Like a magicians slight of hand there well be oohs and aaws but when the performance is all said and done was it not nothing more then just an illusion passing time. A distraction of misdirection so that the void we seek fill becomes but a distantmemory. No Athena , in my jumble opinion it never has nor never well be a complete answer to the equation of the void. Great anything can be earned, learned and accomplished if one truely wishes it.
Post script.....
On behalf of the male species (not that its my place lol) in regards to a narrow minded reply I apologize and conclude it just proves my point.

We meet by chance… fall in-like at first glance… can’t wait for romance… we unbuckle our pants... during foreplay we arouse our senses and curiosity… our passion controls us with its intensity… together in-lust our bodies are on fire… our minds are on the brink… and… we don’t stop to think… we react to our impulses… tearing at our clothes… we’re naked and exposed… craving and maintaining caresses… entangled and breathless… we can’t get enough of this… we two are now one… in-love and having fun…

A lot of us test the waters(sex) before we jump in the pool(relationship) feet first. So… can awesome sex be what brings two people together at the beginning of an emotional connection?

Is it possible to have nothing else in common except great sex, and yet still be able to make the relationship work to our equal advantage, if while staying together for the sex we learn to grow in other areas too?

If we go our separate ways, then meet up again, and the old sparks reignite, is it acceptable to have one more tryst?

no I think not. I have found it harder to move on and forget men that captured my heart. Often we did not ever have sex.

I suppose nothing is impossible, but have not known of a case where it worked out and have never personally attempted it.

i have had this experience happen to me three times in my life. twice before my failed marriage and once after. the one after was
awesome sexually and was an on/off relationship for almost four years. the other two were much briefer but none the less awesome sexually.

in all three cases there was not enough in common to sustain a long
term meaningful relationship outside of sex.

so in closing ..... lol .... NO !!

but the jury is still out on, " if we run into each other " tryst in the future . awesome sex is sooo damn powerful !!!

No, I demand more than sex, I don't want the woman selling herself short. So I must be hard to please.

It depends on what your looking for. Of course its possible for 2 consenting adults to have a great sexual relationship, However for myself its when it moves past sex to making love to someone that completes the circle of romance. For myself when I look at her not in just a physical way but also mental and want to make her happy is when I really know its true!

aaahhh, hippie, I love the dominant side of your nature that's making his way to the surface...

Life is more than sex, awesome or otherwise.

I met a guy that only wanted to have sex and yes it was great but after a short while I got bored. I need more than sexual stimulation to make a relationship work so I dumped him.

Sex is a natural outcome of romantic love: love is not a guaranteed out come of sex.

IMO sex, to early, is a good way to kill a possible relationship because the relationship has been built on hormones.

I like the question header. it's simplicity. Awesome sex can briefly captivate me but not control me

not even close

I've had that experience myself, sweet, isn't that strange though? Maybe they are harder to forget because of the mystery they leave with us by never having consummated our feelings...
