I think that both physical and emotional love are needed to maintain a relationship. This doesn't mean sex, but physical contact. Confirmation of affection between two people. As far as sex is concerned, it carries deeper meaning between two people who love each other than between two people who don't, of course.
Can love exsist with no physical contact? Yes, I think it can. But there is rarelly a trully deep bond formed between two people who can't look each other in the eyes, clasp each others hands, or wrap thier arms around each other in an embrace. There is always going to be an empty hole in the love of a relationship if there can be no physical contact established between the two people.
As for what love is. I don't truly fully comprehend it. Deep compassion is a form of love, then of course there is romatic love, the love of friends, the love of parent to child. Each is a little different, each requires a different sort of physical response.
I don't think a culture exsist, where there is not some sort of physical response to the emotion of love. Even social creatures such as wolves and apes have a physical response that appears to be affectionate towards certain members of their groups.
So yes I think that the physicallity of love is important. I also think that women need sex just as much as men do (perhaps want is a better word). Women have been sexually repressed culturally for millenia it would seem. Women are less often able to come forward sexually because of these social taboos (they're getting less and less). So I don't like that old cliche much.
Go spread the love and hug someone.
