[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6264890, member: 177"] I don't have the study on hand, but it is a bit deeper than that. If Girl A is intellectually okay with it, that doesn't mean her neurochemistry is okay with it. Acts of intimacy (not limited to sex, by the way, but sex generally has the strongest impact) result in release of hormones in the human body, and those have impact on your neurochemistry. For some, the act of repeatedly initiating the bonding process without actually forming bonds leads to a neurochemically depressed state. What you think you want has nothing to do with it - like a diabetic who *wants* that piece of cake, having it is still a bad idea. The study, in fact, focused on men. The basic scenario is this: Gent feels low, decides to go hook up (because sex is fun, and getting some means he's a Real Man, so he'll be happy afterwards). But it doesn't help - he's still depressed. Lather, rinse, repeat, and the person is driven into a pretty depressed state, and doesn't know why. The effect can be seen regardless of what they *think* is right for them, and isn't just a matter of personal belief or social pressures. Basically - it is possible for a person to be wired to be better off in committed relationships, that not everyone can have casual sex and just be okay. [/QUOTE]
