Today we'll be discussing the importance you personally attach to sex. Is sex for you merely a physical release, or do you attach a deeper spiritual or emotional meaning to it? Do different sexual acts have different meanings emotionally to you? Does your partner have any effect on the emotional importance you attach to sex?
Personally, I attach as much emotional attachment as I can to the act. Such that the more emotionally involved with my partner I am, the more significance any sexual activity will have. My previous relationship was extremely emotionally intense. All the right connections were present and we thought we were in love. Just cuddling was very emotionally charged. However, my current relationship is platonic, and there's almost no emotional attachment to the act, it's almost like mutual masturbation. Still lots of fun, maybe more because it's carefree, but there's no deeper meaning to it.
Please try to be mature and civil, and not criticize another person based on how they feel on this subject. You can comment, but please keep things polite and remember that for many, this is a touchy subject.
So, what does sex mean to you?
so be it.

Sex is, to me, a very deep expression of affection.
Only affection, or is it Love? Would you have sex with someone you liked very much, but knew you could never love? And is that stance across the spectrum of sex, or does it only apply to intercourse? Is your opinion on manual stimulation or oral stimulation any different?

Verily, Beaukat a.k.a Nibbles doth proclaim:
I'm not really sure. I'd love to have it as an emotional attachment, but if the needs there, well....so be it.
So for you, it's more of a physical release than an emotional growing closer. If you felt love for your partner, would it change the way you thought about sex or behaved sexually? Do you think that you would be the same in a platonic as you would be in a romantic one?

Can you speculate based on your own moral compass, your own perspective on your personality, and your opinions about how you would feel?
Were you to meet someone tomorrow, and she's a great girl, but you don't love her. You persue a relationship and a month down the road, she tells you that she wants you to be her first. How do you think you would react?

No, Really. Bite me.

Iron Parcelan had this to say about Captain Planet:
Depends.
What factors does it depend on? Under which circumstances do you attach more/less emotional significance?
It's no big deal unless you're attached.

well, someone already posted this earlier this year, but, youll find the answers to all your questions right here.
Your personal beliefs, or are you postulating that every individual fits nicely into that theory?
No, Really. Bite me.
For me, it varies on the encounter. I CAN have sex with someone I don't necessarily have feelings for, as raw, animal lust knows no limits, just love is rather nice mixed in, too 
. Plus then they would understand if I ran my hand down their spine. Because I'm horribly romantic and I lurve them.

I think it would definetly change the way I behaved towards the person, but, liek a lot of people here, I'll let you know when I find out.
