The web is still too impersonal for some matters. Maybe I'm a prude.

But those details are still going to wait until personal familiarity has developed.

I think sex is a very important aspect in just about every long term relationship. It isn't a requirement for some people but I think it is for me. At least it has been so far. That doesn't mean it has to be 100% compatible but satisfying at least. Sometimes making your partner happy can be as fulfilling as making yourself 100% satisfied.

Generally - if there isn't some sort of mutual attraction, I don't see a relationship getting off the ground. And then beyond that, I need to genuinely like the person - or not much else is likely. That said - I would wish to find out more personal aspects of someone face-to-face, not from a profile. And I've found those details have a way of revealing in good time - as people open to one another. Then there's this interesting process - the more I like someone, and they like me, the more likely we are to end up lovers as well. And after that, the time sex becomes truly important is when there isn't any !

For myself, I would say yes. The lack of good sex, or just sex in general, fueled the end of my marriage. My wife was rarely interested. Having been together for a long time and raising kids together I tried to focus on other aspects of life and the relationship that were more stronger. Now that we are separated and moving toward divorce, I look forward to finding someone that I am more compatible and comfortable with.

Very important! Relationship starts with that physical/ animal attraction, than the rest falls in the place. Or does not.

It's always a plus but, it's not a singular determining factor. Just like having a mate who can cook is a plus but, if they can't, I can. That's not a reason to throw the whole relationship under the bus.

I think it's essential. Either romantic partners need to have direct compatibility, or they need some consensual allowance for one (or both) to seek out elsewhere whatever's lacking. If there's significant sexual disparity otherwise, I'm afraid it eventually undermines the relationship.

I would have to say that it is very important to me, the most important part would be to be comfortable with intimacy and to not have a lot of sexual baggage. The only real way to know that you are sexually comparable is to actually have sex, you can talk about it until you are blue in the face but without the act it means nothing. so, putting it in your profile seems to be of little value unless you are into some kind of kink that is not that common.

Sexual compatibility is VERY important, but I would prefer discussion of details to be kept private.

I've learned I cannot have a relationship with a man that I'm not physically attracted to. If the sex isn't good, I can't force myself to look past it.
I've tried being "more evolved" and focusing more on the intellectual aspects of a relationship, but it's never worked. If the "spark" isn't there, neither am I.

It is extremely important. I have attempted relationships where I didn’t have strong physical attraction. It was unfair to both of us. I need to be obsessed with my partner because I don’t want to be one of them boyfriends who are always checking out other women.

I can only speak for myself... I believe in animal attraction and in scent of a woman. When my marriage went down the drain sex was the last thing to end. But if a number of other things don't go well between me and my partner... sex may be the last thing to go but won't stop the end. Chemistry of mind, body, soul or spirit or conscience will be needed... but don't get me wrong... Nothing more Beautiful than Making Whoopee with a Compatible Being... I Mean Serious WHOOPEE is Going to Happen!!!

Well we've had surveys on kinkiness, discussed long-distance vs local, and talked about sexual preferences. You can put it in your profile or post a question receiving responses. I agree it would be nice if those parties who are interested in relationships should complete their profiles.

i believe that a healthy sexual relationship is essential for the relationship to be fun and resilient. i think that needs to be a part of the building a relationship effort not a part of the posted profile.
