In your opinion, on a scale of 1 - 10, and why?

Love creates tension, sex relieves it.

8. It doesn't revolve around sex, but if I'm not 100% sexually satisfied it won't work.

The importance of sex is inversely proportionate to the length of the relationship.

In an actual relationship? 8-10. It provides another level of intimacy, relieves stress, and I get moody without it. A bad sex life in a relationship would be as detrimental a poor communication, mismatched plans for the future, etc. It wouldn't work.

I would never get into a relationship "for sex" because it's not too hard to find sex outside of a relationship setting, so why would I bother with the relationship part in that case? But since I would never be in a non-sexual relationship, I would say 10. Sex only adds, not detracts. Fun, good exercise, and brings people closer emotionally, socially, and physically.

As an addendum, what do you think of people (women in particular) who use sex as a bait? Do you come across women like that? If so, how do you handle?

I view sex as a very important thing in a relationship and I'm only in college. Besides the fact that I'm a horny college student, it does allow for more intimacy and closeness. Also, I tend to not allow women to try and use sex as a weapon. It should be both of us enjoying it so no reason for sex to be used as a weapon.

It's the only reason for a relationship. Women don't have anything else to offer, especially nowadays as most of them can't cook or clean worth a damn.



Only partially joking.

Not sure what sex as bait means. I've never been with a girl who "withheld sex" to get something. They have always had higher libidos than me.

If you mean a woman who tries to lay me to get me to get in a relationship, that hasn't happened to me either. Women lose all power when they sleep with a man, at least in my experience.

If you mean a woman not giving it up too early, I can't blame them. It's a good tactic and one that I appreciate. Once I am in a relationship with them I know they won't be sleeping around too easily or as likely to cheat. It's a catch 22 though, because as males we are programmed to want sex ASAP, but we respect women more who make us wait. Similar to how women want to control a man, but they respect a man who cannot be controlled.

To sort of quote Chris Rock, "sex will make you put up with a lot of bull shit. "

Who can blame them, Metro!

I would say sex and friendship are both equally the most important things, for a relationship to work.

Freaky sex gets old quite quickly without the friendship and personality to go with it.

Equally though, without freaky sex, I go looking elsewhere and break things off, before I end up cheating.
