Plenty of women enjoy 'loveless' or 'emotionless' sex too. It's the simple act of sexual pleasure. Although I don't know about having sex about someone I didn't like at all. That's what turns me off about prostitutes, it seems cold and I always have the feeling that she might not enjoy it.

Love is just a chemical reaction in the brain.

So is desire.

You can have one without the other. People do it all the time.

You might love a work colleague but not want to shag them. You might want to shag a work colleague but actually dislike their personality.

Sex is fun, if you do it right.

For those people who can hook up and not have any emotional attachment, how do you do it? It seems like society is very open to hook up culture these days, but as a guy in his very early 20s, I can't really see myself hooking up with a random chick I know nothing about.

I have a friend who is a year older than me and he is still a virgin. His dad is constantly up his toosh trying to get him to "find a girl and bang her." It kind of makes me go and shake my head slightly, but perhaps my thought process is the one that is out of line?
I am not sure this is as easy as some people make it sound.

A lot of people seem to spend at least as much energy trying to avoid emotional attachments as other people spend trying to develop meaningful relationships. That doesn't sound like it is easy. I think a lot of people--especially younger men--are loathe to get attached because they think doing so will rob them of their freedom.

I dunno, I'll have to ask my SO. She was partaking and enjoying it frequently before she met me.

I'd say that plenty of emotions are involved, but love doesn't need to be one of them.
