Is sex is the core of any romantic relationship? (Page 2)

[EmmaMary]

Quite simply you cannot one without the other.

[DevikaButts95]

THE core? No.
Is a part of the core? Yes.

[Nikki1989]

It is the glue that keeps people together. Without it, you might as well be roommates.

[ChicoFromThe305]

No that is a lie, sex can be very helpful into growing a bond with your partner but love is the core of a romantic relationship.

[ChicoFromThe305]

At least a healthy one

[oldguystillhasit]

Sex doesn't necessarily lead to love, but, sex is much better with someone you do love.

If the answer is yes, prostitutes would've fallen in love with their customers after a good day's fuck, but they don't so no.

The difference between being best friends vs being in a relationship is that the latter involves sex.

[The_Sexpert]

As much I have had and love sex, I won't say it's the "core" but it's essential

[bananathunder]

they go together like peanut butter and jelly in my opinion

[Anonymous]

I would say it's up to each person/partnership to decide that. I can tell one thing. For me if sex is all she's bringing to the relationship then she can keep right on walking.

[Kingofkings1992]

Sex is surely important in a relationship, but it shouldn’t be the foundation that the relationship is built on. If it is, said relationship will inevitably fail.

[jahaims]

Love should lead to sex not the other way around. Love is the core not sex.

[Roudyrebel8]

Sex is a beautiful part of a loving relationship but it can't be the foundation or it will never last

[lemonsandmelons]

Haha well, the reason science exists is because people are bad at making causal relations.

[lemonsandmelons]

It's not everything, and it doesn't have to be the biggest thing either even though It has a lot of potential to be. But think of it this way. There's a lot of ways to express love, and sex is the most direct with immediate and powerful signal with no language or understanding barrier. It's really nice, but it's just another language.

[lemonsandmelons]

As another angle to the question, no don't start with sex and hope that it will flourish into something more. That's how you ramp up your body count and get USED.

Id say its one of the core things in a romantic relationship.

[NathanDavis]

not usually, no

[CharlotteNoivern]

Not all relationships are based on sky

[MissBoogus]

I think love leads to sex

[Sparkie460]

Sex doesn't lead to love. Love leads to sex

[Jamie05rhs]

Lmao. No; sex does not lead to love.
