Intimacy or Sex?

What is more important in a close relationship? Intimacy or sex?

For my gf Claire & I hugs cuddles & kisses are more important as sex to us is secondary

 

Thanks whoever moved this thread - after I posted it Gamesroom I realised wrong section so I tried to move or delete but no option to do either

 

intimacy, but sex can be part of that, it depends who you're with

 

I have always heard women prefer intimacy and men prefer sex. I personally prefer sex but I can see how others would not, especially if they are older couples with children.

 

For me, both are equally important. I wouldn't settle for any relationship where I wasn't happy with both of those areas.

I think too many people underestimate how important sex can be, so they settle for someone with a different sex drive then their own. That can be a huge mistake.
