Is Romance Important to You or Is it All About the sex?

Well Litsters, some like a little romance, some the intimacy and some just flat out want the sex only. If this thread has done nothing else, I hope it has opened the possibility that the physical connects to the inner person in some capacity. Thank you to all who have contributed.
 
I definitely come down on the romance side of this question. I think even in encounters where the intention of both parties is casual sex, romance matters. As @Ingenue844 says - romance makes you cum harder.

And I don't mean the trivialities of romance, I mean the connection of romance. Anyone can buy a nice set of flowers - not everyone can give you those little gifts that say "I know you, I get you, and I appreciate you." And those gifts might be things or they might be as simple as time spent in good conversation.

I used to believe the harder you fuck, the harder you cum.
I know better now.
 
I'm the type that is always in need of touching. When walking in public, even if we're not holding hands, I need to be touching her in some way. A caress of her arm...hand on the small of her back...hand caressing her neck and shoulders...hand on her thigh. If I were with a woman that didn't enjoy being touched - a lot - the relationship wouldn't last very long. My goal is to provide a large amount of pleasure - in even the simplest of ways. And that carries over to sex.

Romance is very important. At least my thinking about what I consider to be romantic is, anyway.
 
In rl, yes, romance is important. Here, no, because that's not what I'm here for. I'm not looking for a deep, special connection with a one special person. And neither am I looking for the sex side actually.
The issue I have with here, online, is that you can throw me all the smooth lines you want that you think is romantic or flattering or whatever, but I don't believe them and it's far more likely to make me cringe and back away. This is just me and my hang ups, it's not about you.
In my eyes, romance is not about flowers or cute name calling, it's throwing me a funny meme to make me smile when you've remembered that I briefly referred that today was going to be a tough one.

And my god, romance should not be used to try and access sex either online or rl. Yes, the chances of sex (or my throwing you back a sexy pic) is raised, but that's because you made me relax in your company without the indication that you're hoping for sex.


TL;DR
Romance doesn't work for me online. My poor husband is still trying to figure out how it works in rl, after nearly 25 years of marriage.

Knowing what the person likes definitely goes a long way for that romantic connection. Romance doesn't need to lead to sex but should look to connect with that person's inner soul no matter what level of an encounter or relationship one seeks to establish.

Genuine truth
 
I can't remember the last time I had both.
Genuinely!

Truth is, finding both sex and romance is rare.
Plus, romance hurts more. The minute you trust someone enough to let them romance you, the more likely you are to be hurt.
 
There's a story behind every behind every person,
If you're willing to look for it then listen.
