I'm going to go there -- Sex is easy, Relationships are hard.

Has anyone else found that to be true?

Depends on the two people in the relationship. If they are both consenting adults and know what the outcome could lead to, that's their business and noone else's. Also depends on how well they communicated with one another before the interaction. Sex complicates everything, but it doesnt have to encompass everything. Depends on the maturity of the individuals involved.

Okay.....I met my man thur friends and he has this great vintage chevy convertible...We went out cruising and just having the most wonderful time....had some beers (which I wouldn't normally do!) Felt pretty darn good..We slept together that same night...No sex...Just cuddling..(It can happen!!)have been together ever since and I feel we will be together for the long haul...We are probably much older then most on these boards..We make our life together fun and adventurous and very passionate...it works for us. I feel that we are old enough to have figured it all out. I am sure I will be criticized for this but it works for us.

WOW - this is heavy stuff.I guess I generally agree here, but every person and every couple is different.  You are different when you are older than when you were younger.  But, when a couple shares the same goals, wants, beliefs, and what they expect to contribute and what they want out of a relationship, then everything can bloom to its fullest.  Such is the case with a woman I met on eH - she had lost her husband 18 months prior and I had lost my wife of 44-1/2 years a few months before.  Everything just connected us together - we first met in Feb 2010, I proposed to her in Sept 2010, we married on April 30, 2011.  We have the most unbelievable relationship, and although we are both well into our senior years (70 and 64) we feel like teen agers who have just discovered sex.  We are both committed to each other and know that God put us together. He used eHarmony as a tool to bring us together.  There is so much more - more than I can write about here and now.Howard

I think if you put the other aspects in their proper priority, the sexual aspect may actually get better.
^^^^ My thoughts, too. It's all about priorities and balance, imo.

Yes! And, now I'm questioning the phrase "Nothing worth having is easy".
