If you take the affection, you can still "see to yourself", let's say And I'm not saying the sex has to be cold and meaningless necessarily, just that your contact is limited to those times where you're having sex, and is more sexually focused.
This is my take on the question anyway; feel free to answer under your own caveat.
In that case I'd take the sex so long as the sex can still be loving and affectionate.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
