For me if I love a woman I absolutely have a sexual attraction for her to love a woman is to love all of her the sexual side and all the rest of her.

Love? What the hell is that? Love is a symbol of eternity that wipes away all sense of time, removing all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. Hope that helps ya there

Hope that helps ya there Sounds like an unobtainable fantasy to me. And another person is sopposed to make you feel like that? I get that from whiskey.

Not necessarily, but I'm sure it doesn't hurt it.

Does romantic love require a sexual attraction? initially then..?? I think a sexual attraction is a requirement in the beginning of a romantic relationship, whereas it is less necessary (though we all hope it doesn't fade) the longer you are together.

I think a sexual attraction is a requirement in the beginning of a romantic relationship, whereas it is less necessary (though we all hope it doesn't fade) the longer you are together. it is a pretty good indicator where the relationship stands, and if it starts to fade I think there is a problem somewhere!

Your context is off. We mean looks fade with age.

yes they go hand in hand. Something had to draw u to that person in the first place. If not sex appeal then what?

I'm talking about things that lessen your attraction to a person. it could be anything. a person gains weight loses their hair boobs sag butt droops and on and on at that point you have discovered other things about them that make them attractive to you. making physical attraction less of a requirement for romantic love.
