Sex without love- justified?

Hey everyone
I have been a silent spectator on DM since some time and I couldn't well, resist asking this.
We all are used to the playboy and playgirl(relatively new in the hindi industry) characters of movies. Though it is fun to watch them on screen, trying to imagine somebody like that as your own partner might seem strange (Note: I am NOT talking just about pre marital sex, thats relatively lame)
So here are my main points:
1. Sex is primarily a need. It is deeply associated with love but people still go for physical relationships which involve more of lust than love. Is it justified? If both partners are okay with the relationship even though they know its temporary, is it right to satiate their needs like this?
2. Sex is more than a need for good food. It involves an intimate level of sharing. IF you are throwing away your body means you are insensitive and succumb to your needs easily.

What do you guys think? Disassociating sex and emotions is right? Men are traditionally allowed and expected to do this. Is it alright if a woman does this?
Just in case you are experienced in the matters of physical intimacy and think that am barking nonsense, please tell me. You see, am still nice and untouched 😉

Tell me your views :)

These days things are getting pretty commercial.
Sex for money is pretty common.
I have read about persons offering themselves in exchange for new phones and other devices too.
There are several cases of so called "love" with the intention of sex only. It is a devious world so "caveat emptor".

First things first. I like your posting style.. and welcome.
To put it simply - I believe sex and love have nothing to do with each other.
I understand that your post might be just too much deep for some kids around here to understand and they might confuse it with prostitution. Ignore them.

yea but its like not many people would come out in the open about it, specially in front of their life partners (am assuming there is no cheating involved). Does that mean it is a guilty indulgence?

Thank you so much for the compliment.
Even I think sex and love are not really related but its kind of hard to implement, isn't it?

Sex means different things to different people. For some, it is an experience to be shared only with those you love. For others, it is simply a means to an end (procreation). Some folks think sex is a great way to let off steam and give in to your animal urges, and for a significant count of the population, it is a combination of all three. (or more).

Is lust-centric sex justified? 'Justified' in this context is a tricky word. What is acceptable in my view may or may not be acceptable in your books, but that doesn't make me wrong- it just means I have a different opinion on things. I don't think one night stands or 'loose sex' is wrong if the people involved are comfortable and have given their full adult consent.

Women who choose to exercise their sexual independence, so to speak, are labelled s**ts, while this isn't the case with men. I have a problem with this even though both genders are tuned differently when it comes to biology and reproduction. Even though females are the archetypal nurturers, I'd like to see a day when society learns to accept that we humans are far more complex than our ingrained biological wiring and there are a lot of factors, other than nature, that come into play when it comes to sex.

This, despite the fact that I personally believe sex is best experienced between two people who share a deep love and respect for one another. My beliefs are a far cry from the likes of Mills & Boons' outlook on sex and love 😆

I don't think it's a shameful thing to succumb to temptation as long as you're not hurting somebody else. What's 'normal' to us is based purely on the basis of cognition, programming, and subsequent preferences.

sexuality is not love...when sombody in sexuality they dont bother much to whom thy are making love ,any body will do...Pyar hua tho sex will disappear...😊 there will be no desire for sex...if anyone can make love to a woman/men without any love in ur heart then it is pure sexuality, it is prostitution😊
Just in case you are experienced in the matters of physical intimacy and think that am barking nonsense, please tell me. You see, am still nice and untouched 😉If anyone against sex, then they will be against everything.😊

Tell me your views :) -

Fact ye hey, those who mistake sex for love remain empty of love... Its part of natures mechanism...everybody born of sex...its there,...nothing wrong to accept it...we cant go beyond it and we cannot leave it...😊

Sex without love is nothing more then catering to the senses.
Most Asian societies do not generally accept sex before marriage and in some countries it is a crime.
Morals go down the drain when one is blind in love and also when one is drunk or drugged.
In western countries it may be a more accepted form of life.

Sex in itself is nothing but a physical venture. It's a human need beside food, drinking, shelter, etc. Even celibate people can't deny the force of hormones and carnal desires. Romantic love on the other hand is the emotional part of human desires. Most people want to engage in a romantic relationship for good.

I have no problem with people disassociating sex with love. They are different aspects of human needs. They can be entwined together but that need not be a must. Succumbing to human's most primate and basal need may not be as bad as our current notion about sex tells us. Thanks to the Victorian view of sex, and societal conditioning, a lot of us hold this view that it is a sinful thing to do unless it takes place behind the closed doors of a bedroom of a husband and wife for procreative purposes.

Teenage pregnancies, STDs etc are as much the product of poor sexual education as much as it is of sexual irresponsibility. If done properly, the end result of sex is the same. There is sexual promiscuity, and then there is sexual irresponsibility. One does not imply the other.

However, when it comes to my personal views, I prefer to keep it to the one I decide to settle down in the future. I doubt it is for social conditioning as I have gone against so many culturally held views. My personal views probably stem from the fact that I am a relationship-minded person. Nevertheless, I have no problem with other's views as long as they are not pushed into my throat.

Edit - I detest the s**t label being thrown onto the members of one gender while members of the other gender is held as the epitome of lover-boys if they can get laid as many times as possible. 😆

Yep single unmarried mums can be the worst nightmare. some may leave the baby at the door step of the guy responsible. Hmm... most mums love their baby too much I think.
But if she is educated and able to stand on her own then it is not so bad. Society can be cruel.
