How important is sex really?


When you are young and have a strong sex drive question seems so obvious you might joke and reply, Is a trick question?

For some sex is a clear and present desire lasts a lifetime.

But for many people sex is no big deal. True. If you are not one of these people you may find it hard to believe. I have met and talked with actual people who do not think sex is important for themselves or others.

My point is non-sexual people exist and are allowed to exist, but should not marry sexual people. The incompatibility causes major problems.

A related issue is sex drive changes over time. If the spouse used to enjoy sex and then loses the desire age 50 or 60, then what do you do if you still crave intercourse?

This problem is not just one hits women, as some men just lose the loving feelin

If the wife gives on sex and the husband stops using his sex, he may lose the ability to have sex. In biology, use it or lose it. Atrophy affects muscles and nerves...

Who knew sex was such a complicated thing?

I prefer to use it rather than lose it.

i think its more complicated than that. my last lover was a delight in bed she loved it anytime was very loving and affectionate hated clothes and all holes were open for pleasure and fun. she swallowed and wanted sex as much as possible and was multi orgasmic front and back, loved toys etc.

then

she started to use meth again and set our home to be robbed so she could get more meth

i live alone again.....

things to think about. sex is wonderful but what do you add to your life to have it

We are taught what sex is and how it is performed, especially the dangers involved (pregnancy, STDs, hair on our palms, etc), but we are left to our own devices to understand what sexual desire or drive is and how it manifests throughout our lives and across genders.

Add to this deficiency our extended life expectancy (little-charted waters) and the myriad prescriptions that have unknown impacts on desire.

Then top that with a cultural idea of hyper sexuality as norm and the going can be very confusing. We might know what we feel, but even then, we have to grope in the dark to find out what others feel or think or are (Oh, that feels nice!).

Sex can get to be so hedged with problems you can understand why some give up the quest as there is more work than fun attached.
