not in my experience. sex isn't driven by love it's driven by lust. I think you're talking long term friends having sex then sure they could be in love, but they could also just be drunk.

or maybe I'm just cynical

i do agree though- if you have a close friendship and are regularly sleeping together there are probably feelings there

Lust is a big part of it..a bit of chicken and egg..which came first?
If love be the end result?

We can solve that question right here, right now :

hahaha- true true

that's what always annoys me about guys who act like picking up is some major coup- it's like, ugh- we're not passive in this process you know, you haven't fooled us - we know what's going on

and yeah true- lust and love can be intertwined. this is reminding me of harry met sally - hehe

There was a senior executive I knew that had 5 daughters. He said to me, about women 'We think we pick them. We don't son. They pick us.'

Who is Calanen?

Who is Gaybriel?

Gaybriel may be Beowulf.

Gaybriel may be Beowulf.

Although he may not be. The grammar and syntax doesn't match.

NO

Yes but they have to be the ones you friendzone on first sight, which means pretty much I wouldn't touch that, it's not breedable... If there is a hint of sexual interest from the outset, it becomes much harder.

Jesus and Lazarus, another Jasin necrophilically resurrected thread.

Sex isn't just about 'breeding' Set.
Look at Gay people.
People have sex for pleasure.
For the sake of just having sex because they can.
Etc.

...I think Set is upset that I haven't brought back any of his old Topics. Cheesy

its always the same thing , i believe that the man always wants sex, the woman not so much or she would not be alone ( in most cases)in the first place. Women know there is a man out there who will want a woman at some point!!

The secret of our long, happy marriage? My wife and I take time to go to a restaurant twice a week. An intimate candlelit dinner, music and dancing.

She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.

For a lot of men there would be no other reason to ever bother to speak to a woman.

In my case I tent to talk to anyone.
