writes:Hi Cupids.Is it possible for a man to be "in a relationship" (I mean an actual relationship where they are dating, not a FWB or no strings situation) with a woman just for the sex or because the sex is good? Does he necessarily have to have feelings for her, love her or be committed to her?Will the pull of the sex eventually wear off? Can a man have a relationship with a woman without being emotionally involved with her? Can he separate emotional involvement from sex?Thank you for your replies. :) Reply to this Question

 A man, and women too for that matter, can stay in relationships without having feelings for the person. The reaons vary, for one you have easy access to sex. But there are usually plenty other reasons, and the "easy access to sex" reason tends to be rather low on the list of reasons why. More popular reasons are financial stability, housing, comfortable lifestyle, or otherwise complications that would arise should they decide to part ways.
In a relationship without feelings the sex tends to be pretty lousy, hence why sex isn't a common reason to stay in a loveless relationship. But if sex IS the reason, in this case, then the effect of it will wear off pretty fast. Like I said, without feelings sex is rather dull.

 Yes, but it's rare to continuously have sex with someone without feelings developing.
