Sex is an important part of a relationship for many people. Would you end it if a new partner couldn't perform?

I've been in this position, and my honest answer to this is "it depends".

maybe, but it really depends. If they are not interested in sex or have a very low libido then forget it. If they are just inexperienced but eager to learn then I don't think it's much of an issue.

No , never. Sex is wonderful and a lovely part of a relationship but to me Love , intimacy and fun is far more important.

Let's face it there is quite a lot of a physical relationship you can have without having full sex.

I have been with my fiance for almost 20 years now and I think we love each other far too much and are far too in tune to solely rely on sex.

I would miss sex but it's not that important. In the end I value our relationship far too much.

I would be far more lost he wasn't around. Sex is sex. It's fun, pleasurable and great but it's not everything.

It does not compare with tenderness, affection, years of trust and memories, shared laughter and even painful moments. He is my soul mate and his physical ability to perform sexually is not why I am with him.

That would just be shallow.

No. I doubt lack of sexual activity would ever be a deal-breaker for me.

it would be very difficult, because im still young and sex is a real important part of our relationship at this point.Ive been with my wife for 5 years, and we still act like newlyweds, but i love her too much, to ever leave her due to the fact that she couldnt perform anymore!

I can say that the man was the love of my life.

Talk about conflicted interests....
