Despite my overwhelming need for orgasm, I have a relatively low sex drive - three times per week is quite ok for me. My partner is the same. And frankly, I'm not sure whether it would be a problem if he would have wanted sex even rarer than that. I mean, sex is amazing and really important for the relationship, it's the cornerstone of your intimacy, but there's so much more to a relationship besides sex.

Let me put it this way - you can make sex better by working on the relationship, but you cannot make the relationship better with sex only.

I think it's very important to the relationship whether its once a month or once a day. The relationship is important and requires more than sex but without some sort of regular intimate togetherness someone in the relationship is going to start feeling unwanted or undesirable or any number of other emotions it might create, especially if you happen to go through a rough patch with fighting.
Sex shouldn't be the forefront or basis of the relationship because it won't last that way. From personal experience no matter how good the relationship might be and how much you love each other fights ensue because of a lack of intimate connections which then leads to more fighting about petty little things.

Sex is extremely important for a relationship. It creates that intimate bond that only you share with your partner. However it’s only part of a bigger puzzle. We’re all wired differently and have to learn to compromise.

Three times a week is low

I think for many couples it's more important to the man. Women have other priorities. Men think with their penises. In general. Although women do get in a frisky mood every now and then.

It varies for me and wifey. Sometimes we can't get our hands off each other, and we have sex a few times a day. And then nothing for two or three weeks. Sometimes she doesn't want it, sometimes I don't. She doesn't want it more often, maybe, but still, I can relate. We have sort of a sporadical need. I guess it's fine until we are both happy

Maybe it is. But I still feel content and happy with my partner, and so is he. I do feel weird if it's rarer than two-three times a week, and I feel damn thirsty and not myself if it's more than a week of draught. But otherwise I think if it's enough for us, it's ok

My partner and I both have very high sex drives so for us it's pretty well worked with BUT it's not what it's all for with us. We can go upwards of a week without but it doesn't mean we REALLY want to, sometimes it just happens.

We have enough understanding of each other to know when is the right time to press or lean on to sexy time and when to not to.

More importantly to us its about communication. Usually before or after sex we're talking about more intimate things, babies, worries, our upcoming wedding etc. Yes sex is important but taking those little times like that to communicate is what really keeps him and I together. Making sure our needs are met all around is what we really look forward to.

I will however say that if there was a point where we no longer had sex there would have to be an actual reason behind it or it will start to push such sexually driven beings like myself and my partner apart.

I do agree with many of the posts here. A relationship with sex is fantastic but when it just turns into sex with no connection other wards what's really the point?

Yeah. Anytime the wait for whatever reason is too long the fire has to be quenched big time.

I agree with Gypsie Angel (& others) above.

I would add that the stage of the relationship matters.

The further along you get, the more of your life you share with your spouse.

And even people who have a lot of sex average 20x more time with their spouse not having sex - so if you can't connect outside the bedroom....well....

Also - as a man I do want a connection, but I can "take care of business" myself and then enjoy the rest of the relationship if need be.

For me it's extremely important, I love the connection with my husband. And not to mention I just absolutely love sex. Maybe a little too much. My husband definitely gets frustrated with how much I'd like it.

I think sex is important in a relationship but if you arent having it I dont think that is a reason to end the relationship just because of that. I think that people should work on their relationship first and try to fix it even though they may not be having sex. So its not the only important thing in a relationship in my opinion. But if I could I would have sex all the time with the person that I love.

Sex is probably one of if not the most important thing, it grows your relationship emotionally spiritually and sexually
