Afraid of getting feelings for people

Hi all

I may be to sensitive for this mad lifestyle. Whilst I find it sexually exciting I have gained feelings for ladies while having fun. I know that is not the game but I can't help it. Anyone feel the same or are you hardened sex focussed swingers only . I need the feelings to get hard otherwise mechanical does not work alone

I welcome thoughts

As a couple I'm not sure if we are qualified to comment, I guess if we were playing as singles it could be something that would happen x

Hummmm

I got told when I first joined here if you don't meet lots of guys and you're only looking for one guy then I'm not using this site correctly ....

Like you I need to feel something for the guy to be able to relax and enjoy and have lots of fun .....

So for me feelings are required

I would say the feelings are something different are you saying your falling in love with every one you meet or are they just sexual feeling cos they are just poles apart I love my husband but do find myself quite sexually attractive to the ppl we decide to meet xxxxxxx

Its very difficult to have regular sex with someone and not become attached in some way. Its the way that we as humans are wiredup. If your falling in love then back off for a while. If your emotionally connected then hell that's normal.

having feelings for someone you are having sex with makes it all that much better. I personally cant just open up my legs and wam bam. I like to connect and have a laugh with the person. mental stimulation as well as sexual is a good thing x

As said previously it's normal to have some feelings with the person your playing with BUT and a big but, just remember it is a no strings site as I learnt very quickly as the first time I had a great meet with a woman and two days later you see she had played with someone else. None of us have exclusivity with anyone we meet so remember although you may have a very intimate connection when you play with someone at the end if the day it's just sexual no strings fun and she could have that connection with several people she plays with so enjoy but don't misread the fun you have with them as something more

It's physically impossible to be that intimate with another human being and not feel some emotional attachment.

we are hardwired to become bonded to our partners, it's genetics to create a stable and safe environment for offspring. Its the same in a lot of the animal kingdom as well.

It takes a very special kind of person to just switch off all that and just do it without feeling. Im not one of them. Have i loved every woman i have had sex with? yes to some degree or another.

Depends what kind of feelings. If its feelings between friends then i think its fine. But if its love and intimacy..then you may have to take it slow and be careful.

The heart is a delicate piece of flesh. No matter how much of a man you are, its still going to fuck you up.

I dont do relationships, so im safe lol. But im a caring soul. Care about people too much, even strangers..thats another emotion lol

I think the OP has a big problem, because if he develops feelings for a woman he's played with, how will he cope when he sees later that same woman's just had an even better time fucking another guy?

I think you have to remain detached on a site like this and see every meet for what it is, no strings casual fun and nothing more. If you do find yourself wanting more then maybe a dating site would probably be better for you.

I have feelings with whoever I have sex with but hold my emotions very much in the background. I'm here mostly for the physical feelings i experiene and like watching the result of my actions on other people and can easily consciously shut off any emotions of love or whatever.

I need to like anyone that I'm going to have sex with and anyone that A is going to have sex with. Love isn't something that comes into it though I know from experience that proper love takes years not hours.

if you have had reg meets with someone and are getting feelings for them, but they continue to meet others, which is what it's all about, the green-eyed monster rears it's ugly head.

You can't help where love finds you....some are very good at having sex and connection but not falling for someone...some find someone and have a connection and fall for each other...some fall for someone but the feelings are not requited. It's the nature of the beast when sex and lust are involved. It is however protecting yourself from getting hurt.

I never feel any emotional conection to any guys i met, none at all ! Yes i had to like them and how they looked and behaved but no actual emotional conection at all and wouldnt be bothered if i never saw or spoke to them again.

I had problems with many guys i met who wanted to see me more or want me to only see them as they were jealous of the other guys i met ( i would have many meets each week with many guys, i was a prolific swinger)and many guys who wanted to live with me or marry me ..... no way lol !!!!!

Until i met my now hubby things changed then but before that it was simply nsa sex no emotional conection at all

I don't think you can protect yourself. Sometimes it just happens. And when it does it's going to hurt.

