Why are people so nonchalant about sex?

Why is sex such a casual thing now? People act as if there's no emotion that goes with it. Why is it so normal and ok for someone to sleep with multiple people? Isn't supposed to be between you and your SO only?

  • Why does it have to be something so serious? As long as there is mutual respect, consent and you're both safe and enjoying it why does sex have to be akin to a marriage proposal? I see no problem if the only emotion is happiness - casual sex doesn't need to come with a declaration to be, but if others need it before they start getting physical then go nuts

  • I can't seem to understand that myself. Anyway i can't speak for other... for me i could never sleep around. I want it to be special with someone I love. Most of my friends sleep around and it honestly makes me sad, but i guess everyone is free to do what they want. In the end i'm glad that i will be sharing that with my SO oneday

  • that's what i'm sayin! i don't see how people can run around with friends with benefits, and whatnot, f*cking everything on the planet. i was starting to feel like i'm the only person who still believes in not sleeping around, and just giving it to someone i didn't have feelings for. i don't know how they do it.

  • some people do, some people dont, im one who wants a committed relationship before sex. and a lot of the time some folks dont have a choice, because mostly one side of the two genders have more control in relationships and when sex is allowed, and that gender is the female. guys are usually treated like were some kind of joke.

  • Safe sex fun with a number of partners can be like education, you learn what you do or don't like, then it is easier to decide whether a more serious relationship should go further.
    I think that everyone wants love eventually, but in youth should play the field a bit!
    Waiting until you are married can be a disaster!

  • Yes that's what it's supposed to be. Between you and your partner only. I think a lot of people just think differently now.

  • Because many people those days are acting like an horny dogs, that's why.

  • One word: "Feminism".
    Now enjoy the sexual revolution of women and the destruction of the family.

  • If that's your belief then good for you girl! This is a modern age where we can express our sexuality in our own way. Besides normally when you have a SO you do remain faithful. Let the single ladies be free to enjoy themselves. The only opinion we need to listen to about ourselves is our own.

  • Because we can use it purely for plasure if we want to.

  • They should have a motto----'No sex before marriage. Lot of sex after marriage."

    • yeah no, i enjoy sex too much to wait for marriage ;)

    • 😂 good luck

  • Maybe we grow out of that. I feel less nonchalant about sex now that I did five years ago. It's a good question.

  • I don't have sex with multiple people at a time but I gave up looking for a relationship before sex. I'd be waiting until 30 for a relationship or sex. I know there are people who do but I didn't want to. Every person I've had sex with so far I've dated because I wanted something more but it never works out.

    I should probably wait until a relationship is established before sex but how many guys are really going to wait for that?

    • I agree, I usually don't want to wait

    • @QuietRunner it sucks because that's all they want, even when they tell me they don't.

    • Everybody wants sex but if a guy truly likes you he'll wait for it. If you're looking for a regular monogamous vanilla relationship with a man you have to wait. I believe that if a girl gives in to soon that the guys going to think less of her he probably has it in the back of his mind somewhere that she's promiscuous she will cheat etc. But trust me if the guy really thinks you're worth it and he really strong loving feelings for you he will wait. Not only will he wait but he will respect you much much more with respect comes trust etc. etc. blah blah blah building blocks relationships

  • I am a man, i can knock up multiple women a day, you can only get pregnant once in 9 months. It's natural that i see sex a pure physical pleasure and not much else.

  • Trust me girl you have to make them wait. An average guy is not going to respect you very much or they may respect you and not trust you very much if you give into suit. Now coming from a guy I mean you give it out we're going to take it but if we really like someone we will wait for the sex. In a normal monogamous relationship yes the sex needs to be there it needs to be good but it is secondary to the bond the trust the respect for each other.

  • *points to 1960s with "free love"*

  • i dont get that either.

  • why make a taboo out of it? why make it more special than it is?

    sure, it can involve a lot of emotions. or it can just be for pleasure. both is ok

  • Because sex is as natural as eating and sleeping.

  • Why wouldn't it be so casual? It's natural and we normally do it for reproduction but we made it possible to fuck without the Pregnancy : OF COURSE we are going to have loads of sex. It feels so good, why stop ourselves?

  • Sometimes i like loving women for only 1 night. Who are you to judge me? It does not mean that i take them less serious.

  • sex with emotion isn't better. explain why it is so?

  • People have different views on it. Doesn't make it bad, just a different way of living.
