other, then lack of interest in each other and what things you used to do together sexual and non-sexual things begin to start to fade... then communication about even little things and then important things start failing, you then find that you begin have sex or do things out of habit... not out of want or desire... and when that feels lacking and you can't be bothered to work towards the why and try and heal your relationship that is when you know it's over...
I don't know. I think it can be either. In my marriage, as far as I can tell, the problems started with sex then spilled over to other areas. I feel like everyone says 'oh if the love/romance side is there the sex follows' so I was probing back then for my partner being dissatisfied in other areas, but she swore absolutely not and seemed offended i'd even consider it. It was just about sex. Which she had no desire to fix, in fact things just got worse and worse and eventually spilled over into other areas.
I don't think that's so unusual, but the other (emotional side dies first) is also not unusual.
That's a good question... I'd say the romance because that's part of the honeymoon period. Where you both are trying to court each other. When you get married you settle down into normal life and romance can just get forgotten and replaced with life
I believe Men want more Sex in a Relationship and the Woman wants things as they are I would never leave a Woman just cause we didn't have Sex that much I like Real Love which means the most to me.
Interesting one to ponder on here... I've always thought of romance and love as a pairing more so than romance and sex. Sexual urges can be physically satisfied with your partner without any romance (of course can be done in a romantic context too - making it even better) - but I think if it's a long term relationship, doing things romantically is done so out of love... not to get in her pants :)
I think love, unless your partners not very good in bed I would think they would still want to have sex even if they weren't in love.
Well since sex literally factors in no way into romance for me. Like yes it can be romantic but i mean in i don't need sex to love someone. Love would have to be lost for the romance to be gone if that makes sense. So love. Lust and sex is whole other thing that i would never really lose if i found someone hot.
If a guy cums with the same girl more than 3 times a week.
He won't love her by the end of the year haha
Its scientific and has been studied. The more a woman puts out, the less the man wants her. Each time it widdles away the pairbonding signals and hormones in the men.
No idea, maybe sex, if the initial frequency of sex is more.
What if both fades away equally?
Just when I realize she is TOO different, and I absolutely cannot be Vegan!!!
I think that in most relationships, the excitement of sex fades the fastest.
Neither, you can love someone, and not be interested in sex, and you can screw people that you thoroughly detest.
I would say sex bc its one of the basic instincts. if you have to make up excuses for not wanting etc what else are you making excuses for?
Love because couples usually fall out of love and lose communication and communication combined with love is key
The romantic sex always seems to die first, and in many scenarios I've lived through, the love usually follows - often because the sex died. Seems like a pretty straight-forward progression.
You don't have sex if you lost the love you always go for another person , thought of not being with that particular person make you peacefully there you can see you lost the love in that relationship , and sex fades away later
A woman wouldn't be able to handle my sex drive, she'd be ruined.
