1. Passion, Passion, Passion

The best relationship you can have is with someone who’s your best friend and your lover. If you’re in a relationship that’s become sex-less, you might as well be dating just a friend. Yes, it’s that simple. Relationships need passion. They need excitement and sexiness. Having sex with your partner keeps the passion alive. It makes the relationship desirable, stimulating, and fun.

2. Stress-Free

Having sex helps relieves stress. It releases endorphins and other hormones that make you feel good. When you’re stress free and feel great, you function better.

3. Keeping the Connection Alive

Sex is something simple you can do to make yourself (and your partner!) very happy. It promotes intimacy, reassurance, and shows you both that you’re wanted and needed. It tells your partner that you can still make time for each other. Sex a form of communication. It’s a way of assuring your significant other that the love is still there and everything is okay, regardless of how stressful life becomes.

4. Sleep Tight

Sex helps you sleep better. It’s not just the fabulous romp session that makes you sleep like a baby. After sex, a chemical called oxytocin is released, which helps you sleep soundly.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. It Makes You Happy

People who have sex very often are generally happier than those who don’t. Having sex puts an extra pep in your step. It also boots your self-confidence and gives you a better positive attitude about yourself.

6. Keeps Your Partner Happy

When men are stressed, sex makes them feel better. It makes them feel wanted and needed. Plain and simple, having sex makes a man feel good about himself. If you’re in a sex-less relationship, your partner isn’t 100% satisfied. It’s a no-brainer that if he isn’t happy with your sex life, he’s going to start looking for sex from someone else.

Sex is the glue that’s needed in a relationship. It re-connects you and puts you in tune with your partner. Sex keeps your relationship alive. Don't you agree?

What a bunch of uptight women. Get a clue. Sex matters. Get laid.

Anyone that talks about young girls being influenced by this is stupid. For one no one of an age younger 18 should even be having sex in the first place. Regardless of whether their reading this or not. And 2. At an age like that, sex shouldn't even be considered. I totally agree with this article, sex is extremely important. It is human nature to seek pleasure and to prohibit this is actually wrong. In a relationship, it can definitely make it a hell of a lot better, it makes you and your partner more than just 'friends' because you've found intimacy and a connection that you don't have with anyone else. It may not be the be all and end all but it is definitely one of the most important parts in a relationship

@Danielle, I agree with you. If a someone is under 18, try shouldn't be having sex.

Last time I checked it was called allWOMENstalk and a woman wrote this for women.

This may be true - and I appreciate your opinion but I'd like to point out that asexuals are people that aren't sexually attracted to others but may be involved romantically so sex is not necessary in a loving relationship though as you rightly said it does spice it up and can enhance it.

Good article, it is the glue for relationships, even when it might not end up in your favour (I.e. She doesn't orgasm!) it's still fun to get close to your partner!! And by the looks of all ye girls commenting here.. Ye probably haven't gotten it in a while...!! You don't need to live by or agree to these, their just guidelines, not the be all and end all of your world ladies!! Lighten up, and have a bit of fun with your partner..!

All so true...sex is a wonderful and fulfilling connection between two people

Agreed - you know sex is important when even during conflict you both still want the intimacy despite the lack of an immediate resolution- it's a biggy!

Lasr time I checked it was called allWOMENstalk and a women write thus for women.

I completely disagree with this article, yes sex can spice up a relationship but it is not the all that ends all in a relationship. Passion and happiness can be strong in a relationship with sex. Their are many relationships that strive om being sexless as the choice of the man or the women and they are happy. Futuremore many youth follow this blog/app and telling them the importance of sex in a relationship is not right. It could lead to some wrong decisions being made. Sex does not truly equate to happiness.
