What's more important in a relationship, sexual connection or emotional connection?

They are both important. I don't know that I'd say one is more important than the other. Yes, you can have sex without emotion, but that's not a relationship. And, yes, you can have emotion without sex, but I'd argue that relationship isn't going to last very long or be very good -- we are sexual beings and sex is vital to our health. Both are important and one isn't more so than the other.

If there is emotional connection then there is a satisfying sexual relationship

The two hold hands. Emotional connection should come first and will help grow a stronger sexual connection which will in turn make the emotional one even better.

Other than hugs and a brief kiss, since I don't do sex and I'm going to for the next few years, the emotional connection is important.

It sounds obvious but to many it really isn’t. Having an emotional connection is going to get you a lot farther than just sex. Because eventually if that’s all it has going the sex will get boring and most people will seek that more emotional desire and will try to find it in others. Best case they break up worst case they cheat…. And they will cheat for sexual reasons as well because they want new experiences.

Emotional is more important. We have a great sex life because we are so connected emotionally. Without the emotional connection, there would be no sex.

I had my share of partners, but it was the emotional connection with my now-partner of 2 years that kept me with him.

Emotional is more important in a relationship but sex is also very important to a relationship.

Short term sexual connection. Long term emotional. But you'll never get to the emional without first having the sexual.
