You don't think those things but those are the words you chose. You can try and walk it back but those are the terms YOU equated to respect.I don't think those things...
Urges and desires don't reflect values and priorities, unless that person is maladjusted. This is sadly a reality for many, but that sentence was more of a joke...
Sometimes a person's appreciation for the other's physical can carry parts of the relationship when other things are lacking. I gave a crude example but it definitely happens lol
You literally haven't used any other words as signifiers outside of those 2.
But yes, relationships can carry on without respect. I would say most relationships carry on without a mutual level of respect.
And I'm glad you brought up that point, because now we can bring it home to my original point of this thread, which is that conversations should be had about important issues. In this particular case sex. So that respect can be established early via pacing (consistency) and being up front (morality).
