  • These people are often mentally scarred and damaged. Quite often, it's from childhood sexual abuse that's untreated. People dissociate the act from love.

    One other that comes to mind is the Madonna/Whore complex from Freudian psychology if I remember correctly. It basically states that sometimes a man has difficulty in seeing the woman he loves, the Madonna, in a sexual way, the Whore. It can be an underlying cause for infidelity, but is still often rooted in sexual abuse, or some other psychological damage.

  • I hear that when women orgasm, they'll usually release oxytocin and emotionally bond some with their partner.
    For many women taking the pill, I heard that much less oxytocin is released, making sex less emotionally attaching.

    I'm not sure why you would want to have sex without emotional attachment but hey you do you.

  • Different people are different. Sorry if that sounds dumb but it’s a combination of personality and experiences that determines how people view and experience everything including sex. Some people have difficulty feeling attached. Some people always get very attached. And some are in between. It’s because of their nature, childhood, life experiences, sexual experiences etc etc.

  • Have multiple sex partners. If you’re only fucking one person obviously you’re gonna become attached to that ONE person. (Unless the sex was wack, then that’s another story.)

    • What if she is polyamorous and becomes attached to many men?

    • Oh then that sounds like a very personal problem. Sounds like an episode of two and a half men, when Walden (Aston Kutcher) became emotionally attached to every woman he had sex with and had to see therapy for it lmao.

  • Same way I can play tennis with someone and not get attached

    • Surely tennis and sex are two completely different things? There's no intimacy or oxytocin released with tennis the way it is with sex

    • Because she's a cheap hoe

  • Other people can do that because they are not all like you or me.

    I just read a post by some girl wanting to do prostitution for charity.

    • And what if you really like her/love her?

    • That’s different

    • Then what would make you feel attached to her.

  • When I was younger you left your mind wonder if you was not really involved with the girl you was screwing. Then when I got older, smarter, caring, passionate of what love really means I realized you need emotions for sex.

  • I could easily have sex without attachment but with attachment is much better

    • How do you go about having sex with a girl that you really like but can't see yourself committed to?

    • I dont have to “really like” her to want to jump her bones

    • Yeah but do you feel the attachment if you do like her (not just sexually or physically)?

  • With great care. 😎

  • Once you have been there several times, you get used to it. I do get emotionally attached to some of my FWBs, but not in a romantic way. I look after them, make sure they are safe and help them do things around their apt or house.

  • Well you masturbate and you don't feel emotional about your hand or hairbrush or whatever.

  • For a lot of guys, it's just a means to an end. It's just a way of getting an orgasm.

  • Like it says in "Are Women the Stronger Sex" from obooko, some men are just wired like that. And even if a woman has sex with a man and doesn't plan on becoming emotionally attached to him, she often ends up developing feelings for him.
