Good girls and nice guys are not meant to place a high priority on sex as a marriage objective.

What is that supposed to mean? Nice guys and good girls enjoy sex as much as the next person.

Also the results of this poll scare me, almost half people don't think sex is essential? Keep me away from these people!

As someone else mentioned I think that physical intimacy and closeness (including sex) are pretty much wired into us as a need. I know I'm generally not as happy being single as I am when I'm seeing someone.
Not that I can't be happy being single but after a few months I start to miss it.

I would have to say that it's not at all a basic human need or on the same level as food for me, otherwise I would've dropped dead a long time ago.

It is an inextricable part of my relationship and I would not be without it. But while it never "wears off" I do not think I would call it a total necessity in that I can go periods without it at all. It does not have to be regular or constant - it just has to be there as part of my relationship.

Whether in the future - especially with old age - this requirement will modify over time I do not know. But that is how it is now.

Lack of sex is a major reason why I divorced my ex. Yes, it is essential to me.

It's overrated and very sad that it's become the most important thing to many people these days.
