  • You are definitely correct. Well, for me you are. I need an emotional connection with someone to want to be intimate. It has to have a special meaning to me, not just mindless sex with a hookup or one night stand. That doesn't do it for me at all.

    I need to have a bond with the person. That is something that forms over time through being with him, dating, etc. After a while, if we have good chemistry, I form an emotional connection. Only after that will I consider intimacy.

    The reason is hard feeling to explain. Through the emotional connection, I feel loved, desired, cared for, and on and on. Those emotions want me to be with him physically. Then there is the other part. That is something that we (should) only share together. No one else shares that experience, which adds to the emotional part.

    I hope this explains it a little bit. It is really hard to put into words the way I feel about my partner. Just like it is hard to put a lot of emotions into words, like why someone is crying for no reason.

    • Thanks, this cleared up a few things, just wanted to ask though, after getting an emotional connection to a guy, is there any level at all of physical attraction? Or is having sex based solely on all those emotions?

    • Oh, absolutely there is a physical attraction. It is the emotional part that drives me though. Take the sex out of it and look at what most girls look at first in a guy. Sure, we obviously see what he looks like and can be physically attracted. What is more important though are things like personality, character, morals, values, etc etc. It is the intangible things that make me want to be with a guy over the physical qualities. This is much like the emotional part of sex versus physical attraction. Both are required for me but one is much stronger. Hope that helps clear it up a bit more.

    • I have that feeling of satisfaction that I'm finally getting answers 😄. Another thing I don't understand is that if the emotional connection is what drives the sexual attraction, then do woman ever feel horny for sex? Because the emotional connection I'm sure is there 24/7, so are woman in the mood for sex 24/7? or are woman only horny at certain times? if they are only horny at certain times, then what makes a woman become horny? Is that where physical attraction comes into play?

  • I think having that emotional connection is pleasurable. Combining emotional pleasure with sexual pleasure is highly erotic.

    Making an emotional connection is like smelling your favorite food and knowing what it is going to taste like before taking your first bite.

    • Is there any level of physical attractiveness though? Like male features? For example, abs, muscles, broad shoulders, similarly to how guys are attracted to female features, butt, breasts, hair, face, legs etc, or is it solely based on an emotional connection?

    • Of course there is!

    • Yea but does the physical attractiveness turn on a woman slightly, like make her want to have sex slightly? Or is the physical attractiveness similar to how a cat or puppy is cute?

  • Sex is better with an emotional connection. Physical attraction makes me sexually attracted to you.
    A little teasing makes me want more. But not too much because I'm a brat!!

    • What kind of physical attraction? Like broad shoulders for example?

    • I'm not going to tell you what I like because even if YOU had it I'd still be repulsed. I don't want to be mean but you have to be someone I've never met in my life to ever have a chance with me and then even then you gotta tick all the boxes to which i won't tell no man. They seem to use what women like just to get in her panties faster

    • I understand you, I'm simply asking about the psychology of a relationship from a woman's perspective to further my own knowledge about this subject, I understood that it was mainly all down to an emotional connection that turned a girl on, but your saying that a physical attraction also does, which I thought only turned on men, so I'm asking how does the physical attraction work from a woman's point of view, I understand you don't want to give personal info and I'm not really asking about your private life anyway, I'm asking about woman in general.

  • I wouldn't go so far as to say emotional connections make me horny. However, I will say that having an emotional connection with a guy makes me more comfortable opening up and being vulnerable with them which ultimately leads to sex (the most vulnerable you can be with someone on a physical level).

    It really all goes back to the hunter/gatherer days mentality. Guys actively look for women who would be best for reproducing while women actively look for men who can take care of them. Guys are attracted to women visually because body types will ultimately determine how likely it is that a woman will reproduce for the man. While emotional connections allow women to feel safe/protected by a man and give women the opportunity to decide whether or not that specific man will be someone reliable in the future and continue to protect them and their offspring.

    That being said, there have been scientific studies done on when love hormones get released in the brain. It's pretty interesting, there's a TED talk about it as well. Women release the highest love hormones during orgasm while men release the highest love hormones when they feel ready to commit to a woman. Ironically, I feel like that might also play a pretty big role in determining attraction. Here's a link if you'd like to watch it.

  • An emotional connection creates a bond. Without it, you might as well be roommates.
