Topic: Does romantic love require a sexual attraction? | |
---|---|
this is a hypothetical scenario and a special circumstance, we are not talking about disfigured or dismembered! right. 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. I just hope it's not going to happen to me, I want that attraction 20 years later the same as the very first time, and I am going to make sure of that! |

I don't need any of that to maintain my attraction to the one I love, so instead of face lifts and tucks, I will make sure that no problems will come in and go unsolved and destroy the relationship! |

I don't intend to "twist" your ideas but wouldn't the foundation of a relationship come about in the...oh I don't know...beginning? |

that is kind of sad to me. I can't wait for the kind of love that comes from respect and dedication. I look forward to the kind of love born over 20 some years being together and not being tired of the other person. That kind of love, that kind of romance, has more going for it than any sort of lust or sexual ardor could muster. |

I don't "intend to twist your ideas" but wouldn't the foundation of a relationship come about in the...oh I don't know...beginning? a relationship should be built on MANY foundations not just one, and yes some of them come about in the begining and some will develope as you progress. |

Maybe u need to go back to the beginning of the conversation and read what you wrote. You sure did a 360. |

You sure did a 360. maybe because it is late you are not grasping what I am saying, yes sexual attraction is an important part of a relationship, however; it is one of many foundations a relationship will be built on, and mind you, an important one! |
