Not really. Perhaps it's helped that for the last 15 years, 100% of my experience has involved keeping sex and love separate. With my wife, I need to feel love without sexual feelings. With FWBs, I need to feel sexual without love feelings.

Also depends on what you mean by love. You care about friends and you enjoy their company, but you don't typically feel a strong need to see them again if it's been only a few days. So, no I don't feel the kind of white hot love like I can't stand to be without a friend, and I wouldn't be jealous if they had sex with someone else.

But I believe I could integrate love and sexual feelings again if I were in a situation that allowed it. And I'm sure it would be a much richer experience.
