TUDOR Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 I heard an interesting quote today on the radio. It said....In a happy relationship sex is only 10% of the relationship, In an unhappy relationship sex is 90% of the relationship. This can be argued many ways but I thought I would give it whirl around here and see what the LS has to say.
tiki Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 I'd say 5-10% ish. It's more of an issue if I'm not gettin any. Then I'm like 25%.
ImaManDammit Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 I don't think I'm happy with the term "happy" when used in this context. Do I think that sex has importance in a successful meaningful relationship? yes. What percentage? Right off the bat 10% (the feeling out period) As things get more formalized 90% (as part of discovery) Ongoing about 50% (longer term) Again I go back to my definition of a relationship. Its a great friendship which has erotisim, and for that I think its 50/50.
Author TUDOR Posted June 14, 2005 Author Posted June 14, 2005 I guess I'm having trouble with how to interpret the comment. I think when all other things in relationship are running smooth and you are happy then the sex life tends to be adequate and not an issue. But if things are rough and there are problems in the relationship than the sex tends to slip as well and there for becomes a bigger point of contention. Does that make more sense or does anyone see it being interpreted differently?
tiki Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 lol...definitely higher percentage in the beginning...no doubt!
Author TUDOR Posted June 14, 2005 Author Posted June 14, 2005 Sex is important no doubt, but if you think about your relationships there isn't all that much time given to sex. So its importance in the relationship ranks a very high % but its actually daily involvement in a relationship isn't all that much of a %.
moimeme Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 heard an interesting quote today on the radio. It said....In a happy relationship sex is only 10% of the relationship, In an unhappy relationship sex is 90% of the relationship. The quote has to do with the importance of sex to a relationship, meaning when you're having sex and you're happy, you don't think about sex that much. When you're not having sex or are unhappy, it becomes a huge issue for you and in the relationship. Or at least it is for some people. For some it's a deal-breaker. Others manage.
Mz. Pixie Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 For me it's 25%. Now, when I wasn't sexually attracted to my mate and having regular orgasms it wasn't that important. Now, it's vastly important. Different priorities at different times.
