People say you need to be in love to make it meaningful, but when are hookups or drunken hookups acceptable? With friends? With strangers? Does sex even need to be meaningful, or can sex just be sexual fulfillment?

Here are some very different views on sex, none of these are mine:

"If a person had to be in love to have sex there would be a lot less sex taking place on this planet. People have needs, sex is one of them, relieving this need with another person for mutual satisfaction...does not require an emotional attachment."

"I want to be in love, or at least think I am in love, when I lose my virginity. but after that, **** it, Imma be up on every **** I can get until I find the right one to spend a life time with. everyones different, just gotta find your morals."

" I wouldn't have sex with somone unless I love them and im in a relationship with them. 'Hooking up' is trashy. I think it's slutty if you don't have it with someone you love."

I'd like to know other people's views on sex and love. Is love a requirement for sex or just a social/moral standard?
