  • The “connection” is emotional. Connecting emotionally through sex is still “connecting emotionally”

    You or he is referring to a _conduit_ to an emotional connection. That is different than the emotional connection itself.

    if you are “connecting” you are connecting emotionally. The things that make you feel connected may differ. Whether through talking hugging playing sports studying together arts and crafts wrestling sex.. whatever the activity is that Makes you feel more connected, it’s all an emotional connection. Even a physical connection is emotional. The depth and value of that emotion will vary from person to person. Bit a connection between people is referring to an emotion bond No matter how big or small.

    🤔 hmm it’s odd for him to say “ we are even more connected after sex” maybe you are but he is referring to How HE feels. He should ask you if that is how YOU feel.

    Is it how YOU feel? Do you feel more emotionally connected after sex? And not just bc you are happy he feels more connected. Does sex make you feel connected? What things make you feel (emotionally) connected?

    • To me Sex is an expression For when I’m connected I’m confidence having sex and I wouldn’t want Sex if I didn’t feel connected. For me it doesn’t create a connection but it does magik oft it.. Ideally the sex with you makes him really happy bc he’s already attached to you and feels connected... maybe that was his sloppy way of putting it 😛😊

    • Comfortable having sex Not confidence * Doesn’t create connection for me rather magnifies it Everyone is different

    • He may mean that sex with you makes him feel loved. I’ve definitely heard guys say they feel this way. Kind of like for me it’s affection that makes me feel loved not sex. And some guys will not feel loved from sex but some may. It’s very difficult to use Platitudes to understand individuals. I suppose we can ask guys how Sex with their girlfriend makes them feel 😊😊 I think the answers will differ but likely over lap.

  • I think, like all generalizations, there's cases where it's true and cases where it's not.

    I think for most people, however, it's normal to want or need to feel an emotional connection before sex, and to feel more connected afterwards.

    Many of my guy friends can't feel much sexual attraction until they're emotionally attracted first.

  • It's situational saying, it not true for all cases, it's easier for guys to have sex without attachment, but sex is also more important for guys than girls, so he likely didn't felt like you truly his girlfriend until you had sex with him. A guy don't need flowers, a guy need pussy, and a guy is going to feel unloved faster from a lack of sex, for a girl it usually take more time. The saying that girls give sex for love, and guys give love for sex is more accurate.

    • sex tends to be a way many guys bond to a girl. so to some degree yes it is true that guys form a deeper bond with a girl.
    • if they are having semi-regularly sexual encounters. because a healthy sex life is the clue that holds everything else together in many ways.
    • ideally a good relationship requires 4 key pillars to last the test of time.
    • physical attraction, mental attraction, emotional attraction and sexual attraction.
    • which all need to remain in sync with each other.

  • When both are new to sex...

    Yes, girls connect emotionally while guys sexually.

    But when both are experienced with sex,

    Girls connect sexually (hence the word "nymphomaniac") while guys emotionally (hence the word "gentlemanly").

  • For the most part yes

  • That's an over simplification. It's more about the priority of the connection. It won't be long before all of that lovey dovey stuff becomes a turn off too...

  • Nope.

  • the more time you spend together that might change. maybe that's why you see each other once a week

    • We see each other more now

    • Nothing ever changes

    • find that balance of friendship and lover and you will be happy. too much of one can ruin a relationship

  • Not true. You do know plenty of guys still leave a girl after sex right?

    • Yeah same goes with girls it’s just somethi I heard here a long time ago

    • Correct. This has nothing to do with a person being a guy or a girl.

  • Sex can connect a guy to a girl. It just takes longer for guys

  • Yes, I got to agree with you and it's true but not all Men see things this way, I love to connect emotionally with a girl.

  • That's bullshit.

  • I disagree

  • False

  • I think that some guys connect emotionally through sex while others do not connect at all. It just depends on the type of guy you're dealing with. The sensitive ones (like me) will definitely connect through sex. But we can also connect in other ways. Sex is just the pinnacle of the pyramid when it comes to physical connection. However, I think it's best to have an emotional connection before making the physical connection.

  • No., it’s not true.

  • I connect emotionally. I’m still virgin.

  • No, that's complete nonsense.

  • Sounds about right...

  • Not always. I've always connected both sexually and emotionally. Everyone is different. I know girls who can connect sexually and guys emotionally. So it just depends on the person.

  • It can bd this way for guys emotional like girls but some girls can feel its just sex so the thjng is its just about 1s morals I've known girls who were just fooling around with any guy they thought was cute an then got older an became exclusive with only 1 guy in steady relationships me I've always cared for my girl friends before sex to me there are many fuys out there like me but were the ones you hardky hear about

  • I would say the opposite, lol. For guys, sex is more superficial, emotion comes a long way after that. Once a girl is ready for sex, she has generally gone through the emotional parts already.

  • Yes, which is why playing games manipulation by witholding sex is such a bad idea.
