Yep. I would agree with this. Add fear it. Fear than being sexual will somehow reduce them to being "only" wanted for sex.

For me it doesn't mean no emotion, and it doesn't even necessarily mean no romantic feelings. It just means no jealousy and no desire to control or possess the person. Just because a woman and I have feelings for each other doesn't mean we can't also have feelings for other people or enjoy sex with other people. She doesn't belong to me, nor I to her.

NSA does not mean no emotions. It simply means that there is no need of or expectation for any kind of commitment or ongoing relationship. Of course there are emotions. There at least needs to be lust, and hopefully like, and preferably caring for each other's pleasure.

I think most people realize this and can handle it. Some may delude themselves because they secretly or subconsciously want more, but even so, as adults they need to take responsibility for the outcomes of their decisions.

I agree with this post.
Mainly, women are kind of socialized to link emotion to intimacy. But once many get to a certain age, they realize they don't care about stereotypes and society, and they do what they want, when they want. But they just don't advertise it to friends or whatever.
I know some women that sneak out at 1am, 2am, 3am, and then go home and NO ONE is the wiser.
But really, IMO, I almost am convinced women are BETTER at NSA than men. Especially if it is good for both parties.

I completely agree. I've had the NSA and yes, there was some emotion. There is no emotion of jealousy and no romantic emotion but there is lust and there is somewhat caring for one another. I firmly believe it takes a certain type of personality that can handle this type of relationship.

Default Of course there is NSA...

Of course there is such a thing. Its mostly a matter of being able to separate physical from romantic connections with people. Similar to what others have said here, you can have a emotions, like feeling pretty dang awesome, but that doesn't mean you're creating a lasting bond with someone. Sometimes it's just sex and that's ok.

I heard some people do it? What is the psychological effect after the deed? Do men and women feel the same way? The loneliness, empty feeling?

If you have experience it, tell me about how you feel afterward?
In my friends' experiences, it doesn't work in the end. Even without LOVE, people have emotions. When you try to approach a relationship mechanically, its not going to work. Feelings get hurt.
