Sex is Not Enough
Welcome back to today’s article; today, I will be discussing why sex is not enough in regards to finding a meaningful relationship and what matters most is finding common interests with your respective partner there in a heterosexual or other kind of relationship.
With that stated, I’m not saying sexual intimacy doesn’t matter and that being attracted to the person’s physiological characteristics doesn’t matter.
They do matter at the beginning of relationships because it is the sexual physicality which draws people together.
However, sexual attraction cannot sustain a relationship, and this is the reason why, within popular media, there are often new stories such as Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, sleeping with other women.
Beyoncé is a beautiful woman, but attractiveness over time fades because familiarity breeds discontent.
We have human nature that takes other people for granted.
A successful relationship requires people to have good conversations and lifestyles that merge, which enables mutual satisfaction but not necessarily happiness.
As human beings, we evolved over 150,000 years ago in our modern forms, and 50,000 years ago, we developed the ability to speak.
