When I left his house he seemed sad and was hugging and kissing me and told me to text him when I got home. And when he was kissing me he asked if that seemed too boyfriend-like. And saying he's gonna come over ths weekend and spend the nght with me. And other stuff like that.

If I told him I just want sex with him, why does he start acting like that? It makes things confusing.
1) You are massively underachieving and can do a lot better
or
2) You are making this up and you are really a guy

I agree 100%, in the context of the O.P.'s question.

I have had the same situation with men in the past, they were psyched initially when I would tell them that I wanted to just have fun, but while some of them could handle that and were okay with it, others grew attached and got upset when I did not want to take things to the next level...those were the guys I broke things off with, as I did not want to hurt them any further. In other situations, real emotions developed on both sides and wonderful relationships ensued...you just never know what will happen in the future, but I do believe honesty is the best way to go. Leading someone on when you know they have feelings and you do not is never a good idea...if it happened to you, it would make you feel crappy...no reason to do that to someone else!

Males are naturally territorial.
Once "Mr Happy" has moved in he doesn't want any competition.
That doesn't mean this man is emotionally involved, it just means he doesn't want anyone else in his territory.
Look at the behavior of male animals when the female is in heat. They not only fight, but spend an extraordinary amount of time "marking their territory" with their scent. by following each other around from tree to tree.
If you really don't want to deal with the human aspect of sex, get a vibrator. It's cheap, convenient and available when you are. (batteries not included) LOL

I didnt read all the responses here but IMO "sex-only-no feelings" relationships are wrong. What happens if the condom breaks & you get AIDS from someone whom you never cared about in the first place? Its not like you are even in it for $$.

Condoms break, I'd never sex random men like that...

That is an extremely naive (and sexist) statement. There are millions of men that are seeking exclusive committed relationships. Somehow the media has convinced us that men don't want that, they just want sex. Poppycock.

Men want loving relationships the same way that women do. While I may hate strip clubs, I still dig porn. I think that it's the same as "mother's little helper" in the nightstand drawer. Emotional connections are one of the things that social animals crave, humans being no exception. While a man may subscribe to that philosophy when he's younger and not seeking any attachments, a man that IS in touch with his feelings is going to seek something more. It's the reason that FWB works for a while, but not long term unless both of the involved parties feel that way. That's the exception rather than the rule.

bek he believes intimacy should be part of sex and he is trying to impose that illusion on you.
