<human>: I know this is going to come off as bad.  I don't know of any way of asking for help other than just saying what is the problem and asking how I can get past it.

I have always associated sex with an emotional attachment.  I've never had a one night stand or a casual fling.  I have been attached to each person I have been with and to me it just goes hand in hand.  Sure I see a sexy looking female and I have the same thoughts and desires as every other male in the area, however I never would act on it.

My g/f has a totally different past than I do, I really am her first long term committed relationship however she has had multiple ONS and casual flings.

It's come to the point where it is starting to bother me.  Not her numbers or anything like that but the fact that she doesn't see the act of sex as an act of love.  I now feel like I am making love to her and she is neither experiencing any emotion or attempting to give any in return.  

She say's she loves me, which she told me that I'm the first person she's ever said that to outside of her family.  

I think I'm must more confused than anything.  If sex doesn't mean love to her then how is it special in any way when we do it vs. her doing it with any other guy out there?  

Does this mean since it is simply physical for her that one day she will act on that attraction with someone else?  I mean if she doesn't value the act for anything other than pure physical pleasure what is going to stop her from just doing it with someone else.

Yes as you can tell I have very little experience in life.  I've had 3 long term g/f's and this has never ever been an issue before.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to how I can overcome this problem that I am having?

BTW, I've never said a word to her nor do I intend to.  This is my problem and I'm just trying to figure out how to move past it.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: g/f does not think sex is an act of love but pure physical enjoyment.  I am the exact opposite, its starting to weigh on my mind.
