Where did this Asperger's assumption that sex and love are only EVER separate come from?
TV often depicts sex without love (and there are over 9000 fairy tales where the inverse is depicted, in order to save the *precious* innocence of little children
) which leads to the assumption that they
have to be separate entities... although they need not mutually exclusive in a relationship, and one can certainly lead to the other, but to say that they are anything but two separate entities is just plain BS...
I think there might be some truth to that depending on the person.
Take Grey's Anatomy for instance, everytime someone "loves" a person they just met in one day, they're suddenly in bed together and still have feelings for eachother after that. I not only find this very unrealistic but kind of upsetting if a teenager was to watch how people behave when they're in love.
I was raised with two parents who seem to be best friends now. So maybe this might be the reason why I don't think they're seperate.
Again it depends and yes even women will only get with a guy for sex. I'm not sure how love and sex intertwine since I've never really experienced love but I hear couples all the time about how much they love eachother and how well their sex lives are going...including old people.....
