Is love necessary for physical needs?

Enjoying physical relationships called "making love" is so essential when you are romantically in love with your partner. After marriage the first 5 years it is generally 80% sex and 20% other things in love. Next 10 years, 60% sex and 40% other things. Between 15 years to 25 years, may be 50/50 depends upon case to case. Beyond 25 years sex comes down to secondary position and “other things” start taking priority. Sex is very important not just bonding together but it provides the 'lubrication' for a longer relationships.

Intercourse means internal course mandatory to connect man to woman, soul to soul deeply. It is really important for satisfying our physical needs. Intercourse binds people together. Unites two bodies and souls. When there is love, it needs to be stick forever and only intercourse can do that. Nature never brings something into existence for no reason. Nature is beautiful. It is vital in a relationship, for most part, to say the least. Not an axiom, but something important. I don't see why it is a matter of such hype in the first place, but I'd like to show you something.

Having sex is very much important to maintain a spark in your relationship in order to keep the fire of love burning. Suppose if you are in a relationship since few months and haven’t even touched your partner yet. As you both will grow more affectionate of each other, you both will start holding hands. After few months, you both will kiss each other for the first time and sooner or later, it will lead to intercourse. It’s human nature, people will get bored if there is nothing new in a relationship. Everyone likes to have some change in their old life, that’s what keeps everything going. Even the nature changes its seasons because it can’t keep on having the same season its entire life.

I am not saying that sex is very important. You can keep on having that spark in your relationship by trying many other things like doing some adventurous stuff like skydiving, travelling, trying new dishes et cetera along with your partner. But at some point, you will need it and do it only if you are serious about your relationship. I guess I have make my point as clear as possible. All suggestions are acceptable.

Suppose the following two types of relationships: You are in a one year long relationship with a person. You hang out once, twice or maybe thrice a week, text all day long, share secrets and have a have a deep emotional connection. Basically, you both love each other's company. But both of you neither have kissed nor have had sex.

Consider the same scenario but only this time you both are open to being sexual. You both are calling each other every other night looking for an opportunity. You both cannot keep your hands off each other and sneaking into public restrooms. Whenever you both instead of just a "Hey", it is accompanied with a small peck on lips. Try to picture both the cases precisely and decide for yourself which relationship will have stronger intimacy.

Love by itself may not be sufficient in a relationship??, it is equally important to be sexually satisfied. Sex makes a person complete and acts as bond and builds intimacy????among the partners. Sexual satisfaction is the bedrock of a long term relationship??Negatives of not having a satisfied sex life: Frustration. Short temperedness. Mood swings. Difficulty in concentration. Imbalanced hormones. Sense of being incomplete n wanting. Feeling heavy n unhealthy. Lack of personal care. Lower immunity.

If I have to choose between love and sex, I will choose love. If my spouse abstains for sex for ever from now onwards but he or she commits himself to show his/her love to me and my immediate family, I won’t complain. For me, sex is like a meal. I will savour it as long as it lasts. I will get contented at some point. I will start feeling the hunger again after some time. But love has no bounds. I can keep on giving love and keep on receiving love unconditionally.

"Sex" isn't really that important in a singular life. I mean, it's a lot of fun, but you can certainly grow up, live, and die without actually having sex. Love on the other hand is essential to developing positive self regard, an important part of one's psychological makeup. We need to have social affirmation, to feel that we are just as important to someone as they are to us, in order to live a happy life. But you can have love without sex, it's much broader than that. The love felt through friendship or parenthood is independent of sex, but just as fulfilling. Even couples who suffer from neurological or urino-genital disorders that prevent them from having sex aren't any less in love.

Perhaps the best way to put it is like this... when you're on your deathbed, you'll be thinking of loved ones, not past sex partners. Love without sex is possible. And so is sex without love. What is important to me between the two will not be the same for you. I will choose love anytime. I cannot have sex with the one I do not love. But I can be with the one whom I love without having sex. It’s tremendously hard but if push comes to shove, this will be my choice. No pun intended. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing Ki(Sho)re (Shin)tre. Out of the 2 scenarios you presented here in your short version, of course the 1st scenario will lead to a more meaningful, deeply fulfilled relationship down the road. The couple is gradually getting acquainted, building emotional intimacy and trust while having platonic fun friendship and building a solid foundation. Your 2nd scenario clearly will lead to nowhere. It's built on lust. It lacks emotional intimacy and the necessary friendship as a base that is required for a lasting relationship. I also read you entire article and I have to disagree on some points, respectfully. Love has no boundaries, I agree. But most couples can't live with just "hand holding", even 20+ years into their relationship. That spark that ignites the fire and leads to passionate sex is the bond that glues the two souls. Relationship cannot survive without physical intimacy. People are different. Some have stronger needs than others. It really depends on individual libido. Couples who are medically challenged still find solutions to fuel their physical love. When people are deeply in love and have epic chemistry, the sex is explosively passionate and loving. Why would anyone desire to live without it?!
