Do all guys change after sex?

I am a little confused because before this guy and I had sex it felt like we were in a relationship. He would take me out on dates, hold my hand and it just felt so real and we would have nice deep conversations and stuff. When we had sex the first time it was awesome and very romantic and again we talked for hours afterwards. Now after doing this a couple of times it doesn't feel the same anymore. The sex is not romantic and we don't really talk much.. he doesn't treat me like a date anymore it just feels like all we do is have sex.

Is this normally how guys behave?

  • You need to realize that, in general, a girl's priority with a guy is to have a relationship, and then do "relationship things", while a guy's priority with a girl is to have sex, and then have more sex. That doesn't mean that girls don't like sex, or that guys don't like relationships - it just means that each sex's TOP priority is DIFFERENT from the other sex.

    So, how do you deal with that? With COMMUNICATION and COMPROMISE. You discuss your honest, short- and long-term goals in detail and figure out if you even have long-term compatibility, and if you do, then you set expectations for each other - which usually means you each have to make some compromises, so that, while you don't get EVERYTHING you want, you get your needs met and can live with the bargain. If you can't reach a compromise you can live with, then you aren't compatible, and you break up and you make a greater effort to find a compatible mate the next time around.

    The problem today is that almost no one considers compatibility when jumping into a relationship - today, the decision to get into a relationship is mostly based on mutual attraction ("Are we both attracted to each other? Then let's date!") - but mutual attraction, while important, is only part of what makes a romantic relationship possible in the long term. The other keys are Communication and Compatibility - and it's best to set those standards and ask those questions VERY EARLY in the process - before you get too attached, because if you learn that your compatibility isn't very high, or that you can't communicate openly and honestly with each other, then you'll have to break up anyway.

  • Damn, yes, people change after they had sex with some in the meaning of that they become more attached and more feely around with you in public etc however the rest should stay the same.

    Tho, what this guy did was to made some advances towards you like dating, showing that he cares about you etc then at the end when he got what he wanted which was SEX, decided to ignore a relationship and possibly forcefully form sexual relationship with you.

    This is how it does look like to me anyway. Just move on and find a better guy next time.

    • It wasn't forceful I enjoyed it just as much as he did. Thanks :)

  • yes, this is normal behavior for 99% of the guys out there.

    They romance and date you to weaken your defenses so you will have sex with them. Once they get sex AND you get used to it, they no longer have to work hard (romance and dating and funny things) to get sex. To them, once they have sex with you a couple times, they are home free. Most guys I have dated expect that when you get together, you either give them a blow job and/or have sex before you go out. Then during the date or at the end, they expect to have sex again.

    Guys think women think like they do. "Guys give the Emotional to get the Physical. Girls give the Physical to get the Emotional".

    Sadly, girls seldom get the Emotional once the guy has gotten sex.

    You have to tell your guy you NEED the Emotional stuff. If he doesn't want it, then he is only a sex toy using you to get his rocks off. Dump him if he won't change.

    There are a lot of good men out there waiting to find a woman they can pamper.

    **It is why I decided a long time ago to only date older men (30+) coz they give the Emotional.

    I am with a guy my age only to keep away the loneliness and depression. Having a warm body to keep me company goes a long way. My current boyfriend is 23 yo, he takes me out to movies, dancing, dinner, and the beach with his friends. He gave me the Emotional (sorta) and got the Physical. Most the time now, Sex is on his mind 100% of the day. He even texts me pictures of his boner to show me how horny he is and misses me.

    Not what I would call Romantic, but I have someone to be with.

  • You need to learn how to let a guy chase you. Don't give up sex right away so that the guy can get to know you. It's all about mystery. When he doesn't know what you have, he's all the more curious to keep you around. So in that time, he's getting to know you and actually falling in love with you. So when it comes time for you two to actually have sex, he's enjoying himself and wants you just the same after.

    • I waited like 3 weeks how long am I supposed to wait? Were both adults but you're right.

    • I waited 3 months

    • lmfao

  • He could've been putting in all that effort to have sex... now that it has happened he feels like he no longer has to make an effort. Generally, I feel like it's normal to see a bit of decline in their efforts after they score if you were really making them work for it, but there shouldn't be a huge difference in how they act overall

  • Some guys act like that if they don't want anything serious or its just about sex to them. He may also not understand the importance of them to you. Talk to him about it if it's bothering you and maybe ask if he wants more than just sex

    • Thanks I am new to this whole dating thing I have only ever been with one guy so it's just weird to me.

