I was watching the "First Dates," program on TV
the other evening. An older couple were matched up.
She was 59 and he was I think around 69. She asked
him whether he was still sexually active. I was
somewhat appalled - thinking what's it got to do with
her? Then, I realised that perhaps it was a fair
question to ask if she was looking for a long-term
relationship and not just a fling.

It gave me the idea for this discussion.
How important is sex in a relationship to you and why?

Discuss. And please try to keep politics out of this
discussion.

What sort of relationship?

Is Mise,

You tell us.

Yes sex is critical, as it promotes intimacy.

Intimacy is the reason that arranged mirages work

The trouble with sex is that it produces too many resource-sponging morons ! It also causes family break-ups but otherwise it's great !

Sex is not important in a relationship unless it is an intimate sexual relationship.
My relationship with my bank manager, for example, is devoid of any sexual connotations, even though we have intercourse, social intercourse.
