I have often heard people say that sex and love have nothing to do with each other. I completely disagree with that. Sex is a very intimate thing and not something that can really be shared between people who are not close. The keys to good sex do not lie in technical areas (yes, size too) but in the emotional ones. Trust, openness and caring for each other are necessary to fully enjoy one another. I am not saying that sex will lead to love or vice-versa but I do think that sex would be a very empty thing without love between the two people.

Unfortunately, many people end up having sex with someone in the hopes of finding love. It is sad that there are people so willing to take advantage of someone's loneliness. Maybe they don't realize how hurtful their actions are or honestly believe that sex is just a physical thing. Walk into any local night club and you can see these broken hearts in progress. It is amazing the way the ones looking for a companion and the ones looking for a quickie always manage to find each other.

Although some people may seem happy enough with these types of encounters, it is only a matter of time before most start to feel that there is something missing. The thing that is missing is love. Not necessarily love that will lead to marraige but love that allows you to be free and open with each other. I am admittedly biased on this subject since my boyfriend and I were friends for 2 years before we dated and have been together off and on for about 3 years. Still, what I enjoy is not so much any physical act but the sense of closeness we share, which is the whole point.

If you disagree with me, write to me with your opinion and I will post it on this page.
