    I have no idea about rarity, but I know I can shutoff all attraction to other women when I'm in a good relationship.

    Am I crying after sex, not usually. When I hear, “emotionally intimate,” I think feelings of warmth, caring, and familiarity. I guess this definition sounds......boring. But I feel my sex life is far from boring. So I guess the answer is yes, but not so emotional that it is generic and unfavorable? It's warm and inviting, but still shocking and breathtaking. It's caring but, not slow and always about you. The touch is loving and gentle, but raw enough to still make her smile and blush when she think about it in public.
    I am happy because I am content with who I am. My wife is not responsible for my happiness, she enhances my happiness because she is so good to me.

    It all a matter of context isn't it? Warm, caring and familiar can be a family dinner with a fire in the fireplace on a cold night, it can be a talk with an old friend, or it could be passionate sex with a partner who fullly knows and loves you.

    I've known some men who have felt the emotional attachment during sex, and some who haven't. The last guy i was with, sadly, was a somewhat cold (or lukewarm at best) man - sex was good, but afterwards he'd disconnect again, and I'd be left feeling emptier than ever. I was quite attached to him, and felt as though he was treating me like a mistress, and he only seemed to want me on his own terms. Thinking back, he was not much of a man at all.

    The man I'm with now is completely different, and as far as sex goes, I definitely feel the emotional attachment from both ends. He's very affectionate during sex - kisses me and touches my face a lot, likes to take his time, VERY thorough, etc. I don't feel empty afterward anymore - a first for me - since we both act a little giddy and goofy with each other afterwards. He's always told me that sex in general is a lot of fun, but when it's with someone he loves, he says it's a completely different experience.

    So, yeah. Definitely depends on the guy.

    This sounds like me and the man i am with now, as far as giddy goes... I have NEVER felt this strong of a connection with a man before!! Outside of the bedroom and inside of the bedroom, our relationship never ceases to amaze me. Sex is so much better when it is with someone who knows you and love you, as WC said.

    I've been with five people, and only one I've felt an extreme attachment to. And I'll be honest, usually if I'm physically attracted to someone, I don't mind sleeping with them. Since the one that I did feel that connection with, I can't even look at another guy in that type of way.

    So, yeah, I think saying "rare" is even an understatement.

    I gotta say 100% truth...sex has never attached me emotionally, but how far a woman is willing to go outside of boundaries to please me whether they were good at it or not can make me fall in love.
