thats not what i'm saying but the general consensus of opinion !
This is very true and there are many books and studies to back up this statement.....I have a few.
Many problems arise over sexual problems that a partner or both partners may experience, and it carries over into the relationship on a conscious or unconscious level according to psychologists....and I know this from experience.
Sexual compatibility is never to be underestimated, of course there are some exceptions....according to some posts in this thread.
I really do strongly feel it's a very important aspect of a relationship...good sex and good relationships going hand in hand is no myth
I can honestly say from experience that a relationship will not solely survive on
goodoff the charts great sex alone. My last relationship was a very good one. My ex and I got along all the time, we rarely argued, agreed on many things, and disagreed with respect and understanding. We also had phenomenal sex. It ended because I did not want to have a baby (already have two kids), so I was just not ready for that, especially since we had been together for not even a year and a half.
I know from experience that a discrepancy in views about sexual frequency can create problems. If you cannot settle into a pattern that you are both happy with, then it will be a problem....no matter how good your everyday relationship life is going outside of sex. If you have a strong sex drive, and your partner does not, good luck with all that. It is the same as if you did not like a characteristic in your partner, and just could not manage it because it made you so unhappy...no matter how hard you tried to understand.
If somebody is so much more sexually drastically different than you in the sense that it only puts pressure and creates problems all the time.... why in the fu** should we stay. This whole thing about sex has gone astray. Like we should ignore the significance of it. The people who feel guilty about expressing it or doing it all the time, even with multiple partners, are more often than not influenced by their religion. I remember going to church in high school (my redheaded girlfriend was a Christian), and during Sunday school with the teen age group, there was so much negative talk about sex...how bad it was to fornicate and so on. The preacher would always lecture us about how we should wait until marriage, and if we did not, it was like we were going to hell or something.
I just find it absurd to deny our biological drifts.
There is so much more to post about all the problems that bad sex can create in a relationship....in the beginning or even as we age together through mid-life and into old age.
