Is the hookup culture really worth it?

Some details: The fact that I’m still a virgin at 27 has given me low self esteem. Kind of embarrassed to admit this. I guess we all need to start somewhere. Raised Christian, sex is rarely if ever mentioned and only in a very conservative light. I know that hookup culture is usually presented as empowering, and fun. But I wanted to ask you personally if you think this is true. I read articles and hear from the media how glamorous it is, but what’s your experience with a one night stand? If you’ve ever had one. Do you think sleeping with multiple people is positive, like trying different ice cream flavors? Or is it just an addiction or something out of peer pressure? Because honestly, the feeling of sex would be great. It’s what our bodies are designed for. But I don’t think I could get used to the idea of sleeping with someone with no emotional baggage. I would get so attached. I would eventually like to look for a healthy relationship too. But to each their own 👍🏼

  • Okay first of all very first thing you have to do and make sure you do is find a guy that's going to make it about you if you don't find the guy that's going to make it about you he's going to get on you fuck you shoot his load in 2 minutes he's going to leave so that's the first day you have to find somebody that cares and wants to make it all about you
    The next thing is you don't have to have sex you can get in the bed with a guy and he can catch you so many different ways and make you come so many different ways we will drive you silly if he does it right he can get you an orgasm with the tip of his tongue with his touch with his kiss with all different types of foreplay you don't need penetration dad a good time.. you need to find a guy that's going to make it all about you everything all about you I think it would nightstand wouldn't be very good for you at the moment I mean it would be if you got the right guy but I don't think that you would get the right guy the first time that you never can tell whatever you decide to do do it in slow motion do with that human desire and make sure he's making it all about you

  • Its mostly bullshit.

    You should try and find someone though, whatever you have been doing so far isn't working for you.

    I have had good and bad experiences but obviously just hooking up is shallow and its no substitute for a relationship.

  • It depends if you're ok with a relationship that's only sex-oriented. If you're looking for more than sex then hook-ups may not be for you. Usually romantic relationships and sex-oriented relationships are talked about. But there's also two others: Partnership and companionship. These two can have just as much importance as a romantic relationship, in fact some people even marry for them. However for me I find the line between partnership and companionship blurry, but I'm sure for some it isn't. But it is important to know what you want, need, and what you value. By knowing this you can determine what relationships you'd like to have. If you say you value love, intimacy, etc. then I'd suggest romantic relationship, partnership, or companionship instead. But remember: Either one of these takes time, patience, trust, loyalty, faithfulness, and all of that other important stuff.

  • Personally I had my fair share of hooking up and it is NOT worth it. All those guys mean nothing to me anymore. None of them. I also would get into a lot of trouble when I was doing that and a lot of men found me undateable because of it. My hooking up got me into a lot of trouble when trying to date people.

  • It's repugnant and the primary reason for the spread of sexuality transmitted diseases... like AIDS which killed my aunt and uncle

  • It's not worth it for most women, sex with someone you love and someone who loves you or at least has feelings for you is so much better. As a woman it also makes you feel so good.

  • Come to pm 😘

  • Depends. I can't really do hookups anymore it's spirituality corrosive. Fwbs and casual dating though is alright.

  • I think it's not worth it I mean sex is worth it but hook up cuture is not

  • Sure not...

  • It's better to have a long term relationship.

  • Don't feel bad because you have chosen to wait for the right person. Be proud of that

  • It depends on what you want.
    If you are a religious person, or if you are someone who wants a serious relationship like marriage, it's not something worth trying as it's probably not your cup of tea and will leave you feel unsatisfied.

    But if you don't really care about those things, just enjoy as long as you make sure that you don't get STDs.

  • It's fun and worth it

  • It's completely ok if you guys are clear between you

  • I think hookup culture leaves everyone alone and miserable.
