There are countless types of relationships, almost as many as the different guys you can meet, but they basically fall into three categories: casual hookups, long-term lovers, and the love(s) of your life. But the physical and mental connection is important in all three, to varying degrees. Sex is good for mental health, though it obviously can’t cure serious illnesses, for instance it helps alleviate symptoms of depression. And when I talk about sex, I mean skin-to-skin contact; humans have evolved over millions of years without needing a phone or a webcam Besides, sex is something simple and natural, there’s no need to overthink or mythologize it: you like a guy, you make a move, you grope each other, you kiss, go to a private place, undress, you have whatever kind of sex you feel like, you kiss him, you say goodbye… that’s all there is to it and it’s no big deal! And it’s always a lot of fun.

Both are key to a healthy relationship. I’ve just came out of being with someone 13 years(5 married) trust is hard to earn and easy to loose. Communication is key to any relationship short or long. If your mental health isn’t good, sexual health can drop rapidly.