You need to be honest with yourself about what you're looking for and if you really don't want to develop feelings for people make sure you only meet them once. Most people on here claim to want nsa best assume that's true and act accordingly.

Before we started swinging emotion and sex went hand in hand in my then opinion.

So I can see it could be difficult for singles to remain detached.

However when we meet people to play I have no emotion for them or any attachment, all that is required is that we all get along and like each other, have fun but that is where the line is drawn.

If I felt anything in an emotional sense for men we meet, I'd stop swinging because that to me is a dangerous game and would damage our relationship which is based on love.

I think people get confused with lust and love, and like nice couple said being with someone for a few hours is not "love" the same as being with a person for a long time.

It has been 6 months today since I last saw the man who broke my heart! But I am getting there I think! Sometimes you can't help who you fall for! And personally for me there has to be some connection. I think what most of us are afraid of is not the feelings of liking or loving someone, but that they leave you wide open to being hurt!

No offence to you but as you clearly state you are married. I think if you do have feelings for another then it is time to rethink your home life.

If you are looking for something to replace the lack of romance or intimacy you are lacking in your home life fab is really not the place to look for that....in fact you can't look for that anywhere apart from within yourself...you really need to sit down and think what will make you happy and take steps to get you there...seeking what you are missing out on on here apart from sex and you are setting yourself up to get hurt...

Unfortunately it does happen. Your original plan of just NSA sometimes goes straight out the window. The best sex for me is with people I am emotionally attached to, it can become addictive and the one offs start to look less appealing.

However you learn fast. Seeing the latest verification always does it for me. Just reminds me that they have fun with others as well.

Now I make sure I am not just seeing one guy. Will it work? Well I will have to wait and see.

If you meet somebody regular then its always possible you are going to feel some kind of attraction after all there has to be some sort of attraction to meet regular IMO. I guess it is similar if you work closely with an individual of the opposite sex and an emotional attraction can just as easily form. That's why so many affairs happen in work places. I know of people who have got too close on swinging sites and have run off together, always a danger I guess.

Emotions are hard to escape, seeing as we as humans experience and run on them daily.

Feelings within this lifestyle however, especially as a single, aren't something that ever enters the equation for me however.

There's a clear difference between the two.

I must have a heart of stone as I've never felt any kind of emotional attachment to meets. There are three men I've been seeing for six years. I enjoy our meets but when they've gone...out of site really is out of mind.

I don't have any emotional baggage, never have, and hope to remarry at some point: old age alone doesn't appeal. But here for me is fantasy and none of my meets, whilst princes, Prince Charming they're not!

I have "feelings" for the first couple I ever swung with and we are very good friends. I with them over 3 years ago now when I met a lady and we fell in love alas that is no more. However I still see my friends but we don't swing together. I can't really explain why that should be only that it just seems wrong somehow. We buy one another birthday and Christmas presents and I can go stop with them anytime I want to. I guessed we just moved on even though we are the best of mates now.

My suspicion/ theory is that some (I said SOME) people, deep down, leave open the possibility of finding "the one" on a site like this. As such, when they find themselves in a situation where potential feelings could develop, they entertain the idea and "let" it happen.

In contrast, people who don't entertain the possibility of the above will either cease contact with that person as soon as they realise what's happening, or they never develop that type or emotional connection with their meets in the first place.

Whichever camp you fit into is fine, as long as you are honest with yourself.

Thank you so much for all the feedback. I think the common theme is that as a couple you need to remain objective and strong . As a single it's a minefield as we are all human and although our motives originally were for sex and excitement . Chemistry is strong and fair smells and eyes and personalities are a different matter. When you have cum then there should still be communication or even before. Am I soft or normal.

If I find the person or persons attractive physically and the personality chemistry fits I have no problem with my mojo working...

If the OP can only get hard by getting emotionally attached surely he needs to be on a dating site...
