I would like to pose a question to the residents of this Nexus.
What purpose does physical affection serve in an emotional relationship? Pleasure is not required to maintain relationships. It can be used as incentive, entertainment...
I do not see why it is considered 'important.'
Please explain.

Its main purpose is physical pleasure. Pleasure can be given to those without emotional attachment.

Fine balance, really. Giving. Taking. Trusting. Showing someone how you feel by...feeling. Being open, vulnerable.
tl:dr: bein' a slaggin' idiot who deserves the backstab when it comes.

I do not see how it would aid the situation.

2) Aid the situation at the end? PFFFFF no. At the time? Yeah. Think of it this way: You make someone feel good, they remember that and reward it. Could be useful.
If you're the scheming type.
Or if you KNOW any scheming types, that could be what they're up to.
Just a thought, though, really.

It is possible to make that individual happy without physical intimacy.
I do not understand how offering weakness is a sign of emotional affection. Vulnerability could be interpreted as a loss of ability, the deterioration of resolve, or more simply, in its literal sense, as weakness.

Probably because they enjoy it, or some scrap like that.

That does not explain the connection to emotional relationships.

It all depends on the situation and the parties involved.
In other words; it's all a load of garbage.

Why is importance placed on physical affections, if they are known to have the possibility of emptiness?

I'm not expect in the area, but I would say it's just a matter of proving how much the other means. While it does have the possibility of being false, there is always the change of it being genuine. The worth of the one over the other is enough to out weigh the chances of a false positive.

Emotional satisfaction seems a small benefit.
