1. It feels like you guys are one. (Even though that sounds so cliche) The whole world doesn’t matter, your stress, anxiety, depression, and everything negative you go through is gone. It’s just you and the person you love. Your senses are so alert. It can be wild but it can also be subtle. It depends what type of couple you guys are in the sack. There’s no place you would rather be. It will feel like forever.
2. It feels like the deepest connection you can get. The insecurities that you once had are magically gone and for a few minutes your mind body and heart are all tuned into exactly one person. It’s refreshing
3. Sex with the one I love feels raw and intimate. I feel exposed but not ashamed. It’s passionate and wholesome. Like pure adoration and appreciation for one another’s bodies. Like the two of us are spiritually connected and like we could stay in that moment forever.
4. Sex with someone you love is a strange yet hard to describe feeling. If I were to be completely straight faced, I would say that it is similar to any action that you are hugely emotional invested in (painting, drawing, whatever you love) then ramp up the chemical high to awesome.
Or I could say it is completing a race that you passionately trained for months, watching fireworks for the first time, and listening to a song that touches your soul all at the same time. No comparison. Plus the cuddling afterwards is filled with less regret.
5. Such an overwhelming feeling. It’s like nothing else exist. Feelings and emotions are magnified. And after you’re done you get a warm stronger connection with them, and you feel happy.
6. I don’t and haven’t had casual sex. But sex with someone I love feels really good, like that intimacy and emotional closeness puts it on a whole other level, especially when you’re in sync with them. Also feels real good for snuggles and cuddles post-sex with someone you love.
7. Ooooh, having sex with a girl you love just hits different. With love it’s so intimate and your whole body can feel a connection. Plus the trust that’s between the two of you makes you feel comfortable and cared for.
With somebody you don’t have feelings for it feels really good for your genitalia more than anything, and that’s totally fine and lots of fun, but great sex while in love is just another level. I feel warmth in my entire body and just have more desires to kiss and be physically close to the person. The post nut with love makes me want to cuddle while often times after sex with people I don’t care about, I don’t feel like cuddling them or sometimes even touching them after and I kinda just want to leave after I nut because I don’t care about them.
8. Sex can feel like a business transaction sometimes. With a person you love, it feels so intimate, there’s no mistaking it for anything else – that’s how you know you’re making love. It’s magical. You can get lost in the moment, and it isn’t really even the orgasm that matters then.
9. It’s honestly the best feeling ever. You feel like nothing else in the world matters. The connection and pleasure is so deep it’s make you love the person so much
10. Like bonding on the deepest level. You feel incredibly alive and all tingly physically and emotionally open and connected to them.
11. After the deed, there’s this blissful feeling that settles down around you. The endorphins are flowing and you’re lying in bed next to someone who is more attractive than anyone else in the world. You adore every single detail and gaze into each others’ eyes. Every touch feels 100x better and you can’t get enough of each other. It’s one of the most profoundly beautiful emotional experiences in the world. Pure satisfaction.
With the hookup, it’s just awkwardly trying to get some sleep and wondering what the situation will be tomorrow morning.
