Question

How has the importance of a physical relationship changed for you over the decades?

Answer 1

Well for me it is at the bottom of the list... for my husband it is at the top...so if i would like to stay happily married...their in lies the COMPROMISE....ahhh...married life! gotta love it! oh and the difference in libido's!

Answer 2

I began my adult life believing sensitivity, caring, sharing,

good conversation,  and frequent laughter were most important.

Lost my way for a bit.

Came back to the importance of those same five attributes.

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time." - T.S Eliot

Answer 3

    It meant a lot at first, it, like cemented the relationship ? Now, I can say, it was a bunch of c**p, to say the least. If I could go back and cement my relationship in a more meaningful way. Hugs and thoughts instead of just s*x all the time, like I was trying to wear it out.

Answer 4

yes at the start its all about physical stuff but as time passes something changes and its more about friendship and love i suppose.

Answer 5

I have always maintained that I could live without s*x

but not without love and affection.

As you get older you realise which is most important.
