A lot of women including my best friend have asked this question. Women simply don't understand this because their sexual pleasure is different for themselves compared to men.
When you as a woman have sex the most significant chemical released is called oxytocin. They call it the "Love hormone". But basically it is a hormone that triggers intense feelings of attachment and closeness. For women it is released during labor but it is also released during sex and orgasm. It is a chemical of bonding. So after they have sex with a guy for 2 months they start to fall in love with them. Certainly by the 3rd time having sex with a guy they start to get attached. But the most powerful way it is released is if they have an orgasm with a guy. Simple ways of feeling oxytocin is when you are cuddling with a partner and things like that.
Men do not experience this at the same measurable levels.
When men have sex the largest chemical released in the brain is dopamine. Sure they have oxytocin but in much much much smaller levels. Dopamine during sex is like taking a shot of heroin. Have you ever eaten 3 donuts in a row and enjoyed it so much you got sugar high and felt sleepy? Well, dopamine during sex is like that but a million times more intense with pleasure.
So based on the chemicals released during sex... a woman's experience is emotional and full of attachment. A man's experience is more transactional and physical. Oxytocin released has lasting influence and dopamine has more of a short term high. SO that is why women can have sex and feel emotional attachment and guys can have sex and get their short term hit but then will need to have it again and again.
As the relationship progresses things reverse. The longer a woman stays with a man. Sex becomes more of a short term dopamine hit. Attract may fade and sex because more of a dopamine hit ever so often in the relationship. But for the man sex becomes more of a validation of oxytocin and it becomes a central component of feeling secure and close to their partner. But a man develops love hormones for a woman outside of sex typically. but that is another topic for another day.
I hope women read this and can understand better why guys can have sex with an ugly girl or a fat or or a girl in general and never fall in love. Whereas women are different.
Also... If a guy cheats and has sex? It is likely to get that new dopamine hit. It is like an addict getting a new hit of a drop. A different cocktail drug. But when a woman cheats it likely is an emotional experience. THis is why women are more likely to forgive a man that has sex with another woman during a one night stand but break up with a guy if he doesn't have sex but emotionally cheats by flirting over text. She is more hurt by the emotional cheating.211 Reply- +1 y

It could be that you just were more attracted initially. But also understand that sexual arousal releases those oxytocin chemicals. When a woman orgasm it goes into over drive.
This is why my advice to men is to be sexual early on in dating. The most powerful attraction technique is to have sex with a woman on the first date. But I would say sex within the first 3 dates is pretty common for an alpha guy who knows the game of dating.
One of my controversial "Confessions of a Ladies Man" my takes was something like "Women fall in love in 2 months". And from my personal experience.. when a woman is having consistent sex with a man she will start to fall in love by around the 2 month mark. This is because of oxytocin being released over and over again and creating intense attachment. That is why if a guy meets a woman and she says "I just want something casual". A guy should not panic. Just be sure that she isn't friendzoning you and continue to be a great guy and have sex. Right around 2 months of being a fuck buddy a woman will start to act different. She will leave her toothbrush at the apartment. she will start to cuddle. She will want to hang out more outside her apartment. she will talk more about her feelings. then she will start blowing up your phone and texting. a man need not say anything. She is falling in love yet in denial. Then around 2 months in she is asking "what are we?" or "Are you seeing other girls?" - +1 y
It sounds like you had high attraction for him. You can start to fall in love with someone before you have sex. But to be clear.. it doesn't matter what type of sex you have. Those hormones are going to happen. Having a making love kind of sex is good stuff. I honestly do that with all the women I am with. I have found that women are shocked if you are a fuck buddy and you give them the full on love making sex. It definitely gets them crazy. I am talking slow. sensual. kissing their neck, shoulders, breasts, thighs, clit. Taking your slow time. making sure she cums first.
Like this type of sex is going to have a woman falling in love with every kiss. Her breathing relaxes and the sex is more of a comfortable and relaxed sex rather than a carnal intense one. This is more likely to make you as a woman fall in love.
I think you did a good thing having sex with him and truly experiencing something mind blowing in your life. Regardless of how it turns out. That kind of connection is so rare and life is short you know?

Because you are yourself and they are them. You are created and made that way so whether you like it or it, you will follow that rule.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yMost likely because they are different from you when it comes to sexual behavior.
I don't really understand the influence of "connection" when it comes to sex, it's not what sex is about for me, the things that appeal to me about sex are completely unrelated to whatever connection I have with the person, and indeed, some of the best sex I had was with complete strangers (while the sex I had with exclusive partners was actually some of the worst and most unenjoyable).
Maybe those girls simply emphasize more with my sexual behavior than yours, who knows?
It's hard to explain to someone who probably can't understand it intrinsically.00 ReplyIt is what it is. Sexual intercourse and emotional connection are two different things. You can have sexual intercourse without an emotional connection. Likewise you can have emotional connection without sexual attraction.
Friends-with-benefits-relationship is mainly sexual attraction or gratification. There may small amount of emotional connection. It depends on the type of emotional connection and its intensity. Sexual feelings? Love feelings? Liking-one's company feelings?10 ReplyI don't think it's something you can teach yourself, I think some are just able to more easily than others. Maybe past relationships/experiences (often bad) help? I couldn't do it either. I was completely amazed at not only how she was able to no problem, but was able to "fake" otherwise EXTREMELY WELL! And for 8 months.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yDo you get emotionally attached if you have sex even if its just a hookup, I want to hear from both girls and guys, please?
I had the same question with regards to yours - I am a 29 year old virgin and going to have sex with a milf. She told me once i lose my virginity to her I would get attached to her and would want to continue to keep fucking her regularly and won't allow anyother man near her. Is it true do we get emotionally attached even if its just sex?
She told me the same thing what you mentioned on the question - That once i have sex with her I would be emotionally attached to her as well and would wanna fuck her regularly and not allow any man near her.00 Reply766 opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic. I don't think it's easy or maybe not even possible to do... Although many tv and movies suggest differently. I suppose it's learning to be cold and distance. To avoid connection but I'd rather not do that myself
00 Reply686 opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic. Typically they don't. It is very rare for the woman to not have feelings during an friends with benefits arrangement. It is also almost always the guy's idea that the woman ends up 'going along with' for some reason.

I agree with you, but off lately have seen many questions as well where either the guy or the girl has fallen in love with the person and want to convert it into a relationship. Some our scared to let the other one know because they don't want to lose them or the sex, so I feel its a bit complicated and depends from person to person.

+1 yIt’s very possible to not develop feelings from a fuck buddy
00 ReplyThe same way men do sex doesn’t equal love and the intelligent and mature woman realize that and they are not setting themselves up for failure and hurt
00 ReplyI think their emotions have become numb and they think life is just a game
00 ReplyThe women who do that only care about having sex. They don't want a relationship of any kind.
00 ReplyGreat question, let’s see if any women can explain. Seems like most hide feelings
00 ReplyIf it is a one night stand I can see why.
If two people meet in a bar and go home and fuck it's for pure sexual reasons. No emotions involved.00 ReplyN idea
