There is an old saying that men have sex then fall in love, whilst women have to fall in love to have sex.

Good sex doesn't make people to fall in love. It takes a lot more. Just makes them to lust more and lust and love are totally different things. Lust is selfish feeling... you want something - like good sex. Love is altruistic feeling. Though making someone to lust for you might give you extra time to make him/her to fall in love with you. If sex is good but there's nothing else with the person... for example interesting nature, common interests, personal chemistry there isn't love just lust and that doesn't take you that far... Many people can't make clear distinction between love and lust...one reason more to explain high divorce rates... people marry person who they lust after but who they don't love and when lust gets old... there's nothing to keep the relationship together.

People certainly think that they have fallen in love with someone due to sex and as long as that kind of sex can be provided there is no problem. A relationship with such a foundation can be as healthy as any other, and I'm sure it could be said that it is healthier than relationships with other foundations. However, a relationship based solely on sex would be better termed lust. I think that any definition of "love" must include the idea of lasting through changes such as the reduction of the quality of sex. In the end though, I support the idea that this is possible. Sex is one of the most intimate aspects of a relationship and often one feels a connection with their lover during it. If someone has a powerful response to this connection, it is certainly possible to fall in love at that point, building the other elements of a healthy relationship from that point.

Sex is an issue that can change our view to this question. There are people who say that they love their partner, but all the relationship is only for sex. I think there are 2 kinds of people, ones who want a partner for sex and there are others who don't want or want less for that!

While most people will say you need to separate passion from love, there is a lot to be said for mutual satisfaction that comes from great sex..... it can create a bond that is difficult to break. It can create mutual creativity, a desire to PLEASE the other person ahead of yourself, it can be a release of stress that will open pathways to learn more about each other. I believe great sex can be a very big part of falling in love, whether it comes before falling in love or because of falling in love.
