How important is sex in your relationship?

Contributor: Mrs.Giggity Mrs.Giggity
On a scale of 1-10. 10 being VERY IMPORTANT.

I recently asked my husband this and he said a 6! I was a little upset by this, I thought his answer would have been higher but I am the nympho in our marriage. For me it's a 10.

It's very important in our relationship. We don't do it all of the time, but the desire and the feeling is important for both of us.

It's very important...not the sex itself, but the intimacy that we glean from it.

We've been married over 31 years now. There have been times when we've gone weeks without it and other times where we've had it three or four times per week.

A lot of it depended upon our schedule, energy level with having kids, and life circumstances around us.

We probably average about 3 times a week now and find that is good for us - some weeks it might be daily or 5 times a week and other times it might be twice a week. It just depends.

Sex is great and fun but it is only the frosting on our cake - the rest of our marriage is the cake itself - and that is the more important part.

Intimacy and human contact is extremely important for a healthy relationship

It's one of the things that holds us together. Our relationship has always been very physical. I'd say it's a 10 in our relationship. We have sex very frequently, on average once a day, sometimes more, sometimes we skip a day.

It's what works for us. We've been together for decades, so it isn't "wearing off" or because we are new to each other.

We find it extremely important and like P"Gell we average once a day or more, but may skip a day. We both are very physical with each other and that is how we like it.

It's very important in our relationship but we only usually have time for it on the weekends. Occasionally we'll get some spontaneous fun in during the week which is always fun.

Sex is very important to both of us and is probably what drives us to keep our closeness and bond. We have had a lot of issues with other areas of our lives, but sex has been the one thing that has always been a close, bonding and fulfilling part of our daily lives.

It's very important to me. I'd probably give it an 8/10. There are other things that are more important, but it's still close to the top of the list. Sex really helps me to feel connected to him.

If the person is capable of sex, then it's very important.

I voted for "somewhat," but because I'm in a long-distance relationship, I wonder if that vote could change when we're closer. No trip goes by without sex on day one, but it isn't necessarily a requirement. I would say, though, that intimacy is extremely important. When we're apart, the thing I miss most is just being physically close: sitting beside each other, feet touching in the bed at night, holding hands, etc.

We both like sex, but it's not highly important in our relationship. I have a higher sex drive, but I have no problem taking care of myself if he's not in the mood. It's not one of those things that we have to do all the time to feel satisfied in our relationship.

It's kinda important...I love my boyfriend no matter what, but sex helps keep us close...without it we're SO CRABBY.

This is so subjective--what someone refers to as "very" may be the same as what another couple refers to as "somewhat", so it is difficult to compare.

If 10 is VERY IMPORTANT then what is "Extremely"? 11?

Somewhat. It's a big part of our relationship, but it isn't everything.

Well, it depends on what an individual calls sex. If we mean, "he sticks his penis in my vag", well that's not really important to me right now, considering that I'm waiting for marriage so it'll be a while before we even get to that.

However, I do need someone with the same sexual proclivities as me and who is interests compatible. That part I cannot budge on. I need someone who likes BDSM, D/s, and is a service-oriented submissive.

Sex is important on so many different levels. As much as it sucks sometimes, it is better other times and keeps us close!
