Prester Scott: People who can only think of sexuality when they think of love are beneath contempt.

I just wanted to point out that, yes! Love does not have to be sexual to be real and meaningful, and the one does not imply the other. This is a point that I hold to, and try to convey. Love does not have to be erotic.

As someone who has almost been married and is not a virgin, I think I offer a different perspective. Sex can be a great way to express affection, that's true. But when having sex within a relationship, if there is trouble with the relationship, I can tell you from frst hand experience that your sexual life is merely a reflection of your intimacy (non sexual) and the other aspects of the relationship. And in this way, is has nothing to do with love. I loved someone very much once but when we developed lots of problems (even before we recognized the problems) the sexual aspect of the relationship no longer exists (and I still love him now, but am not IN love with him)

But it depends on the relationship whether sex without love feels empty.
