Would you dump the best sex of your life with someone you don't love for a mediocre lover with whom you could have a viable relationship?

    Yes. How many hours a day can you have sex, versus how many hours a day you'll have to spend with this person?

    A mediocre lover just needs patience, practice and training - willing to put in some work?

    The chemistry of lust is great stuff. It doesn't last long, usually, though. A real emotional connection with another person - that shit lasts, and will get you through the tough times in your life.

    But basically it would depend on a lot of other factors. I'm inclined to answer not just yes, but hell yes - but it would also depend on why I didn't love the object of lust, and why I did love the less stellar performer.

    As others have pointed out, mediocre lovers can be taught to be good ones, provided they're interested in learning and you're interested in teaching. Minus that, there will always be a little nagging hole in your relationship that could grow to be an aching void.

    In short, probably. But there's a few other things going on here, that need addressing.

    WHY is it the best sex of your life? Very few lovers in the world are Sex Gods/Goddesses/Anthropomorphic Deities. Most of the time, when the sex is that good, it has to do with our reaction to that person's personality and what we're mentally responding to. Sometimes the fact that it's emotionless NSA sex is what makes it good because we don't have to worry about any of the other emotional baggage that goes along with sex. The question then becomes, "Why is this emotional stuff getting between me and my toe-curling orgasm?"

    The next question is WHY is this other person such a mediocre lover? I'm not one who believes that, given the right amount of time, you can turn any person into the best lover for you. Many times, someone's temperament is simply what it is, and they're not capable of deviating from that. For example, lets say you like it rough, but this new person likes it a little more sweet, mushy, etc. Now, after a conversation in which you describe what you'd like, this new lover is GGG, and willing to give it a try. That doesn't mean he's going to be good at being rough because being rough is just outside of their temperment. Sometimes it just comes off as an act, despite his/her best efforts. It is worth the conversation, though, because it can lead to a person finding they really like it rough, too, and they're also good at it!

    Ok long answer: Before you dump amazing lover, have a conversation with new lover in which you talk about what you want, sexually. Give it a try, and see how things go before you break it off with the amazing one. If things are amazing, well, you know what to do.

    If they're not, it gets complicated. You can say that you're just not compatible with new person, and break it off. Honestly, if you're having bad sex in a good relationship, don't you think you're going to find the good sex somewhere else?

    You can tell new person you'd like an OPEN relationship (leaving out the part about how they're just not doing it for you, sexually). This, to me, sounds like the best option.

    define "viable"?

    are we talking wuv, twue wuv through thick and thin until death do you part? then absolutely, yes.

    or are we talking solid dating relationship, bring home to the parents a time or two, and go your separate ways in 2 years? not that there's anything wrong with that... but if i were going to dump the demi-god/dess i would want the promise of something pretty breathtaking and meaningful.

    Never. There's a million people I could have a viable relationship and mediocre sex with. The best sex of my life doesn't come around very often. I'll fall out of love with mediocre sex person anyway. But I'll fall into love with the best sex person over and over. That's part of what makes it The Best.

    Yes, without question. A mediocre lover can become a great lover with good communication, and maybe a class or two. lt is much harder to ask a person to make changes/improvements to their personality, and would of course meet resistance. l wouldn't want to ask someone to change themselves anyway, because that's who they are. lt's a little different to improve on your sex life, and enjoyable when done together.

    Probably not. I wouldn't be able to have a viable relationship with a mediocre lover.

    Depending on the definition of "mediocre", yes.

    This is the exact situation I am in presently. The best sex, which it hands down is, only sees me once or twice a month and keeps little contact between those occasions so I decided to go on a date with someone new to bide some of this down time. This new person compliments me well and is a great match for me, but I just can't wipe clean from my thoughts the sex with guy one. It seems to trump the other qualities- though I haven't even had sex with guy two yet and don't think I can until guy one is out of the picture. But even if it meant I could only see good sex once a month, I would still choose that. It's unfair to guy to to be thinking about someone else while we are "connecting".

    "Viable" is just plain not good enough. Set your standards higher, honey.

    I would take the viable relationship but it would be sexually open to other partners.
