How much of your interest in a significant other is sexual in nature?

1. 5-10%

   I’ve been married a super long time now but my interest in my husband has always been, first and foremost, in his intelligence and his passion for what he does every day.

2. I don’t feel like that can be quantified. At least, not in the way you’re asking.

   Edit:

   What I mean is that my affection for my girlfriend is not a pie chart. I like to be in a romantic relationship where I can have sex with my partner periodically, but we’re long-distance, so frequency is obviously not a dealbreaker for me.

   More like a switch than a pie chart. Affection for me goes “on” or “off” depending on the person. It doesn’t go “75% like to talk to you, 10% like to sit quietly with you, 15% like to have sex with you”

4. It fluctuates too much to give an exact percentage.

5. 69%

6. Quite a lot to be honest, my sexual drive is 1000% all the time, I just do a good job hiding it, I’d say like 50% interest in sex, 50% interest in the person itself as a human.

7. I would say about 10%. Feels higher in the beginning, of course. For me, the bulk of the sexual attraction is based largely on all the other components of them as a human being.
