Is love sex or is love more than just sex?

When considering if sleeping with another is cheating, what is more important being there for someone, loving them and supporting or shagging them?

Why can't there be both?

@newgirl There is and there can be, I am wondering why someone having something like a one night stand seems so offensive to others when may say love is more than just sex.

@garmicsmi Some people aren't suited for casual sex and they don't understand it. It's not for everyone.

Love is certainly more than sex; but sex is part of love. Cheating, that's a whole other issue. Cheating is cheating... period. When cheating you harm at a minimum, three people. Your SO, your shagging/FWB partner, and yourself.

Depends what u want out of life. If you like being single then a shag is great I suppose. But connection where love and support is involved is more for me. It's finding it that's the problem and keeping it. And even if u are in love lust every now n then keeps the fire burning. Making love is beautiful but sometimes just a animalistic f.ck is awesome.

Love is more than just sex but you can have sex without being "in love."
That being said, I don't enjoy casual sex all that much even when I used to have it. You have an orgasm but without connection it fades off and is rather useless. (My view of course)

sex doesnt equal love. you can have sex without love. you dont have sex with everything you love and care about. sex in itself is a separate thing.
