Sex and Love .....Are the two equated or seperate?

As a Pisces to a fault of my own I must admit I am in love with being in love. I guess I read too many walt disney stories growing up and took the dream for the reality. I have to ask the question about sex and love from any zodiac point of view and any sex point of view.

Are sex and love equated? Is sex just a physical thing with no emotion? Is love about friendship and caring and having to do nothing with sex?

If this is true what is the purpose of the sanctuary of marriage? Why not have sex with those partners who seem appealing and fun? Why not be in love with your best friend?

It seems that when people get married and it ends or it breaks away, the parties are so disappointed of the let down. What is marriage? What is the purpose of it?

Let me know what your thoughts are. I am exploring this whole realm and would be interested to here everyone's take on it.

"I am in love with being in love."

This is the story of a pisces life.

"Is sex just a physical thing with no emotion? Is love about friendship and caring and having to do nothing with sex?"

You can have one without the other - they aren't mutually exclusive. However, they are definitely more satisfying when they go together. 😉

The problem is not marriage, its the people getting married. Sex and love are different because sex has three letters and love has four.

In love with being in love? That sounds more lika a Leo. That's basically the story of my life. I'm always in love with someone, and if I'm not ... well, never been there actually.

Sex and love together can move oceans, but I don't need love to have sex. I always have that magic crush on the women I'm with, and that's more than enough for me. Sex is first and foremost about having fun, I don't see why love always has to be a part of that. Sex and love are two different things, altough when combined they make some beautiful fireworks.

I like what you're saying there @Pisces Dream; why not have sex with those partners who seem appealing and fun? That's basically how I see it. Why does everything have to be about "nesting"? Why do we have to find that true love in every partner we sleep with? Are relationships really that fun? Apart from not being alone, that is. But that's what friends are for.

And what about marriage? I never had any high thoughts of marriage. I don't think I could stick to one woman for the rest of my life (read above), and I don't think I am supposed to either. I just don't like what relationships eventually evolve into.

I can't find any balance in a relationship; it usually begins with me being head over heels in love with her, I worship her to the extent that I can't even think of sex. Second phase is where I learn that she in fact is a human being, and our relationship reaches a more mature level where we become like best friends. I love her, but I don't desire her. She on the other hand, being a woman and all, feels we're better than ever. So you see how sex in a relationship is an equation I'll never learn to figure out.

Sex outside of a relationship is super hot! It's about meeting and getting to know new people in the most intimate way, and I really love that. But sex within a relationship is like masturbation to me. Basically you're having sex with someone you know too well.

Wow who dug up this old topic...lol

To answer your sorta question enfant_terrible, that was my point of the topic....the two don't have to equate. In old traditional values it is taboo to be able to enjoy the act of sex. I do agree with all that has been said. That is my point if one wants to experiement with sexuality it should be encouraged rather than forbidden. I do agree to have sex with someone you are passionate about it makes a huge difference, however I must admit I have had sex with some men I did not love and it was passionate. grrrrrr

Ultimately we all want the story book romance of love, but lets admit it....it is not an easy task to find that person.

PD, you kind of look like a crab.

"""I am in love with being in love."

SR "PD, you kind of look like a crab."

I am not sure if that is a compliment or an insult. 😛

I'm married to my best friend.

SD ....you got my humor!!!! 😛 I dunno, the photo was taken at Orlando Airport and I was up at the crack of dawn, I guess I could look like a crab. 😛

How are you SD?? I hope all is well in your life. 🙂

I find these two things to be very different.
