Calm and peace or mind-blowing sex, which is a bigger draw for you?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) November 1st, 2010

If you had the choice to be in a relationship were you were going to get one or the other, out of lots of great mind blowing sex but outside the bedroom you would have no comfort, no peace of mind. You had to go about your day wondering if you are being snooped on by your spouse, fending off arguments, not being trusted, etc., or a relationship where you were respected, treated with consideration and kindness, you were calm and comfortable but the sex was lukewarm and not frequent. Which would weight more for you, calmness and peace or mind-blowing sex and walking around on pins and needles?

I would take calm and respect each and every time. I would never stay in a relationship if I was being snooped on, fending off arguments, not being trusted. Trust and respect is everything in a relationship. IMO even lukewarm sex can be mind blowing! ;)

Constant stress or colossal boredom??Life is too short to settle for either.

CALM AND PEACE ANY DAY!

Calm and without stress. I guess these are both figurative anyway.

Calm and Peace.

Love is the cake; sex is the icing.

I’d rather have a cloud without a silver lining than no cloud at all.

I suspect the answers will be heavily age dependent with about 25 being the crossover point.

If I had to choose, give me Calm and Peace any day.

@ucme If you spent all your time boinking so you would not have time for the other you’d have to be independently rich because you could not hold a job; so what is the secret to becoming filthy rich?

@Hypocrisy_Central Fucked if I know.I mean my understanding was this was a purely hypothetical scenario. I answered accordingly.

@noelleptc Indeed it is, I mean making garters out of my guts, how ridiculous. Now if it were real, she’d probably fucking kill me.

@noelleptc How nice of you to share that.

Can I just cut my throat and be done with it? For me, a relationship with infrequent and tepid sex wouldn’t be calm, it would be filled with tension, anxiety and frustration- the balm of someone being respectful and trusting wouldn’t hold me for long, at least not at this point in my life. I don’t partner up to live a life of a monk or a nun, yet. The other scenario of lots of great sex but with drama, suspicion and fighting sounds too familiar so I’ll pass on that too. I’ll be out shooting shite up with @lucillelucillelucille.

Been there, done that. I’ll take the peaceful relationship. Having a drama-filled relationship eventually kills sexual desire.

I would take calm and peace. I have been around people who have made my life miserable. Nothing is worse suffering through things that people do to cause you trouble.
