2) I don't really believe in emotional attachment in these cases, especially on the first wack of dates. I might really like hanging out with a girl, I might enjoy the company and conversation, the whold pounding pelvis action is awesome because both parties should feel better due to the releases of chemicals in the brain. But there's no emotional attachment until you have dated long past the sex date (3 is the standing rule). And lets be honest, that first time feeling out process when your both trying to impress each other is far better then the whole later on, I have an emotional attachment 6 months into the relationship thing.
3) And if fear is an emotion then in theory you should have a tremendous emotion attachment to a hooker, I mean she's a stranger who could be mentally unbalanced or addled on drugs or better yet wants to kill you and take your wallet. Or the fear of getting caught with a hooker by the police or your significant other, Fear is the ultimate emotion.
Sorry the concepts of love and emotional attachment were burned out of me with a flame thrower a long time ago.
Now its just about boning

What conception of love is a lie? You need to define love before being able to intelligently label it a lie. If you define love as the love of Hollywood, then that's sex, and it's not love. If you define it as "all consuming," then that's a crush, that's not love. Books upon books have been written on the subject, and it's hard to say any consensus has been met.
Anyway, my comment wasn't exclusively about love. It was about putting
emotional significance into the act and the partner. You don't need to feel in love with someone to have sex with them, but it is still possible to appreciate them as an individual beyond an objectification and put an emotional value into the act, whether it's a momentary escape from loneliness in feeling close to another, or something else entirely. It's possible for people to do this. Animals (of the non-human variety) can't, and it's something that separates us.
No offence intended, but the easy way out is making yourself a victim of your own nature.
