I agree...might as well make love to a stick of wood! People who have never had that kind of experience might see it differently!

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

A little kissing and hugging....? Or some erotica...?

Absolutely. Times I've gone without that emotional connection it was lousy for both of us. Maybe it's an age thing, but I need to be in serious 'like' at least or I'd rather watch TV alone.

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.

Yup..I'm demisexual.
I feel no sexual attraction for any gender or person except for after well over a year of close, bonding contact.
Then, it's only for that one person, and my libido is so strong it scares cis hetero men.

That sometimes does add alot of spice to a romance for sure

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

Hi, Wildgreens,

You earn website points, and help other members get to know you better, when you write an informational profile that includes your hobbies and interests, and answer all the profile questions, since that's the first place many people look when they see a new member.

Also, the website uses your profile to find member matches, so the more details you include, the better the match.

Then you make comments and write your own posts to earn more points and privileges; for instance, at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

In case you didn't know, to find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.

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.

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...

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.
