+When you send to a bitcoin address, you don't connect to the recipient.  You send the transaction to the network the same way you relay transactions.  There's no distinction between a transaction you originated and one you received from another node that you're relaying in a broadcast.  With a very small network though, someone might still figure it out by process of elimination.  It'll be better when the network is larger.
+
+If you send by IP, the recipient sees you because you connect to their IP.  You could use TOR to mask that.
+
+You could use TOR if you don't want anyone to know you're even using Bitcoin.
+
+Bitcoin is still very new and has not been independently analysed.  If you're serious about privacy, TOR is an advisable precaution.
