Are love and sex intertwined?

[Hymenowner]

can never be with a guy who thinks sex in a relationship is not a sacred bond

yes. I abhor (the idea of) sex without love

yes. I dislike (the idea of) sex without love

no. I still love sex without love

no. I don't believe in love at all

[chuckklez]

you can have sex without love. remember sex is for procreation not love. we just use it to inform someone thatbwe love them but that wasn't the intent. i do believe for it to be good sex you have to mentally be there.

They aren't always mutually exclusive, but they ought to be
Sex without love is like cereal without milk
I mean, why even bother?

[Analinda1999]

they can be made to do so but not inherently.

for me it is important yes. i would not have sex with a person i do not love. but many do and will continue to do so for all of time. its natural i think. :)

No I find that while sex is always better when one is in love, that doesn't necessarily diminish the value of sex without it.

[ravedave]

It CAN be. I believe a person can separate love/emotions from sex if they choose, which is exactly why I support/have been in friends with benefits relationships.

They aren't intertwined with the way guys think. Guys have an easier time having sex without a connection and they have lower sexual standards

[NYkid27]

I think sex is meaningless if you don't care about each other

[Bradyman_1212]

yes love and sex are intertwined. it is a sacred bond between the two. it means you are now fully devoted to the other. you have sealed that bond by getting intimate.

I don't really like sex so for me sex is a way to pleasure my girlfriend, so there'd be no reason if I didn't love her
