I originally down voted your post because I thought it was spam, but I changed my vote. There are many important aspects to relationships.
Many people chase after physical attractiveness and make that their main point of judgment when they are looking for someone to date. Though sex is part of relationships, it is only a very small percentage of what makes a healthy relationship a happy one. Happy relationships are created by choosing a personality that you are attracted to rather than a person you are attracted to. Surface looks may start a relationship with someone, but personality is what maintains a happy relationship. If the only thing the other person has to offer is looks, it will be a short lived relationship. Also, I think many people like constants. They like to feel safe. They like to be with someone they can trust and someone they can talk to and feel comfortable around. This post is about long term relationships, which consist of people finding well rounded reasons that they are together, not for purely physical reasons.
I think we are pretty much saying the same thing here. My view is that there are a lot of reasons that people get into relationships. Obviously sex is one of them. I feel that if people get into a relationship for purely physical reasons, they are missing a lot of the important parts about being in a relationship. In the context of a long-term loving relationship, sex should not be primary reason for the relationship's existence, but having it there is still an important part.
