Not necessarily true. If the two people can reach some agreeable compromise, the relationship can be forever.

Sexuality is part of one's expression of who a person is; for example, Pandoren's asexuality would not go well with someone with a high sex interest, as has been said. But sexuality isn't something that can be willfully controlled, anymore than breathing or eating can be; boys/men ejaculate in their sleep and I've lost count of the number of sex dreams I've had :-) It's a physical part of us.

YES! Absolutely true. At least in my own situation. For me, sex is the affirmation that THIS relationship is unique from all of our other relationships. The stress comes in when either partner insists on having things their way. There has to be some compromise, just as in most aspects of any relationship.
