We're meant to complement each other's lives toward a greater whole. Hookup culture reduces everyone to a scratching post. And you wonder where toxic attitudes come from? You don't love, honor, and cherish a piece of tree bark or a sharp wall corner. You just be thankful it was there to get the itch out.
However, self-discipline of the mind and soul is essential to avoiding being quite so itchy in the first place.
Never let the itch rule over you. Libido is a cruel master.

@CodyMckiver You're free to follow whatever religious beliefs you want. But the moment you expect anyone else to follow your religious beliefs as well, is the moment you can fuck right off.

That's why the divorce rate is high. I hope you realize that. And why so many don't want to get married. Dating is not about experiences, and neither is it all just fun. That's why so many of them can't settle down. So please don't assume is religious beliefs, because all that affects you, and it makes it difficult for you to find a good partner to actually be with for the rest of your life. So no he is absolutely correct because it's not about religion. This is about life. So you're right we are free to follow whatever it is that we want, but nobody has the right to complain when somebody is cheating, somebody used, and somebody abuse.

@btbc92 I didn't assume anything. He was speaking of "sins", which are are purely religious concept.

Sin is not religious concept. That's where a lot of you people are brainwashed. Sin is real thing, God is real, and the struggles that people go to all real. You see those numbers, you see the statistics. So no he is absolutely right. He may not have word it properly, but he's right, it's cool to send for a reason. Since our transgressions not only against God but against yourself and other people. And those protecting are the consequences of sin. Because if it was okay to do nobody would be so miserable.

A lot of you people have not been taught right. Because a hundred years ago people knew better, and they did not have to be religious to know this. And my 96 year-old grandmother she was with me right now can tell you the exact same thing. They did not have this mess and she has a lot of sin she had to answer for. That's why a lot of my aunts and uncles and my father are better with her right now because of her sexual choices. Your sexual choices affects everybody. Now I'm in a sex paying for it and I never once been involved with anybody. Why? Because of Statistics just like that. I'm a human being not a human sex toy. Maybe you don't mind being a human sex toy, but not me. I don't think anybody really needs God to know that much. Sin brings death. If my late mother would have kept her virginity, she wouldn't have ended up with HPV and she wouldn't be with cancer, and she would be alive today. She would have never died four years ago.

@btbc92 "Sin is real thing, God is real" And I'm the brainwashed one? Oh the irony. Sins and God are by definition religious concepts. You believing them to be "real" is - shocker! - your RELIGIOUS belief. And guess what - next shocker! - NOT EVERYONE BELIEVES IN THE SAME THINS AS YOU. What the fuck is wrong with you religious nutjobs thinking everyone has to belive the same shit as you do? Fuck off.

They see it as being sexually liberated. I perceive it to be overindulgence in one's basic animalistic nature, and form of sexual narcissism. If you choose to follow the path of Hedonism, do so with regret or guilt.

Honestly, I’m a really health conscious person, I worry about herpes, crabs, chlamydia, and the worst, HIV, etc... and the thought of doing it with someone I know nothing about, worries me for my health! But nobody that’s just hooking up is gonna wanna hear me asking if they got tested for HIV yet; or if they’ve got herpes or sum! So my opinion; it’s unsafe, and not just for STI/STD reasons! What if a girl gets impregnated, and she hooked up with different guys! Y’know? It’s sorta risky!

Hookup culture happens due to lack of maturity and rejection sensitive dysphoria. People just aren't used to being hurt and it causes them to stay in their shell. Source: am 22 and goes to uni

Probably bad because it demoralizes people and deteriorates male-female relations, not to mention inflames the spread of STD's. But none of this effects me so I personally don't care.

Gross... and a lie. Hooking up with several random people isn't liberating and sex positive and "name your bs". It is empty and unfufilling and will never lead to contentment. You will feel used.

I think it can either be positive or extremely toxic. Just like relationships. Not everyone can do hookups since they aren't emotionally wired for it, and there's nothing wrong with that. But some of us are. As long as the individuals involved are being safe and not homewrecking it's perfectly fine and normal in my opinion. casual sex is something I prefer at this point in my life, and that may change. Or not, who knows. If you don't like it don't take part. Simple.
