Sex is nice. Very nice. Verrrrrrrrrrrry nice. I like sex. Me and my woman have an amazing sex life. I wouldn't say we've got abnormally high libidos though.
What goes on in the bedroom stays in the bedroom so no details here, but in a general sense I'd say sex is one aspect of a relationship that, ideally, should fit comfortably alongside the other parts.
F'rinstance, I like just spending time with my wife. I like a cuddle on the sofa when we're watching a movie. Sometimes we just talk. We share all our experiences, both in and outside the home. Our work, our triumphs, our tragedies......Everything.
A relationship is a multi-faceted diamond and sex is one part of that.... a very important and pleasurable part, but a part nonetheless. A fulfilling and mutually satisfying sex life is important, but on its own it can't sustain a relationship.
Any couple whose relationship is founded only on the basis that they're good in the sack together, is usually doomed to be a short lived flame.
But if a happy and satisfying sex life exists inside a broadly well balanced wider relationship, then that is the best of all possible worlds, in my opinion.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
