How much do you value physical intimacy in a relationship?
Sometimes I feel it’s overvalued but other times I find that it’s a major factor in the success of the relationship.

That's a good list.
When I had relationships with women, all of these were important for me except for maybe dancing. I'm a horrible dancer. I would do it when I was cornered by my significant other just to be sure she was enjoying herself. .

@Elisbch Thank you, I just wanted to highlight that while sex is on the list - its not the only way we have of being physically intimate with our partners... in fact it's listed right at the bottom of this list.
I don't care much for dancing either... but there are things on that list that I can never get too much of.

I think if you're loved and feel secure with your partner and you're getting reassurance from each other and support, a lot of that feeling of being close with your partner can be very satisfying especially when there may not be able to be a lot of sex very often or any. Knowing that your partner has your back is priceless when combined with mutual love that's shown and not assumed. imho.

@Elisbch Yes, sex is still a very small part of a healthy and loving relationship. There are other things on this list that I can get just as much pleasure and enjoyment from giving and receiving as I get from sex.
The thing is that it's hard to make a relationship work when there's nothing there in terms of physical intimacy of any sort and you're left feeling like a burden for even trying to start a conversation.
