How much physical attraction is necessary to keep a relationship alive?

Do you have to have a lot in your opinion? Especially when one partner is more interested in sex than the other?
Do you think lack of physical attraction can completely kill a sex life, or can there be enough other things non-sexual to keep it together?

YES lack of physical attraction can kill a sex life.
I find my guy unnatractive now, never ever want to have sex with him either, I have no romantic feelings for him anymore...I was never attracted to him in the looks dept, I liked is personality at the time, but that was just a facade.
You want to *** someone you think is hot!!!

The problem with todays society in the Western world, is that there is too much sex. It is everywhere we look. We need to remember that there are more values out there in relationships than sex. We have lost our way and forgotten about the deep spiritual connection that 2 people can have. Once that is established, the sex will be incredible between the 2 people.
Don't put too much on the physical...it is superficial and will destroy a relationship.

Sex is very important and unless the situation is dangerous should be completed whenever you or your partner want it. Physical attraction is necessary to get him up and you damp.

i just went threw a relationship that was one sided. you can love and do things to much for them. so keep your eyes opened and go very slow hold back on the love making department. take it one day at the time. but always be honest with your mate

marriage will not work unless sex is always great.

Physical its a big part, but its not all. I cant have sex with my girl after she start ranting about life and how much she hates blondes and other females and stupid crap like that.
The best sex for a man is the one that inclused no words before or after and the one that involves the least ammount of time possible. Unexpected sex is the best.
However if he is teh issue and you dont find him attractive anymore then you should start hinting him on it, like if he is fat, you should offer him to do exercises together, if he is ugly hint him on a makeover. Get one of his guyfriends to help you hint him into whatever needs to change

it depends on the person i think.

I think initially to get the relationship started, there has to be lots of physical attraction. I mean how else can you notice someone, they have to be attractive to you, right? But as the relationship goes on, you get to know each others souls, personality, and get to know that person on the inside. When people get older, they sometimes lose their physical attractiveness, but some people just connect on so many other ways and have been together so long that they look past it. People get wrinkles, boobs get saggy, people lose their sex drives, women hit menopause, guys have erection problems, people go bald, people gain weight, but i think that the reason a lot of people stay together is that they learn to love that person's heart and soul and love that person no matter what. Just my 2 cents!

Sex isnt always everything in a relationship, but it definitely plays an important part. If you don't have physical attraction, then maybe you both are better as great friends

In my opinion, there can be very little physical attraction as long as there are other qualities that make that person desirable. Looks can be that 1st initial attraction to some people but if that's all that's there then the relationship usually won't work. Relationships have to be based on more than looks in order to be successful.

Physical attraction is very important in a relaitonship. If you are in a relationship you should like to look at your partner. If the ugly parner has money, one could possibly fake their way through a relationship.

although there are lots of things that may be MORE important, physical attraction IS VERY IMPORTANT...Especially for men!!!

I believe there can be alot things to keep a relationship alive besides looks! Morals,Personality , Trust & Dedication to make things work count the most for me. Looks are cool but SEX is over-rated & so is looks. I am not saying that Sex is not relevant, because it is important to keep the fire going on wherever you get your fires and desires met.lol
