Do you consider the act of sex in a relationship essential for the relationship to develop?

Yes, it’s a relationship, not a friendship
No. As someone who enjoys sex, usually between the 1-4th date of a relationship, it can totally be changed in the same way without it by talking to her about your feelings. Sex can cement those feelings as long as you treat them right and are clear it’s not just for pleasure, but romantic connection is not dependent on consummation.
If u are asexual then its not i guss 😅
ofcourse, are they even attracted to the other person?
After a certain point – yes. Sex deepens intimacy and creates a stronger attachment bond.
What kind of relationship are you talking about?
Yeah definitely. I relationship can’t function without the right amount of sex
To me it’s the last thing, not the first , but yes one of the stages. If you try some times and see that absolutely not compatible despite the effort just end it. It’s like checking the boxes of compatibility and chemistry.
Yes, being intinate is a crucial part of the relationship. When you do it can vary, but at some point it needs to happen
Depends what all parts involved want or not.
Let’s not forget there’s diversity, and some people do not feel need to have sex and find intimacy in other actions.
Not just the physical act, it’s a spiritual one too.
Is it you that doesn’t enjoy it or them?
In my current relationship (keep in mind that we’re 37-40, we live together, and she’s calling me her life partner), we have sex only when she feels like it. I can’t even initiate, cause “it’s pressure”. But on a Christmas day, when she felt like it, she pulled my d out and started s it. Yeah. I don’t know. It’s essential, but there’re double standards when it can be had. Not my first experience.
It depends on the person.
However, the person this should be most important to is you.
If you do not like sex or other non-sexual acts to you are essential to a relationship, it is ok.
Wait for your person.
100% can’t have a relationship without it or it’s just a “fancy friendship”
To a certain point. Like if you’re married for 40-50 years and shit, it won’t really matter anymore. Or if the two are asexual
OP, how old are you?
The most boring answer is “it depends”. It depends on the people in the relationship, depends on their moods, how they view sex, etc.
No, at least for me no. I believe that marriage comes first before sex (and probably cause im a christian), i dont really want anyone to say shi like “oh yeah her i dated her and we fcked” so yeah.. it depends
I’m waiting til marriage personally so for me a relationship can have plenty of intimacy without sex but once.married I agree it’s essential for a strong bond
Of course.
For me it started at like 2-3 times a week then I got an injury and my libido dropped significantly still 1-2 a week maybe skip a week here and there because of busy lives but yeah
Yes, indeed 👍🏼
Yes without sex you will grow apart. Regular sex also proves to have a lot of health benefits both physically as mentally.
