Love as in someone who you are attracted too not like how you love your mum or dad
Sex as....uhh well intercourse :P
EDIT: and you can't have both, so basically you must sacrifice one for the other :evil:
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I've coped for 15 years without either, so I guess I can live without either, though I definately want both.
I'd rather have love though.
Ive only been loved 'like that' for a very very short time in the past.
I love with all my heart that person who gave me that already even though that love is no longer returned.
And I know that without my love, I would be a meaningless husk, I was once before and she made me care for the first time in a long time what I was.
So I would choose love, because even though, yes it maybe may not last forever, yes for some it may be a feeble thing, but for me it is the blood in my veins.
Does anyone else think it's a bit cruel that someone would ask this question to people on the internet? It's kind of like asking a starving African child "Which couldn't you live without: Lamborghinis or Ferraris?"

We here on OT like to pretend that we're not social rejects. :P

Meh they'll be fine (gamespot users i mean)
Well if ur with someone you love, there is like bjs and mutual masturbation And love is so awesome.Agent-Zerorofl, i cant stop laughing. Nice choice! This is EXACTLY wahat i was thinking:)
That is very cynical... :| I would modify it to read "MOST people are not capable of a true and lasting love"
Sex you can buy but love can't, I'll go with love

Well, I may be a little callous and careless in my saying that, being that I am in an 8 year relationship with a woman I have been with since I was 14.
But, I always figured that people's love is too conditional (whether they be parents, siblings, friends, lovers). We only love people so long as certain conditions are met or, at least, as long as certain conditions are not met. I believe that people can honest to God stop loving people, not as in hate, I am not that black and white about it. I just believe you can lose that attachment over time depending on how life plays out.
People normally cite the parent-child love. Saying, "No, parent can not-not love their child. Its your child you have to love it." I tend to say that if the only reason you love something is because you have to then there is no love to truly be had.
Which is why I use the qualifiers of "true" and "everlasting" together. I seem them as two halves of the same whole, to have one you must have the other. If one is missing both are missing.
Well the girl I'm truly in love with is the girl I'm definitely gonna have sex with so this poll has failed.

Not sure I understand what "true" and "everlasting" mean, but I agree that love is base on conditions for the most part. I love you because I am getting such and such in returns. As soon as that love stop being reciprical (real or imaginary), this love dies.
Beside conditional love, I think unconditional love also exist, though not that many ppl are capable of it or even understands it. One example I can think of is the soldiers fighting for the sake of this country. Ppl get enlisted probably because of a wide varity of reasons, but I believe there are a number of them enlisted solely because they love this country and would protect this country from harm, not necessary because that they will get recognize for it or anything in return (especially true for those who couldn't make it back alive.... please rest in peace) but simply because of their love for this country and they will always stand up for it, even paying the ultimate price for it...
I know the example is a bit extreme and I have taken the definition of love beyond relationships, but one's love for country, to me, is one of the most noble sentiment I can ever imagine exist in this world.
Right now I have both love and a very healthy sex life, and as long as I stay with my girlfriend, whom I love, I will continue to have great sex as well, so I choose love. I win! :P
Realistically, I could live without both--just not happily without one. And that one is sex.
Regardless if you're in love or not, it can be amazing. I love the excitement and rush I get from it--it can relieve stess and I absolutely need my fix or I'll be extremely sexually frustrated. Plus I can still have kids(huge matter to me)--since I can still be trusted, liked, and/or respected then I'll live happily enough. Love alone just isn't enough when it comes to a partner for me--not if we can't make love. But I always rather have them both overall.
Love easily. When your in love with your partner you tend to have sex, and just not any sex either... ;)
