I dislike so much hookup culture

I don't personally enjoy it, but I am glad that it exists. No matter what social standards you apply, a shit ton of people just naturally aren't suited to the whole monogamy, one partner till you die lifestyle. All the taboos we created around polyamory and casual sex and divorce didn't make these people good, monogamous christians; it just made all those people miserable and repressed until they cheated on their spouses or withdrew entirely.

Sounds like the new season of American Horror Story. There’s a lot of sex, leather, torture, and killing in this one. I’ll watch it till the end because my man Zachary Quinto is in it. It’s in more of a serious note with gay males being murdered, and police discrimination set in the 80s. Hopefully there’s more of a supernatural AHS twist somewhere. I think Big Daddy might be a murderous ghost tho 😂

I don't see anything wrong with casual encounters. They can be romantic and satisfying. My issue is just men. The bulk of them are misogynist and cant fuck. Not worth risking pregnancy, infection, or physical harm.

I agree and as if sex isn’t risky.

As you already know, ditto.
Too much depth in us to not be otherwise, plus having that special connection makes it all so delicious.

dating these days is about like fishing; all you catch are the ones you throw back, and the good ones elude you and/or get away...🤔

Hookups can still happen with respect when it’s a mutual agreement. Maybe you’re talking about hit and run to the next. I agree, if you aren’t prepared it can feel disrespectful, degrading even, especially if one party was catching feelings.

Totally with you there.
And it sure isn't making anyone any happier or allowing for anything sustainable or meaningful, except their own lust and gratification. Seems empty and shallow to me.

I truly agree with u...that's why i am still waiting for special one to take me 😌

I'm turned off by it too

I need to dip out of the conversation - bedtime in Australia - but I want to say how insightful and revealing the repartee has been, on an obviously sensitive and gendered topic. My thanks. Andy

I don't mind it as long as it has nothing to do with me. No, thanks, I don't want their stds.

Yes, though how about being a male and shot down highly disrespectfully nine times out of ten, due to the statistics and leverage of biological difference. I used to have the idealised white-picket-fence relationship thing in my early 20s, now I'm a sexual mercenary, to the extent I engage with it at all.

Said perfectly to my D-in-L. And in one ear and out the other. 🙄🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I agree with this. It feels like the most important thing is not staying with someone but having as many sexual partners as you can.

Or sharing your partner. I just saw a guy post a nude of his wife, sure enough it was a porn actress but they feel like they need attention like that. It’s so weird.

😌 sex should not be separate from love

Yah I'm not one for that type of game. I need a connection.

It's life. This is what people do.
