Long term emotional connection is definitely a wonderful thing, but people can get so caught up in looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right that they miss out on something good with Mr. or Miss. Right Now.

Life is short, and a human being's window for peak sexual capacity is even shorter. When I'm old and decrepit and no longer able to perform sexually, I can honestly say that I will have no regrets when the big blue bus reaches my stop.

I have had an emotional connection with all of the women I've been with. It matters little to me whether that emotional connection lasted hours, weeks, months or years. All that matters is that it was mutually good and fulfilling and lasted as long as she needed it to. I don't fret over break ups the way some people do. I simply go out and find someone new to share my bed with me.

Are we talking Saipo or Demi?

Interesting

That's my romantic fantasy, but so far that hasn't happened. So, I guess it's not required, but sure would add depth to the experience.

Not really I would already find you interesting and intriguing or we wouldn't talk. However if a bore, sensually stunted and no imagination or sense of humor.....Not happening unlees full moon in Libra/Aries lol

Women do, men don't....as I am sure there has to be exceptions both ways

To sustain a relationship that is more serious, yes, of course. But for less serious? Not so much.

Emotional conection and mind stimulation are prob two different things. But i can count on the fingers of one hand ( i won't say how many fingers ?) the women i have been with whom i had NOT known for quite a considerable time before we became intimate. Regarding mind stimulation, i am turned by women with wit. Cerebral foreplay, be it visual or verbal also greatly enhances the sensual experience.

This just seems a bit condescending.

My only answer is " You don't know what you are missing " ?

Yes....totally agree. I've told a few men over the years that the sexiest part of their body was between their ears. Some got it.....some, sadly, didn't...

I'm an introvert, so I need there to be an emotional connection before I can even think about pursuing someone.

If I the one being pursued then I think, in theory, that it would be (slightly) less important.

Mostly..there have been exceptions..???

Is emotional connection sufficient? I have lots of male friends with whom I have deep emotional connections, but I am not sexually attracted to them.
For me, forming an emotional connection is basically making friends and if I make friends so that I can sleep with them, that would be deceptive and insincere. So, what does forming an emotional connection mean to you?

Last time I tried that aproach I drove her Crazy and that ruined the Carnal Knowledge part. Nah, nah. Like my ex wife used to say.. "marriage can wait for tomorrow, just shut up, some music and let's do it"

Yes. It doesn't have to be a committed relationship, but I know I have to have a connection.

I hope not repeating self Kind of apples and oranges
Women can and are as emtionally unavailabke as men
Please Gtbeans up!
Women (sex workers) enjoy sex and are not attached nor give a Fk about that Women want equality and equity Own your shit. Its ok to not feel "feel in live " every time you make sweet music
Men need to cut the condescending shit... We arent weak...you are so full of yourselves..Hello GTFU

To me, the are one and the same. Making love physically must be an extension of the mind. I was once asked, "Can't you just enjoy a good f**k and forget all the love stuff?
My answer was, "I supose not."

I prefer emotional connection before sex. Tried prostitutes and was not that good.

Yes

Yup. It's just part of who I am. A demisexual that does not do one night stands and avoids the hookup culture like th plague.

To some degree at least. Who would want to have sex with a complete bitch?

Yes absolutely.

Exactly
