This is one of the big questions of the BOOTY CALL ERA we're living in now, can you transition from a purely sexual, no-strings-attached relationship into an actual relationship?  According to a new study out of Concordia University in Montreal, the answer is . . . YES.

Jim Pfaus is a psychology professor at Concordia.  He studied the brain and how it's triggered by both a sexual relationship and actual love.   And, he found that there are several regions of the brain that overlap and control both sex and love.  So he says yes, sex can transform into love.

Just like when you fall in love with someone, you want to have sex with them, it can work the opposite way too, when you have sex with someone, it can lead to you falling in love with them.  It's not necessarily going to happen every time, but, at least biologically, it's a realistic possibility.
