T-the topic of the thread is whether love and sex can be separated. It can be. Now shut up.I get bored of having to call you an idiot. Say something sensible if you must speak at all. I said it twice before. Jesus Christ. Why do I have to repeat everything three times for you morons (Rogue Jedi, Alfheim) to get it?
blah blah idiot...blah blah blah moron...blah blah blah I know it all.....
Thats all I see in your posts. Do you have a dirty diaper?

Yes, sex may be all about shallow desire, without deeper attachment.
You may love someone deeply without having sex with him/her.

You are missing the point. Friends who have a sexual arrangement, i.e. friends with benefits, may be more comfortable defining this arrangement in the context of a relationship. By your reasoning, i.e. that relationships should be defined subjectively, this arrangement would qualify as a relationship, because the parties involved define it as such, even though you acknowledged in your previous post that it is merely a sexual arrangement. Can I call a shovel an ice-cream machine or not?
Whether they can “reconcile love with an agreement that essentially grants sex outside of a relationship” is not in question. What is in question is what those relationships would qualify as.
Another False Analogy; in the case of a man and a woman, two men, or two women, the execution is the same, i.e. sexual exclusivity with a single partner. It is in the case of open-relationships alone that the execution is different.
If a friend and I have romantic feelings for one another but do not pursue them, then by your reasoning, because the way we feel “doesn't differ from a sexually exclusive . . . relationship where the people feel they are in love,” then we are in a relationship, even though this is not the case. Clearly, our relationship is not defined by our feelings for one another, but how we choose to act in accordance with those feelings.
Well I can see why you say that but im just saying that there must be some exceptions. I do think though that must guys who are into swinging and say they love their partner are just using it as an excuse for them to have sex with two women or whatever but im sure there must be some exceptions.
