Plenty threads on love and such lately. I have never come to fully understand what lay the foundation for a strong relationship. One of the most important factors IMO must be physical attraction. Some in the know even claim it is THE most important piece. Good friendship is invaluable of course, but if the physical attraction is missing a good bit of the passion and magnetism is lost. Note I use the term physical attraction - not sexual ditto. It does not have to be hard core fancy hanky panky. Lusting after soft hugs and kissing is a major part.

In summary, I believe, if you no longer feel drawn to your partner physically, the relationship has lost a very important - if not most important- factor. Sure, many people claim, as they grow old, the physical attraction subsides a long with interest for sexual activities, but I donīt buy it all out. If you donīt even feel like holding your partner close to you anymore, it canīt be that good.

So, whats your take on this? Is sex the glue that holds people together?
