How do sex only based relationships usually end up?

I do not mean just hooking up but the relationships when sexual things are the most important thing, how do you end it up?

Here's my take, based on what I've seen and heard (and maybe a bit of personal experience, but don't tell anyone 😉).

First off, these kinds of relationships can be super appealing, right? You get the physical intimacy without the emotional baggage or commitment. It sounds like a win-win. But, as many folks will tell you, it's rarely ever that simple.

Emotional Attachment: This is the biggie. No matter how much people insist they can keep things purely physical, emotions often find a way to sneak in. It's like they're the uninvited plus-one at a party. Someone, whether it's you or the other person, might start developing deeper feelings. When these feelings aren't mutual, it can lead to a world of hurt and awkwardness.

Jealousy and Possessiveness: Even in a no-strings-attached arrangement, seeing the other person with someone else can stir up jealousy. It's a bit like having your cake and not wanting anyone else to get a slice.

Confusion and Mixed Signals: Without clear boundaries, these relationships can get super murky. Are you just friends? Are you more? It's like being in relationship limbo, and that can be stressful.

Endgame Uncertainty: Most of these relationships don't have a defined goal. They're not necessarily moving towards a committed relationship or heading back to being just friends. It's like you're on a road trip with no map and no destination.

Impact on Friendship: If you started as friends, adding sex to the mix can change the dynamic big time. If things go south, it can be tough to return to the good old days of just being pals.

Now, I'm not saying these relationships are doomed from the start. I know some people who've managed to make it work, and even transitioned into solid, committed relationships. But that's more the exception than the rule. Most of the time, they tend to fizzle out or end when one person finds a more serious relationship, or when the cons start outweighing the fun parts.

If you're thinking about a sex-only relationship, go in with your eyes wide open. Know what you're getting into, set clear boundaries, and keep checking in with yourself and your partner to make sure you're both still on the same page. And above all, be prepared for the possibility that it might not end the way you expect. Stay safe and have fun, but don't ignore the potential emotional rollercoaster.

For hookups and short term relationships they are great however I think for an LTR (I have not had one yet) while the sex is important there needs to be some love also.

cheating.
for example Finnish people for the most part don't start being boyfriend/girlfriend, they just start having sex and from there they see how much physical chemistry they have and if it's great sex then they become a "relationship" based solely on how much they enjoyed each other naked and having sexual connection. sounds ideal! right. but yet they CHEAT a lot and they admit it, I believe it's because since they have a super strong sexual connection and bases the relationship solely on that, then there's no emotional connection that is just as strong as to feel bad enough to not want to just have sex with others, as they state themselves they admit to having sex with others because they just WANTED it. whereas oppose to relationships bases on strong emotional connection first, who feel respect and bad if they even think of another sexually, wouldn't just go have sex with others JUST because they WANT to, they first think of it could possibly hurt the person they are in love with, but if it's just sexual super strong connection and not emotionally involved then it's easier to just give in to any temptation out there more so than other relationships. That's not to say strong sexual connection is not important, it IS! but a relationship based primarily on that although sounds ideal at first, it's just grounds for EASY cheating.

Well normally life such as job, kids etc would soon slow that all sex thing down rapidly.

[RoseySarah]

Yeah usually end when the honeymoon phase ends or turns into a slow relationship that ends or grows in other ways

friends with benefits never last

[sheikalana]

It tends to end with one catching feelings for the other while the other is not interested in pursuing anything else other than just sex.

they usually fade over time.
You need more than just sex to keep a relationship going.

[KrakenAttackin]

They are fun for a short time but they always fizzle out.
