Familiarity breeds contempt. Marriage would ruin a something perfectly sexable. If I desired sex, I'd keep in touch. I'd probably find something better to not marry, however.

No, I want and deserve more out of a relationship than just sex. And if there is nothing else there- nothing in common, no affection, I am not going to find out how great this person is at sexing anyhow.

I wouldn't engage in a romantic relationship with someone I have no sexual compatibility (this includes the never having sex option of all the other polls around).
I wouldn't engage in a romantic relationship with someone I have no other compatibility (this includes the only sex nothing else of this poll option).
I wouldn't engage in a romantic relationship with someone I have no political compatibility.
I wouldn't engage in a romantic relationship with someone I have no philosophical compatibility.
I wouldn't engage in a romantic relationship with someone I have no ethical compatibility.
etc.

My relationships are holistic and involve multiple vectors of compatibility.

No way. I can't possibly imagine a situation where this would be a great idea.

There are some things your partner is just not going to do with you. There are benefits to having the same partner over a long period of time, you know... there are more things you're willing to try. Besides, sex after a long day (or night) of doing things you both enjoy is going to be just so much better.

I can't really imagine one person being so good at sex that they couldn't stand to learn more, and having a long-term relationship with sex means you'll always be a little bit more experienced than the last time. Doesn't that sound like fun?

Nah. I'd rather someone with whom I can share common interests with and relish being around as opposed to just getting some great physical relief and nothing more.

Sex is good, but it's only a small piece to an otherwise bigger picture.

I would not.

I'd keep her number in my phone, though.
Damn right. If I was going to get married, it would be for other reasons. Though I will admit that great sex would be a definite plus.

You always get bored of sex with the same person eventually, no matter how good it is. It might take 6 months or 10 years, but it happens..

In conventional marriage, that's meant to be when the relationship itself takes over and it becomes a kind of mutual partnership which makes up for the loss of sex.

Personally, I don't plan on getting married anyway. Why? Couldn't I just have sex with this person anyway until we got bored of each other and then move on to someone else?

Seeing as I have had a girlfriend who was awesome in the sack and real "trophy wife" material before I'd have to say no simply because they are most often defunct in the brain and after a while I could barely stand her for more than 20-40 mins at a time let alone the rest of my life.

The person looks good enough for you, and the sex is amazing. And you both get your fill daily/weekly whatever. Basically he or she completely kept you sexually satisfied.

Other than that, the other person and you didn't share any interest. You don't hate each other, but don't necessarily like them and when not wanting sex, they basically stay out of your way and don't bother you.

How would you feel about that?

*Update*
Lets suppose a 2 or 3 month dating period, but after that the person demands marriage if you want to keep up the sexual whirlwind.
From my point of view you just described a "Friend with benefits" - she wouldn't agree.

No. I'd prefer that she match my personality as well as my sexual preferences. And if was only sex, I'd be sore all the time (TMI, people?).

No, sexual quality as the more or less sole reason to stay in a relationship is always the death knell for any couple. There are plenty of girls I have fantastic sex with, but we'd all make terrible partners for each other.
