How men don’t feel any connection after intimacy?

I had several virtual sex with strangers. Even if I didn’t know them, I kinda felt connection with them (when we did several times). But they didn’t feel anything toward me. I would like to feel nothing too. Cause I always want them to care about me, like I do about them.

  • One of the reasons that women were always discouraged from having casual sex historically is to protect her feelings. It's long been understood that men and women work differently in many ways, and one of those differences is that (most) men can separate sex and love/emotional connections, while (most) women cannot - at least when they have a low body count.

    For women, having sex will release oxytocin, a hormone that makes her feel bonded to the man, and this happens whether or not she even liked the guy in the first place. But if the man doesn't return those feelings, or if he breaks up with her, then she's going to feel some emotional pain from having that bond broken.

    This is true for men as well, with one major difference - (most) men have to have (romantic) feelings up-front in order to bond during sex. Men evolved to desire sex with every woman he finds physically attractive, even though he won't have romantic feelings with the majority of those women. In situations where he sleeps with a girl he DOES have romantic feelings for, THEN he feels that bonding feeling that women almost always feel, but if he doesn't have those romantic feelings from the start, then he could have sex a thousand times with a girl and still not have feelings or a "connection" with her. And because he has no bond with that girl, he doesn't suffer any emotional damage when things end. He only feels that emotional damage when things end with a girl he had feelings for from the start.

    Whether or not a guy has feelings for a girl is, yes, partially about her looks, but it's more about her personality and attitude. A girl can change her looks and get men to lust after her (and want casual sex with her), but in order for a guy to have feelings for her, her personality and attitude needs to be a certain way from the first time he meets her. Men generally know from either their first significant interaction with a girl OR after observing her interact with other people for a while, if he has feelings for her, and that's mostly because he needs to have enough information about her personality and attitude to know if he has feelings for her.

    If he doesn't have feelings, but she's physically attractive, he will often still want to have sex with her, but that will be lust and nothing more. So many women mistake a man's lust for love, but LOVE from a man looks very different from lust, because they are two separate things for a man, even though for most women, love and lust can't be separated.

    You can't change how men work, so the best you can do is adjust your own thinking and behavior to make sure you get what you really want, and not give away the farm to guys who will never give you what you want.

  • That’s what I felt when I was with my ex girlfriend.

    we were both virgins and we used to masterbate together on the phone (voice), when we used to finish she would just end the call.

    She was cold about it, I wanted her to stay for a bit after we finished but I didn’t tell her because I felt less of a man doing so plus I didn’t want to sound clingy.

    The man should be the one who feels cold after, not the other way around.

    and she always didn’t like to talk about it the next day.

    she would just change the subject.

    even though she was the one who always initiated the sex talk (masterbating)

    I didn’t even know girls liked it before I met her.

    • I understand u😭 especially when they cum first and just end call, and don’t care about u. You feel used

    • But probably she experienced such thing before you. Maybe other guy just ended call and when they finished like she did with u. So to not feel that pain again she did it to you first. Cause she expected such behaviour from you and didn’t want to be like victim, it’s like coping mechanism. And probably she wanted to revenge that guy through you

    • Maybe

  • Virtual sex shouldn't make anyone attached but in person there is a chemical exchange so If he doesn't get attached then he's probably denying it

  • Not just men. I don't either. Sex to me is fun.

  • Men feel a connection when they have sex with someone they love. Sorry, but you aren’t going to feel any love from strangers online. Those men are simply looking to get off.

    You don’t want to feel nothing… I imagine that would be depressing. I think you just need to look elsewhere for a connection.

  • Virtual sex?

  • Virtual sex is not sex.

  • What's virtual sex?

  • Depends on the guy. I generally struggle to be intimate with a girl I have zero attraction to…

  • real sex gives more of an intimacy

  • You’re wrong. Jusr different frequencies.

  • Virtual sex is different that real sex so maybe you might make a connection.

  • Being virtual helps…

  • Men have a super power to forget once they cum. It is what it is.

    • Unfortunately, I feel a bit attached too.
