I think it is. Or it definitely increases the love between the couple. Your thoughts?

Not necessarily!!!

This is a funny game

Love>sex

I don't like sex without love, it's meaningless. Some people don't like attachments so sex without love is ideal for them.

It is

Sex is fun and all but when you do it with someone you love it is so more special and should be a huge part of that intimacy, so yes

You can be in a romantic relationship with someone without sex, and you can have sex without love.

hsi

Some answers here are really meaningful.

Is sex a part of love within a marriage?
Is sex a part of love outside of marriage?

That’s true

love must come first and sex will follow

the later

🤦‍♂️ i mean the former

Everything is part of love, even fighting.

Love should be the escence when having sex. Sex is a way to connect with another person, to share emotions, and by that share the body. A mental connection also happens and then we are bound more to our partners when sharing intimacy.
Nowadays sex has become more superficial and this opportunity to really connect has been reduced to frictional meaningless encounters...This at the end leave people less horny but emotionally empty.

SEX...is how animals reproduce. (yes, we are animals (certainly not plants)

Human beings possess intelligence and culture. We are social animals and we build our 'world' around our social culture.

Part of this social culture is love for one another and love for our mate greater than our love for others.

Most people in their prime adulthood are driven by a need to reproduce. We date, marry and build our families with love as a guiding principle to our reproduction needs.

From the animal nature of the human being, love is not necessary for sex or the reproduction of our species.

From the society standpoint of being a person who values love, many people link love and sex together. Its a societal baseline we adopted as social creatures.

Thru ones life there are many reasons why we no longer have a drive to reproduce. This doesn't mean we never want sex anymore. Sex feels good.
Its supposed to.

So, sex is part of love and love is part of sex for the most part but there are circumstances when those two values do not combine and that's normal as well.

You can love someone but not desire sex with them.
You can have sex with someone but never form a loving bond with them.

Many marriages end because the love bond fades away but they also end when the sex is no longer pleasing with that person.

Many things in life affect our libidos. Stress, Rx drugs, health, hygiene, lifestyles and age.

Once you have reproduced to fill your needs, sex is a pleasurable activity many people continue to do. When you or you partner are no longer trying to fulfill an imperative or animalistic need to reproduce sometimes one might want to end the relationship to have sex as pleasure only. Sadly, many people don't do this right and hurt the ones who love ya. It can get pretty bad.

If you gotta have sex with someone else, be an adult and end the relationship without hurting the other. If you play games with the heart, bad things happen.

You are absolutely right

100%

No

The only sex I've had I had to pay for and I'm pretty sure that wasn't love