  • Real relationships take time to develop and mature. For heavens sake, please enjoy the sex!

    • How is it possible for a relationship to develop when all you're doing is having sex?

    • You could be doing anything together and a relationship would develop. It's the being together part that's important. Sex is a good activity. It's a bonding activity.

    • " Real relationships take time to develop and mature. For heavens sake, please enjoy the sex! " That is what would immature 16-20 something guy said to only get sex, lol.

  • Sadly yes if you let it.

  • No it's not normal, but I don't think it's not common. He probably doesn't feel like he needs to work for the sex anymore. It sounds like you guys have been in a 20 year marriage, except you actually have sex, but soon even that will fade.

    • im breaking it off with him thanks

  • Not all men drastically change after sex. You need to communicate with him how you feel and ask him has anything happened to make him change his feelings for you. And you need to clearly establish what you want and what you expect. :) Best

  • for me i rather to date first than to have sex. why? because i want to get to know that person first what his intention if its just sex? being friends? or a relationship?

  • Men look for sex to find love while women look for love to find sex. Similarly, men use love to get sex while women use sex to get love. If we pause for a moment and reflect on those statements, they carry some elements of truth.

  • Only guys that just want sex.

    My boyfriend is my best friend and we were best friends for 4 years before we decided to become more than that.
    It takes time to develop an emotional relationship as well as a sexual one.

    I could suggest talking to him but I imagine he doesn't respond to your texts like he used to.

    • No he texts me all the time and we still talk it's just it's so different.

  • So he played you... and is using you only for sex?

  • if it changed that dramatically... then no its not normal. it sound like once he got sex from you... now its all he wants.

    yes sex is a great thing but to completley change after you recieve it is just ridiculous.

    you are not a sex object... like he started to treat you after you gave him sex the first time.

    its ridiculous that someone can change so much after such an intimate act.

    • Yeah it's super confusing.

    • i mean... if he continues to not talk to you like his normal self... then all of a sudden wants sex. dont give it to him. and maybe ask him whats been happening recently. cause thats to weird

  • I wound up wanting to be romantic all the more with her. Not just because I wanted sex, but because I wanted to get married. I wanted to move forward with my life, at a time when I felt my life was going nowhere. She was the one who just wanted to mess around.

    • Sorry to hear, there wil be others :)

  • relationships evolve. Your question makes me believe your young. So you have the typical young woman's view that the "honeymoon" phase is how relationships are always. eventually, you get comfortable with each other. Things even out and become normal. your not going to be the same as the beginning.
    I absolutely hate the beginning parts of relationships. I always wished there was a Fast Forward button to get to the 1 year in or more part.

  • What @mroracle said!

  • Not at all. If he likes you, then he likes you. Or if you waited to have sex and then he broke up with you right after, he was probably fucking the other girls the whole time.

  • There are two types of women to date: Sleepers and keepers.

    For those whose only value is to sleep with her, it is all about the chase. How to persuade her to have sex. It is like a game, or sometimes like a power trip. After she gives in, then enjoy it while it lasts, then go on to the next hunt.

    And I think you know what the keepers are like, and it isn't like how you described your situation.

    • Thanks

  • he probably doesn't realize how important those things are to you.

    • I am a girl of course those things are important.

  • Yes. In the old days, this type of arrangement is called a booty call.

  • Different men behave in different ways.
    You may have found that this young man is not the person for you.
    If you had been the target of a 'pump and dump' person he would not be around still. In terms of the prospect of an enduring relationship, that is a good thing.
    Perhaps you need to talk with him about your respective expectations.
    When I was your age, what I wanted most was that one special girl to love. That did not happen for me.
    There are, however, plenty of men whose fondest desire is to have that one special girl and hold her close every night.

  • Very easy: before sex having sex was his highest motivation. But after that he started valuing more other things, and he realised he doesn't really want to be with you.

  • my answer is going to sound very shallow to you, but i will be fine with the sex and most of it. for more :D !

  • Like oracle said, a women's main value in a relationship will always be sex. Not her only value, but her biggest value.
