If this was the case, no woman would ever be able to go through with no strings attached-sex without wanting to get emotionally involved with her partner. I seriously doubt that this is the case. Women feel like having sex and then nothing else just like men do. |
well perhaps there are always those emotions...but perhaps under certain circumstances...those are overlooked... |

I mean, women who go psycho once they sleep with a guy and constantly call you, they probably got an overdose of the hormone, a woman who can just have sex and walk away not really phased, probably recieves very little of the hormone.
I know that there is a hormone involved (I cannot think of the name.) We learned about it in sex ed. at school in grade 10, and I also read about it recently. |
If you ask me, the reason that this happens is more a guilty conscience towards the norms and rules that the individual thinks that he/she is bound by sexwise. But if someone could come up with scientific evidence that it's actually a hormonal effect, then that'd be interesting :) |

I am looking...
DAMN I wish my sex ed. teacher was here. Now I REALLY wish I could remember stupid like the name of a hormone, it would make my search easier! |

Attachment is a longer lasting commitment and is the bond that keeps couples together when they go on to have children. Important in this stage are two hormones released by the nervous system, which are thought to play a role in social attachments:
Oxytocin - This is released by the hypothalamus gland during child birth and also helps the breast express milk. It helps cement the strong bond between mother and child. It is also released by both sexes during orgasm and it is thought that it promotes bonding when adults are intimate. The theory goes that the more sex a couple has, the deeper their bond becomes
Vasopressin - Another important chemical in the long-term commitment stage. It is an important controller of the kidney and its role in long-term relationships was discovered when scientists looked at the prairie vole
So, I am assuming it is "Vasopressin" |

Yours sounds about right too. |

Maybe this hormone theory is why some GUYS get attached to a person even if the feeling isn't reciprocated. If it is hormonal, then it's created by the body, and each person has the ability to make it, and can make too much if the right factors are there...
And sex can mean something to some people, and it can be only a physical thing. I guess that I am a person that applies the notion of sex to love.
Besides, if I only needed a quick nut, I'd jerk off. It'd be quicker and easier.
Every person has a different notion of sex, and what it means. I respect the people who view it different than I do. I don't think that there is a set way that we SHOULD think. as long as someone finds someone who feels the same way, then it's all good. I'll quit rambling now. |

Hm, sounds a bit vague, but I'll play along nevertheless. Some questions:
- Why do we get these hormones? The only thing the body should care about is that we actually reproduce. Whether we bond with the partner later or not is really of little importance in that sense.
- If it is released by both sexes through their respective orgasms, how come the female orgasm is so elusive and harder to obtain via penetration, which ultimately is the way humans reproduce? |

^^^ Interesting indeed.

I would never have a one night stand. I just think that's disrespectful to yourself and your partner. Sex is more than just sticking the pen0r into the p00ntang. It's a physical manifestation of two peoples feelings for each other. |
Linking respect to physical manifestation of people's feeling has little to do with sex itself.
Respect means an objective, hence unbiased, unconditional consideration and regard for rights, values, beliefs and property. As long as you're not being disrespected by their attitude, by the time you choose to have seletive respect (either for a specific field, such as a person's properties, or a group of individuals, such as "those who you think that deserve to be respected) there's abuse. Even if you link respect to "admiration", as long as both partners are willing in have no-strings-attached sex and aren't harming anyone else, there's no reason for you to mind them.
As for sex being a physical manifestation, that's true, which doesn't necessarily nulls the idea of having a one night stand. Among the feelings that can lead to a physical manifestation, there can be plain sexual attraction, financial needs and many other causes completely unrelated to love itself. Kisses, hugs and petting can also be seen as physical manifestations of love, not necessary have a sense of respect linked to them. |

I agree. I do not mind them (my other post from today in here). I was just stating how I felt about it (since the thread was dead at the time)
Also, I agree that kisses, hugs, etc. are also the same thing, just not quite as intense as the actual act.
(if you're still doing the trying to learn English thing, I believe it would null the idea instead of nulls) |
