Sex and love are two different emotions; they can be connected but not necessarily. 
Some people think that when sex happens, love happens as well. No, there are more cases that sex happens when love does not even know its path into that relationship. 
It is true that after sex, you can easily fall for the person, but easily does not mean you will. 
But one thing that is for sure is that they go perfectly together.

Science Tells That Love and Sexual Desire Come From The Same Place: 

Preferences aside, science proves to us that love and sexual desire come from the same place. 

Canadian researchers conducted a study in 2012. They found the part of the brain that handles emotions is where sexual desire comes from; therefore, we feel it. Both emotional love and sexual attraction are from the insular cortex. 

Sexual desire and love lead to some of the same reactions in our brains. That means it can be easy to confuse what we are experiencing. 

Therefore, some people feel confused to figure out if it is the love they are feeling towards the other person. Maybe it is just the sexual desire that makes them want to stay connected to them. 

Love Completes Sex 

Penn State researches did a study where they questioned 98 women about sex. If there is a connection between love and sex and its definition. The majority of women believe that when love is present the sexual desire and experience are better, and it more fulfilling. These results were regardless of it being in a marriage or a dating relationship. 

 Unless you don’t want sex to be just sex, sexual desire is the right language to tell someone you love them. If you do not like the person you are having sex with, you can still feel that physical pleasure. But also, the emptiness of emotions will be explored during sex without the feelings of love.

The One Night Stand Phase 

There must be someone you know that is always up for one night stands. This person does not even mention love as an option to happen in his/her life. All they think about is having sex and never talk about that person again. Or having them always at one of their one-night stand’s list. 

Hopefully, we hope that love happens to everyone. And if this person falls in love, their sex life will be way more different than before. As per someone that didn’t even want to hear about having emotions and being committed to someone, it’s strange. It can be challenging at the beginning of the relationship. However, after falling in love, they will fill in the emptiness that was there in plenty of sex scenes they had before with emotional attachment and passion.
