Sex in a relationship is deal breaker if you are young but ready to settle down and start a family. I too tried to stick it out (so to speak) as long as possible with my boyfriend but not only was I missing the intimacy but I also had to think about the future and me eventually wanting kids after marriage. With his particular "performance problem", I knew that it would make it much much more difficult if we were to try procreate the natural way. It causes more stress and tension in the relationship especially if he is doing the whole "I am Man, hear me roar" tough guy thing and not willing to admit that there is a problem and get the problem fixed himself.
Depends. New partner....1-2 months, not quite in love with the person, I'd definately leave. No point in going into a relationship when something clearly is wrong from the start.
Long time partner....with serious reason. Definately no complaints for lack of sex. With no reason, I will complain and try to fix it. But I doubt it would make me leave the person. I am in such a situation right now, and sadly, other parts of the relationship are starting to be bad because of the frustration that lack of sex produces. But since I know there's nothing physically wrong with him, I won't be close to giving up till I know I've tried anything to make this better.
I agree with the others. New relationship, just starting off...nope. Things no worky, I'm outta there. No point in it for me.
Married or in a long-term, then I'm going to look for solutions. Don't think I could leave someone that I truly loved, but I would do everything I could to get things working again.
In a heartbeat. Not because of "performance" issues, but because for some, once the "need" is gone, so is everything else. He/She does not care about romance, closeness, relationship.
Yes.
A relationship is not based on sex but I try to remove things from a relationship which would create temptation to cheat.
Some people are not sexual people and no sex would be fine with them, others are not built that way. So again- you gotta go if you can't do anything.
I knew married couples who never had sex together and are very happy couples. They are very physical affectionate to each other, but wanted to live a life without sex. So it can be done and still be happy.

I can not get to love with out good sex. That is how I show affection. Sex puts me in a place where I have to let go and free my mind. I was in a relationship like this and I left.
It would depend on the circumstance and the extent of the inability to perform.
If, say, she got cervical cancer and, after recovering, having sex would be for some reason too painful from that point forward for her, I would stay with her because vaginal intercourse just is not the ne plus ultra of the relationship. She can still use her hands and her mouth and I can use my mouth on her. As long as she can still kiss and I can use my mouth to get her off then I'm good.
