Sex and relationship

This is a topic of contention. Many people confuse sex with love but come to think of it if someone in a relationship does not ask for intimacy are they really inlove with you? What is the role of sex in a relationship? Can a relationship exist without intimacy?

Most times we have heard people complain to have been dumped after sex well if sex is important what went wrong? Other times people leave relationship because they have been denied intimacy so does it mean that those individuals view sex as a key factor that hold a relationship?

According to some, Sex can be an important part of a relationship, but having sex less frequently does not always mean your relationship is any less satisfying. I know you are asking yourself what does sex contribute to a strong relationship? You are in the right place.

The oxytocin released during sex enhances a sense of bonding and improves emotional intimacy. Bonding is very vital for any relationship to withstand its challenges. This is probably the reason why it’s hard for people to move on after a break up. Now you know the reason you are still thinking about your ex.

Sex increases your level of commitment and emotional connection with the other person consequently increasing the likelihood of couples staying together. This must be the reason why it’s hard to move on from a person you already had intimacy with as compared to a person you were never intimate. Think of it this way, you can easily end a friendship and not think twice but when it comes to relationship it’s hard to walk away.

Research has come up with other benefits of sex including increased levels of happiness as it reduces irritability level, reducing stress levels and is also a form of exercise among many others.

Even though we give much credit to sex for a stable relationship, there are other ways of building a strong relationship. You can give him or her sex day and night but they will still walk away reason being there is more into a relationship than sex. Helping each other achieve goals is very important in any relationship. This is because it brings you closer to each other and makes you feel important.

Engaging in recreational activities together as a couple is another form of creating a lasting bond. In the process you create memories that will last for a very long time.

Lastly, what you contribute to a relationship depends on what you agree on. Being in a relationship blindly will ruin what would have been a good relationship. Communication is very important so as to know what your partner plans to achieve from dating you.
