It’s a commonly believed notion that men are only ever interested in a relationship for the ***. 

Having been reduced to nothing but ***-crazed beings who are often accused of thinking with their d**ks instead of their brains, men have garnered an infamous reputation of valuing only what happens under the sheets.

But because all it takes to dirty an entire pond are a few fish and a misunderstood perspective, we decided to seek the answer to the long-asked question ourselves - ‘how important is *** to stay in a relationship?’

Here is what they had to say:

1. “I think lack of physical chemistry in a relationship might eventually lead you to cheat, which is why I would say *** is as important as any other factor for a stable and sustaining relationship.” - Gavin.

2. “For me, it’s more about the intimacy than the act of ***. It matters more to me if I feel connected to my partner, as opposed to feeling so just in bed. So, overall, I’d say it plays a role, but it wouldn’t be a deal-breaker for me.” - Mehul.

3. “Honestly, I’ve been there, done that, and I’ve come to a realization that *** is overrated. To me, it’s not at all important, because there is so much more to a relationship than just ***. There are things like understanding, communication, building a life together, these are what really matter, whereas *** is just another need that doesn’t have to be equated with trust issues. I feel love and lust are two completely different things and if there is love, the latter would never become a deal-breaker.” - Sowrav.

4. “I think intimacy is extremely important in sustaining a relationship whereas ***, not too much. But I also believe that not having the right sexual chemistry may just create problems and distance between two people in the long run.” - Mansij.

5. “*** creates a bond between two people, that is more than just physical. It is emotional and to a level, spiritual. And when there is a lack of sexual chemistry, it keeps you from experiencing the relationship in its entirety. Which is I look at *** as more of a way to bond with your partner, than just the raw act.” - Raghav.

6. “When the relationship is fairly new, *** becomes one of the most important things to judge a partner on, because so early on in the relationship you don’t know much else. If the *** isn’t good, chances are most people wouldn’t want to go further to explore.” - Rishabh.

7. “It kinda depends on the relationship, sometimes the only thing that binds together is *** but in some relationships even if you have a spell dry for a long time nothing changes the love is still there. I have had platonic relationships also and its sort of the best ones.” - Ishaan.

8. “If it’s healthy *** coming from a place of wanting to please rather than being pleased and if both parties are doing it, then it also manifests into better emotional communication and understanding and makes it easier to be vulnerable.” - Hardik.

9. “A relationship anyway invites a lot of stress and *** is supposed to be a release, a stress buster. Which makes it all the more special and important to have comfort in. Not to forget the post-*** cuddles which are just as important to forge a bond.” - Saurav.
