Danyelle Scott, Cosmotology
– “No it doesn’t. I feel like sex is something sacred that you shouldn’t just give away. If you are in love then you should be married before you have sex.”
James Jacob,Marine Biology
-“I would say no, but it can depending on how it works out with the people involved.”
Kathleen Johnson, Psychology
-“It depends on the kind of love. If it’s a romantic love, it should equal sex; I believe that. In order to be connected emotionally, you should also be connected to that person physically.”
James Tulachann,Sociology
-“I think that love does equal sex, because as much as we would like to chalk it up as an emotional thing, it does really come down to the physicality of it. And if you’re not having sex with someone, then you barely love them.”
Welen Wang, Digital Media
-“Love, honestly, in my opinion does not equal sex. It’s not a benefit really, it’s something physical and love is something that
is emotional.”
Tiffanye Cassidy,Criminal Justice
-“In my opinion, no it doesn’t, because, to love a person, you have to love everything about them, physically, mentally, like everything, it’s not just sex. Like, I can have love without sex, it kind of amplifies love.”
Zack Walton, Broadcasting
– “Not always. It can, but that basically depends on the people who are involved.”
Tabitha Brandenburg, Cosmetology
– “No. To me sex is sex, and sex can be fun, but when you love somebody, sex is an added bonus, I guess. That doesn’t mean you have to have it; you can wait.”
