First, full disclosure: I am one of the older members and in my day we were well aware that our present relationship probably would not be permanent as we moved frequently and had to part from dearly loved partners.
But, I also admit that I have never been able to separate sex from love; and, I never had sex with any person I was not already deeply bonded with in both friendship and love. The sex confirmed the bond and was fantastic..
I have had few partners, have been a happy and faithful married man for many years, but all my former partners remain dearly loved friends; I loved them then and I love them still. The partings from all of them were painful but over the years I have come to realize that what love made possible, including the sex, may end, but the love does not.
