*This* was an interesting subject. This is mostly why some ship pairings bug me: it seems that people are just putting characters together because one of them is a guy and the other a gal.
I think that the reason people generally want to write sexual relationships (either one of het, bi or slash) is because it's seen as the most "important" relationship. Your friend may stick by you your entire life, but your lover will be the front figure.
I'm not saying that it's necessarily true, but I think that's how a lot of people think. Not really surprising when nowadays being single is a cause for depression.
