Paradigms of sex in a relationship?

[GrrlFriday]

Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts. I really appreciate it.

What are some paradigms about what sex is in a relationship?

As a 'marital duty', in which sex is a need of your partner's that you need to fulfill? (and your body belongs to your partner...)

A way to show affection to your partner?

How do you think about what sex is in a relationship? Why?

Anyone who uses the word 'paradigm' outside of a corporate boardroom while surrounded by other executards can fuck off.

You forgot to say they should get divorced.

A Felix post without the divorce suggestion is like a eunuch without a scar.

Sex is a pleasure as well as an obligation. It must be discussed before moving in together. There is no obligation is not married or agreeing to be exclusive. Once you set up an exclusive sexual relationship then you are obliged to satisfy your partner's needs. If there is any doubt or absence of a discussion about sex, needs, desires, play, etc. then you are definitely NOT ready to live together. No excuse for stupid.

Sex can't "make" a relationship...but it can break one.

It's a primal need that demands filling. When the desire is not fulfilled it leaves space for resentment, then anger and eventually the love is the last to go.

I agree with you!!
