#1 is completely off. If there is an emotional connection (and not just a hormonal infatuation), physical intimacy will reinforce it. However, it's not a guarantee, which is what #3 implies. Emotional intimacy, even in a romantic situation, doesn't guarantee sexual compatibility, or such has been my experience

I read through the first couple of entries in your journal, and I have to say I can relate. Plus, I like your cynical and academic tone. :) If you don't mind, I am friending you.

I agree except for the last part: I wouldn't even say that 3 and 4 value physical intimacy over emotional intimacy, and I definitely know that 1 and 2 don't value the physical over the emotional. In 1, it follows that someone who says sex ruins emotional intimacy certainly would value emotional intimacy over sex. In 2, the same reasoning can be applied.
3 and 4 might seem to value sex more, but that's only an implication and not necessarily true. They just eschew a common "moral" undercurrent that says sex is bad.
1) Too much sex poisons a relationship, that is: excessive physical copulation causes an emotional connection to deteriorate.
False. I would say that the only situation in which this statement would be true would be if an emotional connection had not been firmly established initially in the relationship. Otherwise if the relationship was on a solid emotional footing already, sex and other forms of physical intimacy only enhance the emotional bond in the relationship. However equal attention does need to be paid to the emotional band as the physical bond or the relationship would die.
2) If you have too much sex, it just becomes stale and boring and will lose its intimacy.
False. Again, if the emotional bond in a relationship is sustained, then the sex would remain just as exciting and passionate years down the road as it was in the beginning.
3) As long you are emotionally intimate, the sexual intimacy will follow.True. I personally believe that buidling and emphasizing the emotional bond at the beginning of a relationship
