Short answer- yes, you can.
Here are the details about why and how this happens:
Lust phase
The first phase of "falling in love" is the lust/desire of craving for sexual satisfaction. During this phase, men and women both release lots of testosterone and estrogen.
In females, estrogen plays a role in vaginal health, longing for physical closeness with a mate, and the desire for sex. In both male and females (but more so in men), testosterone drives sexual desire, openness and seductiveness. During this phase, the primary objective is to have sex rather than form an emotional connection.
Attraction phase
Scientists found evidence that adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin are involved in this phase. Adrenaline is a hormone that is released during the human stress response and can also play a role in enhancing attraction and arousal. This hormone causes a faster, stringer heartbeat, surging of ones' energy, and heightens feelings of anxiety, nervousness and "butterflies in the stomach".
Dopamine is a hormone that plays a role in motivation, addiction, attention and desire. This chemical messenger produces a feeling of happiness and bliss. Dopamine is also released in response to cocaine and sugar intake, , driving an addictive response.
Serotonin is a hormone which acts as a neurotransmitter and helps maintain mood balance, appetite, sleep, memory, sexual desire and function. During the attraction phase, serotonin levels decrease which can result in sleeplessness. Low levels of serotonin have also been linked to individuals with OCD, and may also be the reason why individuals in the attraction phase of love obsessively thinks about their potential partner.
During this attraction phase one may experience a feeling of euphoria or exhilaration and a craving for union the other human that they desire. Since hormones associated with the stress response are released during the attraction phase, individuals also may experience physiological changes such as sleeplessness, increased energy, loss of appetite, or rapid heart rate and accelerated breathing. Often considered the “honeymoon phase” between two partners, this phase usually only lasts a month or two before the attachment phase takes over.
Attachment phase
Once the attraction phase has settled down, dopamine, serotonin and adrenaline levels return to normal and another phase begins. The two major hormones involved in the attachment (or long-term bonding) phase are oxytocin and vasopressin which both play a role in social and reproductive behaviors in humans.\
Oxytocin, also referred to as the “love hormone” is released during the attachment phase in correlation with physical touch and results in an increase in dopamine (the happy hormone). This is perhaps why the area of the brain which is associated with the feeling of reward and pleasure is activated when oxytocin is released during contact with another human. Gestures such as hugging, kissing, cuddling and sex can boost oxytocin levels which enhances the monogamous bond between both partners. Oxytocin is also released in mothers while breast feeding their infant which facilitates a deep mother-infant bond. Vasopressin is another hormone released after physical touch that initiates the desire to stay with that particular individual and develops a strong emotional attachment.
The attachment phase brings a feeling of calmness, security, a desire to protect one another, emotional union and comfort. This attachment phase doesn’t just exist in romantic relationships, but can also be present with other types of bonds such as family and friends. I hope this helps a bit.
Sex doesn't make me get attached - I'm either already attached prior to sex or I'm not, and if I'm not, sex doesn't change that. Most guys work this way - guys usually know right away, after spending time around a girl or after their first significant interaction with her, if he has some feelings for her or not (and I mean: something more than sexual attraction). If he has feelings, sex can intensify them, but if he doesn't have feelings for her, he could have sex with her every day for 5 years and that isn't going to change.
This is different from most women, who usually WILL develop feelings for guys they sleep with even if they didn't have them at first.
During orgasm yoiur body releases ocytocin, which is called the bonding hormone. It makes you feel warm and fuzzy towards the person you're with.
Additionally, semen has oxytocin and other things in it that are absorbed by the vagina. There's also a theory that the guy's foreskin absorbs bonding hormones from the vagina as well.
When I went on the pill, my boyfriend and I began having condomless sex with him ejaculating inside me, and we we both started feeling more attached to each other, so maybe there's something to it.
Not always, usually I already had feelings and the Sex enhanced or confirmed those feelings. When I have feelings for a guy prior to Sex the Sex is different it feels different, if no feelings first then no feelings during or after maybe down the road. There's also bern times where I had feelings and after Sex the feelings ended immediately that happened a lot years ago it was once I got him the appeal was gone. I use to have the Chase mind-frame like guys do...
Thank you for MHO.

I cannot have sex with someone if I am not into them in other ways. I lack the drive to do so. It has never happened to me no matter how objectively attractive they might be, so the question doesn't apply to me.
But no, the sex part doesn't make me feel more attached to the person I am with. It is a neutral thing.
The chemistry, pyhsical attraction and sex would have to be very good and very mind blowing for attactchment.
No but I do if I’m already in love.
By the time I’ve had sex with someone I’m already pretty close being honest but yeah sex deepens the attachment very much so
We all connect in different ways. When making love,, having sex fucking we all feel it in a different way. For me it's energy between both that I connect with it is also away for me to control myself from cumming to soon if you learn how to use it and understand it it's the most beautiful feeling in the world. And people call it love when they feel it
The "attachment" comes long before the sex.
i get more attached than i already would be yes, which is why i refuse to have friends with benefits, ons or a fb
so when i do actually take that step I am hoping they aren't gonna be the type who manipulate and dump
If I initially have feelings for her, yes. That’s making love. If I don’t have any initial feelings for her, no. It’s just sex.
Yes, but you put it into perspective. If it's not strengthening a broader bond, just fondly remember the experience and move on.
Not necessarily, we might just have a mutual attraction and want to fuck each other
I have to be attached first.
Not always. Sex and emotion are two separate things for us unlike women
na, i usually dont have sex with girls i love or have a crush on... i find it very hard to find a girl i have feelings for... its very rare... i jus dont fall in love that easily... or maybe i jus dont have that much in common with many girls,,,,, but usually i jus have sex with girls like they are masturbatory aids, or objects that im using to get my nut off... and then after i feel nothing for her and jus wanna do something else,
but... in very few rare cases... there has been 1 girl in my life, out of like 200... that i actually felt... a strong connection to... i guess u can say its love... and after i had sex with her... i felt very uhm... a big sense of joy and bliss,, and yeah... i did get even more attached... i felt like it brung us even closer together :)
it was awesome lol, i loved it
I can see how someone would yea, I dont personally because I've made sure I was in a long term relationship before having sex with the person so there would be and emotional attachment before a sexual one
This is a biological imperative. You can't get naked and do it with someone without feeling an attachment - it's how our brains are wired, to ensure the viability of the resultant offspring.
Well, unless you have no heart or are dead inside. Surely there are some of those!
If you ride the cock-carousel, or are the proverbial fukboy, then the specialness of the intimacy loses it's value. Soon you have no feelings at all, and yes, you become dead inside.
Every intimate encounter you give the other a little piece of your soul. It's simply not unlimited, eventually it runs out.
I always get attached I’ve only slept with two guys and I’m attached to one but he is distant from me now I feel sad
I remember every, single, one.
Good
I learnt that I'm not.
No not really
Sometimes, not always.
Mostly but not always.
