how important is sex in a relationship.

I was thinking about this...
....how important is sex in a relationship.....
I always thought that sex is secondary....its the feelings, the intimacy that's really important.....
without feelings and emotions, the intimacy, the final act of a man inside a woman becomes meaningless, it becomes disgusting......

I feel there is a lot of difference between sex and love making....

I hate it when someone calls the most important, beautiful ,intimate act between a man and woman as just sex.
Its love making.. its expression of deep need, love, concern and affection..
its the ultimate expression of a number of feelings...especially TRUST...... its more than love....its complete surrender to your partner.. you allow yourself the freedom to show your most vulnerable self, your true self.
its amazing!

There are commercial sex workers....for them sex is work....no emotion...no feeling.. only the act of physical release, for the man.
i dont know, but whn i think of the word sex, i think of that...a man satisfying his need for sex, with a woman who feels that it is a means of making some money....its not easy money as many people feel.
i think,its the most difficult money.....to sell your body as compensation to live on this earth.
