Copulation is a need like food and water. Without it a relationship is less satisfying. You better be friends nalang and find someone else who is willing to risk it all.
Whether or not *** is "really that important" depends upon the individuals within the relationship. For some it is, for others it isn't.
Some people don't have any interest in ***.
Some people have low libido and are perfectly fine with little to no ***
Others aren't particularly fond of *** but are okay letting their partner see other people for their sexual needs
And others consider lack of regular *** a deal breaker for their relationship.
Yes. Diyan nasusubok kung may respeto kayo sa isat isa. Pano kung gusto mo pero ayaw niya or vice versa. Kung makakapag antay ka may tamang oras/panahon para diyan. Kung mangyayari man yun it means mahal niyo ang isat isa at buo ang tiwala niyo sa inyong pagsasama. Nasa tamang communication lang yan. Wag puro init ng katawan ang pairalin. Isipin mo din ang mararamdaman niya sa mga actions mo. Patience is a virtue.
