To me it's mostly trust. Someone you can rely on will have your back, and support you, and not sell you out the moment the grass is greener on the other side..and not even after it has been greener on the other side for a while, while you've fallen on hard times. And intimacy, I suppose...I see intimacy as something completely different from sex itself. Sex can be less intimate than a handshake.Bara_no_Hime said:So yeah... words are failing me. But then, for me, friendship is the most important aspect to a relationship. That and sex. But it's different than friends with benefits. ... because emotions? That's all I got.
And, well, sex...we have a saying here, if sex is good, it's 10% of a relationship, if it's bad, it's 90%. Sometimes that rang eerily true.
