What is a healthy sexual relationship?

[MeliWelli]

Since my boyfriend and I started doing it, our relationship has changed...more physical, less talking. Things are still good, but I worry that sex might become the focus of our relationship...He's my first and I'm his, but I wonder what its like for other girls here? What do you consider a healthy sexual relationship, or a healthy relationship in general?

I have had only one relationship and by far not a expert by any means. But I have always believed that communication in any relationship should be the main ingredient.

This is my opinion. In a healthy long lasting relationship, sex should only take up about 15-25 percent of the relationship. It's not even wrong if it's a 50 percent either. But if it starts narrowing to a 75-100 percent, you should probably make sure you're still in a relationship. Sex can be great in a relationship, but if it's all you do, it's all the relationship will become.

This is exactly what I believe. It shouldn't be the foundation to a relationship. If it is, then the couple might as well be fwb

All of the above is good advice.
First of all, try not to worry about something that hasn't happened yet, as hard as that can be, only worrying about things one can change will make your outlook on life a lot better.

Second of all, if you are worried:
Tell him.
Share how you feel with him, and allow him to share his feelings too, and then you can work together to quell your worries. In my opinion, Melodic has it spot on, but base your decision off of your own logic and preference, not from what you have been told is right. Being comfortable is more important than fitting someone else's box.
Anyway, I hope all goes well.

sex should only be a portion. it is a very fun portion but there needs to be more to the relationship, otherwise it is not going to last or be as good as you want it to be

Healthy relationships should have a sexual and a non-sexual side. It is normal to be a little sex obsessed once you discover it though. Just keep an eye on it and if sex is still central to your relationship in a couple of months, there's a problem! It's all new, enjoy it!

i was in a relationship that started out all communication, then once the sex started, we communicated less and less, and it eventually became a fwb situation and we broke up. i think in order to have a healthy relationship in general you have to have, at the minimum, equal parts communication and sex. the relationship i have now is based more on communication and less on sex and we are fine with it. tell him how you feel.
