Agree or Disagree: A relationship will last much longer if arguments end in sex?

Question

RespectfulGuy · Accepted Answer

I partially agree with most opinions.

This is because

1. Some arguments are non provocative. Like corporate meetings, we may argue and then still maintain peace.

In this case, sex is a booster to relationship.

2. Some argument are provocative. And usually accompanied by anger even fights.

Matured couples know it can't be resolved. Hence they just stay apart to avoid making the matter worse. Sex likely NOT in the evenings programme.

3. So far I think only movies make it look like sex can solve all problems. But in my opinion, real world case, we need to follow point 1 and 2 above and learn to communicate, to respect and then to find acceptable win win situation.

PS: not all argument can be resolved.

Disagree…. I think they last longer when you fight it out, talk, and it’s resolved

Reminds me of when we were trying for a baby and we'd had a huge argument and I was so mad but I was like just fuck me and get it over with.

dynamicyandere · Answer

I agree. Kind of.

AFTER an argument is resolved, sex can be a very effective way to close your emotional distance with your S/O.

Instead of taking days, you can feel close again in hours.

If an argument is NOT resolved though, sex is just sweeping the problem under the rug and the problem is only going to get worse with time and it’ll resurface.

I’ve had a very toxic relationship before where they were emotionally abusive, yet they always wanted to sex. The whole ‘keep his tummy full and his balls empty’ doesn’t apply to dysfunctional relationships.

In my current relationship on the other hand, when we have sex to heal from an argument that we’ve already resolved, that actually helps quite a lot.

I'd rather arguments end in resolution. But, if there can't be resolution at the time, maybe the argument can be resolved later. But if you're still mad, why would you want to have sex?

Doesn't sound rational to me.

Sex as a substitute for arguments is not a solution. Sex at the end of an agreement or after a reconciliation can be wonderful.

DubiousIntentions · Answer

Seems to me people would be picking arguments on purpose all the time if they were in need of sex and the other was not feeling it at the time.

menina · Answer

I disagree. Yes, sex is very important to some people in a relationship, but I personally believe that a relationship shouldn't be based in sex. If a couple is struggling to solve their issues and they're always arguing, sex won't be the solution.

MrNameless · Answer

uhh only if you resolve the issue right before or after sex.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I think sex is a great way to dissipate the residual tension of an argument. It is impossible for me to have negative feelings for a woman if we just completed a round of hide-the-sausage.

Paulalove98 · Answer

Lol I believe so. We sometimes can just make out and hug and we’re all good if we don’t have sex that day but there’s a few times we’ve bounced back from make up sex🤣

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Yeah…if one can get into the mood for it…. but the issue is still there.

FreyaRed · Answer

Yes, reconciliation sex is a temporary cure for symptoms but it's not a solution for deeper problems in shitty relationship

electromagnetic · Answer

Probably not. I think I a lot of arguments are because people fail to communicate accurately and with intention. Putting it aside just to have sex doesn’t solve anything.

Smashingdoozy · Answer

No. A relationship will last a lot longer when arguments end in communication. Angry sex is not healthy.

I couldn't even think about sex if she was pissed at me for some reason, it's just not how my mind works. I tend to tell her to cool her jets and talk to me when she's not breathing fire with every word.

aceleon · Answer

i'm confident it will, as long as sexual desire for each other remains nothing aside from cheating can't damage relationships enough, sex is the spine of relationships if it's solid it will remain like that if it's weak or none existent it will eventually collapse.

Bricealan · Answer

Well, she always pretended to WANT to have sex afterwards... and then surprisingly kicked me in the balls, and pushed me down the stairs!!!

Sex for some people is crucial in a relationship, although I repeat for me a real relationship should not be based only on that, people can be in total disagreement, have no character affinity, sex can never solve these.
