from the looks of all the different opinions i would have to say that the consensus is that there is no real consensus, sex and emotional attatchment appear to mean different things for different people, as simple as it seems its actually a complex prossess between two people, but hey its like whatever works for you is what works, my own personal view is hard to define, i get attached to different people all the time, some i have a stronger attatchment to than others,ive had multiple partners on several occassions and been prety much multi-partnered (even where my Husband/ Master is conserned) for many years, but of all the people ive been with and yes even loved, He is the one and only one i absolutly cannot detatch myself from emotionally , nor would i want too, but mabey its like the poet in my signiture says,, ,,,,,,,,,
