A sex relationship , also known as a “ pure sex relationship ” or a “ sex only relationship ”, describes in everyday language the occasional or regular sexual contact between two people who are not in a partnership with one another. An essential part of a sexual relationship is that both partners meet for sexual intercourse , but do not feel love for one another. The element separating the open relationship is the lack of a deeper bond. The sex relationship differs from the one-night stand in terms of the duration of the relationship.

A sex relationship can also be a friendship extended to include sexual intercourse , or it can also be the result of a friendship (" mingle "). This is also called “friendship plus” or “friendship with certain advantages”.

By sex therapists is critical argued that although a "pure Sexbeziehung" for both partners pleasure could mean and the experience of self-affirmation, this satisfaction is limited by "biopsychosocial basic needs" to each momentary experience.

Most of the time, a sex relationship is practiced in secret, since public relationships bring a number of problems with them: It is usually a socially unrecognized form of relationship. In addition, the desire of both partners to remain open to other partners or not to give up an existing partnership results in the desire for secrecy.

If the freedom of both partners to do everything is the strength of the sex relationship, this also shows their weakness and potential for conflict: Usually such a sex relationship only works for a short time (a few months) without at least one of the partners having feelings like Infatuation developed. However, partnerships can also develop when both partners form an emotional bond. There is a correlation between the frequency of partner switching and the preference for sex relationships.
