Relationship Advice....?

Serious problem. In High School and college, I slept with hundreds of women without any problems, no relationships, no expectations, no commitments. I got to a point in college where I thought I needed to be more committed and serious. The problem is now, at 31, I cannot have sex more than 3 times with a woman without getting emotionally attached. I tried holding out on sex for as long as possible when getting to know a woman. I usually can make it 5 or six dates without getting bored, But after I lose interest in anything beyond friendship. But once we have sex, they want to do it regularly, and after about the 3rd time, I get emotionally invested. What's worse is I get jealous of their other suitors, which seems so petty, and I feel so controlling. It is ridiculous. Aside from simply avoiding women all together, I don't know what to do. Honestly, things were so much simpler when I just slept around, than when I try to date. Any Advice? Anyone else experienced a problem like this?

Update:

LOL.. Wow. look at all the accusations of me being a jerk. Ask for advice and get called an ********. Anyway. I have MANY friends that started as potentially more. I never said that I cannot see anything but sex. Most of the women I know that I don't have sex with are friends. But when a woman wants to take it that route, I have a hard time denying myself unless I was just not attracted to her at all.

Update 2:

It's not the emotional attachment I am afraid of. I am afraid of all the paranoid jealousy that comes with. Until she is willing to date me exclusively, I cannot be jealous or mad at her for the other people she dates or is intimate with. that is my problem.

    Stop dating until you find you like a woman for who she is not just for her sex

    It just sounds like you have a fear of commitment. What is wrong with becoming emotionally involved with someone that you have sex with...ummmm? That's what relationships are based on. When you feel that way about a girl, let it go where it will go, and see if she has the same feelings for you. Don't be afraid of that feeling. Everyone gets their heartbroken at times, but you will never have a meaningful relationship without taking some risks. There is nothing petty about being jealous of another guy when you feel something for someone.

    If you're the one for her, there will be no one to be jealous of. But you aren't going to find that out unless you allow yourself to feel for someone.

    I believe that now at the ripe age of 31, your wanting more out of your life. More than just random women. Your now maybe thinking, you want to settle down, have a family.But i think your trying too hard not to get attached. I mean no one wants the heart broken, but if you dont take the chance to maybe get emtionally attached to someone, you may never find love. Love is taking chances. So dont avoid women, and dont sleep around. Just be you and live life and i gaurentee that a women will come along who will surprise you! Stop worring about attachment, Women do it all the time!! lol, Best of luck to yoU!!!

    You sound like a pervert, first of all. I don't know why any woman in her right mind would want to be with you anyway. But, aside from that I think that you should just stop sleeping around and get to know the girls a little bit first to see if you think they would be worth having as a girlfriend. Then make the moves.
