"Ok so whilst having too much time on my hands today I have been perusing the forum rather a lot. One sentence that I find crops up lots is "its just sex". Now I'm aware we all tick differently but to me, in looking for a meet on here, if I wouldn't date them I wouldn't have sex with them. I do get told alot because of this that I'm on the wrong site, which I kinda take umbrance to for the simple reason that if, for example I used pof, how would I go about approaching the awkward I'm a bit if a deviant conversation. We all use the site how we want but this particular sentence does stick with me because having sex with someone is one of the most intimate things you can do with another human being, and I just wonder if that has been lost slightly along the way? Answers on a post card...... No not really, here would be fine. " I totally agree and use the site in that way. Post card in the post. lol | |||

" Totally aggree with you! There has to be a mental and physical attraction! I don't want to sleep my way through the site, but at the same time I don't want a relationship! More a frieds with benefits that way I get quality not quantity! If that makes sense " It makes total sense | |||
"I have to say you are stunning and any man would be very lucky to have you and a date, wine and dine social to get to know one another is not too much to ask for I think there is SEX then real hot sex and for that we need chemistry for the big bang x" I wouldn't expect to be wined and dined though, that's not the reason I'm here.... I am however here for the big bang! Oh and thanks for the compliment, I'm very flattered | |||

"I whole heartedly agree with your view OP. The "this isn't a dating site" or "it's just sex" both really grate with me. I don't have "just sex" with "just anyone", if I don't want to merit them for a drink or coffee I'm certainly not going to want to get naked with them. Some seem to think that to have more the "just sex" you are looking for a relationship, which in my case isn't the case. I am however looking for someone that I can have a conversation with out side the bedroom, before I see the inside of it. " | |||

"One on one there has to be attraction. In a club scenario it's different for me. It's just sex. " Ah, yes, agreed that it's different in clubs. | |||

"This thread had just made me feel a whole lot better!! I totally agree with you all...what is wrong with needing to be attracted to someone before wanting to have mind blowing sex with them?? Now I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way I'm sticking to my guns instead of filling the application out for the nunnery!! " Even if you were different to everyone else in terms of how you like meets to be, so what? Do what suits you. Don't apologise and don't explain | |||

"In total agreement with you. There has to be that spark. That connection for me to jump into bed with whoever. I'm not after notches on the bedpost. I want friends with benefits." This just about sums it up. If I can't imagine or would want to spend a lazy afternoon in a pub with someone I can actually chat with then I probably wouldn't want to sleep with them either. That doesn't mean that it's all about the social aspect but for me it's the litmus test scenario. I've never had sex with anyone I didn't like as a friend before I slept with them; I'm not built that way and I'm old and wise enough to know that this doesn't suit everyone. | |||

"In total agreement with you. There has to be that spark. That connection for me to jump into bed with whoever. I'm not after notches on the bedpost. I want friends with benefits Err did any of that make sense? I've taken my painkillers and a bit far out maan yeah. Peace lol x" I fully agree it's about the chemistry, sex is such an intimate personal act and there's a lot of trust involved! So I can't understand people who can just disconnect during the act! | |||

"I need to have the necessary boxes ticked to want to have sex with them such as making me laugh, common interest and being a good conversationalist and of course physically attractive but when we have sex, it's definitely just sex. The other bits just help make it happen. I think maybe when some people say just sex they're separating out feelings (real emotion) from the act, which is generally a good idea if you're either married or definitely not looking for anything substantial." Spot on..think it's significant that the majority of posts on this topic are from single women and guys.. | |||
| |||
"Just sex eh? Some do just see it as a mechanical act indeed and each to their own. I would prefer to have GREAT sex with someone where the attraction is mutual. If you don't fancy someone how can you get the juices flowing so to speak. Bad sex to me is way worse than no sex. " | |||

" I think maybe when some people say just sex they're separating out feelings (real emotion) from the act, which is generally a good idea if you're either married or definitely not looking for anything substantial." Would have been an idea if I had read the whole thread first eh? This is what some could mean indeed. However some do just mean that you should not be too fussy. I remember talking to a guy in a hot tub once. He was reminiscing about the times he had been there, when some women would turn up and let everyone have a go. His words not mine. No talk of attraction either way. | |||

