How much does sex increase an emotional bond between partners?

TBH, sex may even make them hate each other.

I observed it's not sex, but orgasm from intimacy that increases emotional bonds.

Examples of my obsetvations:

1. After sex the couple breaks up. Happen many times here where girls complained guys left after took her virginity.

2. Contrasting, in marriage sites, married couples are advised to have intimate sex everyday for 6 months to rebuild their romance.

3. Personally, strip-and-poke sex is a lot less satisfying than intimate sex after date nights.

Hence my answer is yes and no depending on how intimate the sex is and the orgasm therein.

Strictly on a biological level, it releases a hormones in the female partner which promotes pair bonding, at least at low body counts. This does not happen in the male partner. Neither is better but men and women are different, not the least of which is having sex differently for different reasons. Fight this apolitical biological truth at your peril.

If it’s good sex, significantly increases. If it’s bad sex, it decreases the bond.

I wouldn't say it makes me more emotionally attached but definitely a bit clingy

[McGrill]

Clingy for sex?

[Opinion Owner]

@McGrill Clingy as in wanting to be around them. However that is not the same as emotionally attached because I cannot guarantee I will be more in love with them after the sex.

[McGrill]

But you'd obviously be addicted the guy for sex right?

[Opinion Owner]

@McGrill Depends on the guy and how things went after the sex

[McGrill]

Fair enough. If its good it would result in a friends with benefits?

[Opinion Owner]

@McGrill I’m not interested in that

[McGrill]

If you're not emotionally attached why would you date?

[Opinion Owner]

@McGrill I’m saying I cannot guarantee I would be after the sex. I have had bad experiences that left me emotionally detached but physically attached after the sex

[McGrill]

So what did those situations leave you into? Being friends with benefits ofc?

[Opinion Owner]

@McGrill I just said I have no interest in being friends with benefits

[NathanDavis]

as much as the significance you give to it...

[mandyfire98]

Great answer Nathan

[NathanDavis]

@mandyfire98 I do think that's how it should be (=

[mandyfire98]

It's definitely true. Like there are couples who have checked out of their relationship who might still have sex every now and again. That proves your point. Also hookups or one night stands. Sure there are always going to be feelings during the act but after the act you kinda understand that it was just hormones and intimacy and it's over now lol. It's not like people are just falling in love non-stop because of sex. I hear that all the time about women. That we fall in love instantly because of sex. Hahaha it's like, calm down it wasn't that great lol.

[NathanDavis]

@mandyfire98 similar to when some people think or say that men show their love through sex... or that women will only have sex for/in love no they don't, not exactly like that... lol everyone is different, many situations are different from one another... so it is about the person, and the other person too, the moment, their choices and there could also be situations in which people have feelings for each other but then... the sexual chemistry or compatibility just won't be there... and it might be a detriment to the relationship so... I really think it's case by case scenario and sex, can also definitely be one great experience without having much deeper emotional bonds going into it... this of course, for the people who want it to be that way

[mandyfire98]

Absolutely agree 💯

[NathanDavis]

@mandyfire98 cheers ✋
