The other day I was talking to a friend of mine about her strained relationship with her boyfriend. She mentioned that they hadn't had sex in some time, but that didn't seem to bother her.
And that's no the only time I've heard people express an ambivalence about sex in a relationship. That concept is foreign to me. I can't imagine sex not being a vital and very large part of a romantic relationship, but I'm learning that it's not so for all people.
So, how important it sex to you? Why? Why not?
If you were in a relationship with someone you otherwise loved very much, and for whatever reason you were no longer physically intimate, would this change the nature of your feelings? Would you seek gratification elsewhere? Is that ever acceptable?
Can I ask more questions at once?
