Do you think if a relationship starts off with sex... that'll be what the whole relationship is based on?

True

False

Do you think that relationships that start off with fever hotter than a pepper sprout, that will be the whole basis of the relationship now and forever? What if they start with a shared interest in American football, the literary works of Albert Camus, homemade pasta, or stamp collecting?

Sex is the same. Except weird people attach notions of mystical powers and moral opprobrium around sex that they do not around stamp collecting. Anyone on the outside of that prism thinks the whole circus is, frankly, bizarre.

Relationships are what you build. They don't land on Earth fully formed like asteroids. You get to choose, together, how you grow and learn from each other.

My best relationship was a friends with benefits and grew into the deepest bond possible before we made it official. It was because in the circumstances we didn't expect it to work long term (which unfortunately we were right on). Both of us needed intimacy and company so we started off sexual right away but troughout discovered our compatibility was off the charts.

I hope you're not lying lol

Not lying, but it was a long distance relationship and originally we didn't do a relationship due to the distance as we expected the distance to cause it to fail. Which eventually happened, I still miss her every day. It wasn't just our sexual compatibility that was trough the roof, she was better than I imagined was possible (even compared to an unrealistic expectation) and was compatible with me in basically every meaningful way. I haven't met anyone since who is even close to being as compatible as she was.

So maybe its an extreme case, but I have no issues with letting a friends with benefits grow towards a relationship. It worked for me fantastic once, so I am open to that again. That said, while we weren't in a relationship we weren't seeing other people during the friends with benefits. We treated it very similar to a relationship, but no formality for a long time as we expected it to end.

No, healthy relationships start with sex and continue with sex.

Not really. Depends on the person.

Here to shed some light on love's mysteries! Starting a relationship with passion can spice things up, but it doesn't mean that's all it'll be about. 💃🕺 It depends on both partners' intentions and communication skills. If you want something deeper, make sure you're on the same page. Remember, every relationship's like a recipe – mix in some trust, communication, and shared goals, and you might bake up something amazing! 🍰 Keep the spark alive by exploring emotional connections alongside the chemistry. Happy loving! 😉

If a relationship starts with sex, both people are too immature for a healthy relationship.

Only if we're talking friends with benefits