I'm sure it is different if you are part of a swinging couple but I can't really comment because I'm not. Just drawing on my own experiences | |||
| |||
"OP I can't believe no one else has picked up on this but can we hear more about the "I'm a bit of a deviant" please. Thank you " Ha ha if I told you I really would have to kill you muhahahaha | |||

"I total over generalisation here, but I think when it comes to fwb - woman go for the friends part first, where as men go for the benefits. If you see someone for a while, that sort of evens out." I dont necessarily agree. I prefer to build a bit of a friendship first. I find it impossible to completely separate sex and emotion the two are both sides of the same coin. Take away the emotional connection and you are basically masturbating using someone else. The moment you make someone smile emotion is involved. It's what makes the difference. Because I have feelings for someone on an emotional as well as physical or sexual level doesn't mean I have to feel possessive over or committed to them but I do feel a connection above that of purely animalistic lust and it takes the sex to a different level. | |||

Ignore the people who say you shouldn't be here, nobody owns it and your decisions are none of their business frankly. You do want more as in emotional attachment, others don't (singles and couples) I come at this from an interested stand-point as I met my husband of 14 years on a sex site.

"58 replies, only one person has mentioned 'trust' in a response. I find this interesting and troubling - so few would view 'trust' as an important factor for a playmate.

First time sex with someone you barely know is risky.You can know someone for years and they do something you wouldn't expect them to. I trust all my men not to hurt me or do anything I don't want to. I'd like to think there aren't many men in the world who couldn't be trusted like that | |||

"Just because we say its "just sex" for us doesnt mean we meet just anyone. We have high standards and only meet men who meet the criteria we look for, theres no point in meeting people that arnt what we look for. We dont look for emotional stuff or friendship though, thats way to much hassle for us " | |||
" Others will have joined, looking for what I avoid. " I think that's the point exactly. People rave in veris about men I would not meet a second time, they wanted something different to me obviously. We all want to meet with people we are attracted to, that's a given, but the 'Its only sex' line is usually used by someone who wants less of a mental/emotional thing trying to belittle someone who wants more of one, and I would suggest often due to their own angst/frustration too! | |||

"Answer this: do you cuddle everyone you have sex with afterwards? " Yes - because the comedown after a session can result in them becoming emotional and feeling vulnerable; being held is absolutely the best way to regain emotional balance. | |||

"The op and the vast majority who agree are all single , so there is an inevitable difference of opinion to those who swing as a married couple . The last thing on our mind is finding someone we would date , or even want to enjoy in our vanilla life . So , to buck the trend , we don't agree with the op at all . We happily swing with those we find attractive and who push our buttons sexually , and generally apply the one meet only rule . " | |||

Ignore the critics, swinging is what you want it to be, andand I suspect we may be in the majority But just to be an awkward bugger, if you should avoid criticising people who are looking for more then surely it's also pretty wrong to assess those who don't want more as wanting to 'stick their meat in a hole' Aren't you being just like those you criticise? Yes there are undoubtedly as many singles as swinging couples and singles but the site is still called a swinging site, possibly best then to just try to rub along and accept it as what it is." That's why I said and 'if that satisfies them both, all well and good' I'm most definitely not looking for anything beyond erotic, intimate sex and I guess friendship, to me, swinging is about having multiple friends, all of whom accept that you've got multiple friends and vice versa. As I say, its whatever you want it to be. | |||
"Ok so whilst having too much time on my hands today I have been perusing the forum rather a lot. One sentence that I find crops up lots is "its just sex". Now I'm aware we all tick differently but to me, in looking for a meet on here, if I wouldn't date them I wouldn't have sex with them. I do get told alot because of this that I'm on the wrong site, which I kinda take umbrance to for the simple reason that if, for example I used pof, how would I go about approaching the awkward I'm a bit if a deviant conversation. We all use the site how we want but this particular sentence does stick with me because having sex with someone is one of the most intimate things you can do with another human being, and I just wonder if that has been lost slightly along the way? Answers on a post card...... No not really, here would be fine. Yep totally agree, attraction, connection and pleasure set us apart from the animals " My cat definitely loves me, but I spurn his advances. | |||

