Share an intimate experience with someone you don't lust after, someone neutral. Then, share an intimate experience with someone you do lust after. Does the former experience decrease the pleasure of the latter, because it's no longer as "special"?
Counterintuitively, I think the answer is "no", extrapolating from my experience with partner dancing. I even think it's a "strong no", where the former experience actually enhances the pleasure of the latter. This could be investigated with fMRI and other biological measurements. If it is "yes" for some people and "no" for others, what causes the difference?
Are people making the correct decision? Powerful social forces possibly prevent them.
