Sex or love?

Amazing sex but not real long lasting love or
good sex, if not as often as liked but proper stick-by-you-through-everything-love?

Love for me

crimsonpetal · 26/10/2010 22:55

love

arabella2 · 26/10/2010 22:56

love definitely - I struggle to understand why dh and I still have good sex (the rare occasions that we do) even though we spend the rest of the time hardly liking let alone loving each other - so yes - LOVE - where you could talk about a lot of things to each other without feeling judged, where you felt liked 99% of the time and where you just really enjoyed each other's company...

I choose love too but if I was single,that will defo be sex and plenty of it !

Frrrrightattendant · 27/10/2010 11:39

I would say it depends on how you feel about the person who loves you. Not thinking of your particular situation, but mine...I couldn't be with the one who loves me if I don't love him, and the sex is just automatically good if you are really in love with someone.

So if you love a person and they only fancy you, it's still going to be nice having sex with them. But if they love you and you don't fancy them, or love them, it won't be any good.

Love has to be present for the sex to be what I'd call good.

Love - with sex being the lovely place the two of you go together.

I don't think sex with a DP that doesn't love you is to be recommended.

Are we just talking about love and a relationship or bonking with no relationship - or both? Confused now. On second thoughts, love.Smile

primrose22 · 27/10/2010 12:14

Both please Smile

jinx1 · 27/10/2010 12:18

I had both now it's just sex without love... Not the same :(

FreakoidOrgansandBloodoid · 27/10/2010 12:21

LOVE LOVE LOVE

I want it.

MalificenceBloodandSand · 27/10/2010 12:30

I don't think that being "in love" makes sex good automatically - but then I also think you can have fantastic sex without either of you having an orgasm Wink. Great sex doesn't have to be about orgasms every time, being orgasm driven can make you lose focus on the real pleasure of sex.

I read this piece of advice once and think it holds true - for every 10 sessions of sex, 2 will be mind blowingly amazing , 6 will be good and 2 will make you wonder why you bothered. Grin

JodiesMummy · 27/10/2010 12:50

Has to be both for me or I wont go there Grin

madonnawhore · 27/10/2010 12:59

I refuse to compromise on either Grin

80sMum · 27/10/2010 13:03

George Sand sums it up for me.

"There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved".

"Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness."

Love is what matters most. Smile

happiestblonde · 27/10/2010 13:10

Love

I don't think I really enjoyed sex much before DP and I've never really been in love before - I think there's a correlation.

phipps · 28/10/2010 07:18

I am totally in love with my husband and I know he loves me. I also really love having sex with him can't believe I am telling you this.-- but wonder if I am getting mixed up about things. SadConfused