"Totally agree, if you don't feel any connection why go through the motions. " For sex | |||
"We have to be able to get on with a person before we meet them....but it is still "just sex" if we do meet. There is no emotional attachment so I can't see how it can be anything else. " After reading the rest of the thread I am smiling at the "no I need a connection" from the men ( sorry men ) Looking at the answers on the thread there seems to be two camps, the single camp being the ones who say I don't want just sex. You can have just sex and still have a conversation/ get on with someone. | |||

"58 replies, only one person has mentioned 'trust' in a response. I find this interesting and troubling - so few would view 'trust' as an important factor for a playmate." Trust mostly matters on a second / subsequent meet, first meeting here or in vanilla life is more faith than trust. | |||

"Has this gone on a bit of a tangent or does connection = emotion? I'd like to be able to interact and have fun with the person I am sleeping with but I wouldn't want much/any emotion. If someone ticked all my boxes I'd probably get attached and want to date them, and I'm not really here for that (not sure why I am here sometimes!). I may have to rethink my stance on married women." not for me. A connection for me is physical,psychological and sexual. The only emotion I feel is euphoria | |||

I may have to rethink my stance on married women." No, I think people are confusing it. (maybe confused is the wrong word) Connection is what makes an interaction desirable for me. Funny, engaging, etc. But I don't want the connection to mean more, ever. It just makes an encounter far more pleasurable. I say I'm here for the connections on my single profile, that doesn't mean relationships or even emotional attachments, it means I want the connection to make me want the sex. | |||

I have a man I see from time to time that when we do meet it is a complete connection. Mentally and physically. He gets in my head, which is why the sex is so mind blowing. If I don't have that massive connection, the sex is frankly shite... And it's not just him. There are two or three men over the years that I have met on and off that get me and I trust them implicitly. I have an emotional connection to them because we are also friends now and I care about them so I suppose you'd class that as emotion but that comes with meeting people for me on a regular basis. Only one of those has ever crossed the boundary into a relationship the rest will always be just good friends. So you are terrified now that every single woman you speak to will want a relationship or will use the word emotion? | |||

"Saying , 'it's just sex.' ISN'T saying 'i fuck anything, even people I don't find attractive.' I can make my mind up in a few seconds / minutes - mind you I generally only meet if the phone conversation is good - it doesn't take much more than that. I don't think it's necessary to know , someone's politics, job , starsign, favourite film etc and near pass out if we like the same flavour ice cream and both have fluffy pink slippers! I really doubt some people on here - mostly women - when they say they see sex as recreational. I do believe that they need to feel sexually and emotionally attractive acceptable to males and that they can only validate themselves through male approval. This site somehow substitutes the lack of that in their lives. It is for me, 'just sex' although the 'just sex' is only with people I find attractive on the outside AND the inside. More so on the inside. " It's a bloody good job this site exists then | |||
"To the O.P. You are not on the wrong site. In explaining that you need some kind of connection...... the 'it's just sex' jibe is aimed at you to ridicule you OR ingore your needs and persuade you to their needs ..... same as being called a lesbian , old , a witch , bitch yada yada and all the other things that disappointed little boys say." Not just men may I add. Women have said it too. It's not gender specific | |||

"I need to have the necessary boxes ticked to want to have sex with them such as making me laugh, common interest and being a good conversationalist and of course physically attractive but when we have sex, it's definitely just sex. The other bits just help make it happen. I think maybe when some people say just sex they're separating out feelings (real emotion) from the act, which is generally a good idea if you're either married or definitely not looking for anything substantial." I agree with this. I can meet someone at a party or club and instantly hit it off with them. If I can chat like I've known them years, flirt with them, giggle like a kid, then I know I can have sex with them. Similarly I know instantly if I don't like someone, my conversation is stilted and I wouldn't care if he looked like George Clooney, I would not go near him. So whilst other factors do come into force, the minute the party's over then that's it, the magic of that night is over and I don't think of them again | |||
