#16 | It's Normal For Women To Get Emotionally Attached From Sex

In this episode of the Krystal Khali Podcast, I explore the emotional connections women often form with their regular sexual partners and why this is a natural response rooted in both evolutionary biology and modern psychology. We'll delve into how men and women differ in their ability to have emotionless sexual encounters and discuss the hormonal and psychological factors at play. Additionally, I'll address the implications of frequent, emotionally detached sexual behavior and how it can sometimes signal underlying mental health issues such as PTSD, BPD, or even psychopathy. Join me as we navigate this complex and important topic, backed by scientific research and compassionate understanding.
