Is it true - women give sex to get love and men give love to get sex.? Can a woman enjoy sex without love?

[atskitty2]

Such a general statement. It could be true in some cases, not in all. Depends on the people, the situation. What brings up the question?

Yes, a woman can certainly enjoy sex without love. Again, I'm curious what brings about such questions?

[Pepperminty]

I agree with Kitty, this is a very general statement. I don't think the ability to enjoy sex without love is based on someone's gender. Nor is the act of having sex early on to "catch" their partner. Every person is different.

Female sexuality is a little complex. Do women sexually desire only those men for whom they feel an emotional connection?

Does lack of sex affect women in the same way as men?

That's where this term friends with benefits comes from. They don't want love but just sex nothing else.

[muffin70]

but do women offer a man sexual favours if the man does something for the woman? This has happened to me with my ex GF and my wife... when my EX & I split up we remained friend...occassionally getting together for sex... and when I needed a new flatmate (room mate) she moved in... but her room was always messy. on a couple of occasions she said if I helped her clean her room she would give me a blow job - and she did. She knew I liked sex and knew she could use it to her advantage!

Now my wife can't find her good garden secatuers (pruners) and I've had a good look for them too... and she said if I can find then she will wear one of her sexy scarves while giving me a blow job.... I'm desperate to find them as it's been months since I'cve had a blow job!!

As has been said, you can't generalise. I do think men and women view sex (in a relationship) differently. I don't necessarily agree that women give sex to get love, but rather to get affection and intimacy - and that men who are getting sex are more likely to be affectionate and want intimacy. I don't believe all women are only interested in sex if there is love or some sort of affectionate/intimate relationship. Many of us have a totally different outlook on sex within a r/ship and sex without it and know (and appreciate) the difference between love and lust.

I do think women cope better when sex is in short supply. As cliche as it may be, and as unpalatable for some, I honestly believe men are very much more dependent on it.

Yeh, too general a statement. "Give love to get sex". I my opinion for the vast majority of men. No way. That statement makes it sound very shallow.

When they're 18, maybe...

[raindancer]

There are exceptions, but...

I think a woman will just do/give whatever a man wants/needs/desires to keep/secure him while she cares. Then she'll deny just about everything when she cares less and she takes him for granted.

And men will do almost anything to get sex, unless they're low in testosterone. And once they think they've secured a sexual partner, they'll concentrate on things they really care, very few of them involving women and female interests.

I'm painting a black and white world. Of course there are nuances in all of that.
