Most people get more out of a relationship than sex.
- akiselev 4y agoI think most people don't internalize that fact until the emotional shock of their first big breakup.
- debesyla 4y agoBut with today's fluid relationship types - a classical couple relationship isn't needed as much, isn't it? And on top of that, a lot of problems that were before solved by having a partner (something breaking, don't know how to cook, just lonely and want to chat, etc) now can be solved by various businesses and services. I think that it's possible that for some people classical relationships aren't as optimal anymore.
- jl6 4y agoI think a lot of people are desperately unhappy and lonely and a classical relationship (either sexual, or simply close friendship) is exactly what is missing from their lives, and all the businesses and services that try to fill this gap aren’t cutting it.
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoThey aren't trying to fill the gap. Filling the gap would make the profits dry up.
- thfuran 4y agoNot if you fill it with a service rather than durable goods.
- togs 4y agoThey get the purchasing power to afford a mortgage.
- manquer 4y agoNot just that , Sometimes you get much less sex than not being in a relationship. Quality of sex can drop as well.
- thomastjeffery 4y agoI expect most people get more out of sex than sexual stimulation and orgasms. For one thing, there's the validation that someone is interested in having sex with you in the first place.
- throwawaysleep 4y agoFair. I have been told this before but keep forgetting.
