Casual Sex For Singles:

Having Casual Sex:

Hello!

Welcome to another exciting article on A Moment With Jennie. This one is going to be another brief article but hopeful very enlightening too. We will be discussing the increase in casual sex or ‘hook up’ sex as it is commonly called these days out in the world today, the reasons behind these acts and some of the dangers involved in it. Enjoy!

Casual Sex:
People may define casual sex as sexual interactions that take place outside a committed relationship. Often, these encounters occur between individuals without any expectation of a future romantic relationship. Casual sex may cover a variety of sexual and intimate behaviors, up to and including sexual intercourse….. Says Google.

The write up above sums up what casual sex is. But what I really want to talk about in this article is the rate at which people are choosing casual sex over romantic relationships. The constant increase in the amount of people having casual sex these days is alarming. What’s worse is that, once a conversation starts between two adults, one party already expects the other to initiate a conversation about sex. It’s become a norm for young adults these days. Literally, almost every body is engaged in casual sex. It’s really a sad thing to see. There’s way too much love in the world for people to choose to live their lives this way. And while I can empathize with many as to why they chose to live this way, I still have to condemn the act itself and talk about how wrong it is.

Why do People choose to engage in the act of casual sex:

  1. Heart Break: A lot of individuals have experienced very terrible breakups from previous relationships. Or have witnessed people close to them have terrible partners that eventually lead to a bad break up. And as a result, they try to stay away from romantic relationships. Because they feel every relationship comes with a heart break. Well, it’s true that there is no guarantee of a happy ending in every relationship but it is also wrong to give it a try and in the case of some people, keep trying until you get it right. Most people who engage in the act of casual sex just want to avoid the eventual or looming heart break that comes with being in a romantic relationship.
  2. Zero Expectations: This is where the ‘no strings attached’ term comes in. For people who feel they are not ready for serious relationships or who feel they don’t want the hassle of having a romantic partner, casual sex is the answer to their sexual needs. Because with casual sex, there are zero expectations. Both parties involved already know what they are getting into and they also know not give more than is necessary and not to expect anything in return. So for them, it’s a win-win.
  3. No stress: We all know being in a romantic relationship comes with a lot of work, really hard work. Not too many people are ready to put in that work. Not too many people are confident enough in the people they meet to bother going all in and putting in the work in order to make the relationship a success. So they opt for the option of casual sex with someone or People who have same goal as them which is mostly not to get attached or expect a proposal. You don’t have nobody calling and asking where you are or who you are with or what you are doing. You just do you with strangers you probably won’t have to see again.
  4. A lot of people have just gotten tired of starting and ending relationships. The whole process of meeting someone new, get into the talking stage, get to know the person. Repeat same thing about yourself you have said to over a dozen people, repeating the whole process is just too much for them and they try to just stay away from all that or take a break from all that and just find a way to take care of their urgent sexual needs.
  5. A lot of people have casual sex after just getting out of a relationship in an attempt to get over their ex. They pour out all the anger and hate and pain into multiple sexual partners, trying hard to forget the memoties of their ex or the lost/broken relationship. This is a sad truth for a lot people. But guess what? 99.9% of the time, it never works. They may forget for a few minutes but then they are back with the memories that haunt them at night or during the day.
  6. Some other reasons people angage in casual sex is to work on their sexual skills, they believe having multiple sexual partners helps them hone in their sexual skills. Makes them become sex gods/goddesses. While some people use casual sex as an excuse to increase their self confidence or sexual confidence. Some use casual sex to reduce stress. Hmmm. Too many ‘reasons’ which to me are just excuses but, what do I know?

People that would rather be with multiple partners than one, casual sex is for you. Just invest all your time and energy in it and leave people who want something meaningful and amazing in relationships alone. If you know that staying faithful to one woman is impossible for you, just carry on with having multiple sexual partners and go home to an empty at night. If that’s going to make you happy, please carry on.

What are some of the risks involved in engaging in casual sex:

  1. STDs/STI: This has to be the biggest risk involved in having multiple sexual partners. Because you can’t always be 100% certain this person you are about to be intimate is healthy and clean. You can only be sure of yourself. And really though, you can’t be careful enough. So if you choose to be promiscuous and have multiple sexual partners, be prepared to treat yourself regularly for sexually transmitted diseases.
  2. For women, there is the risk of falling pregnant without knowing who the father is. No matter how careful you try to be as a woman, pregnancy is one thing you can’t ever prepare for because the body of a woman is constantly changing. Your ovulating period changes with your period and your hormones is whole different topic altogether. So while enjoying the freedom and fun in having casual sex with more than 1 person, be prepared to fall pregnant at least once and what happens if you can’t tell who the father is because there were too many men to even count!
  3. Whether you like it or not, there is always the risk of falling for one of your sexual partners. He/she may turn out to be more than what you expected. They become to you what an actual partner could be but may end up not feeling for you what you feel for them. Another heart break, in the worse way possible.
  4. Who’s to say you will enjoy sex with every person you meet? There is always the risk of not enjoying sex with this stranger. And then you end up asking yourself ‘why did I even bother?’. Go get a partner and work on your emotions, when you love Some or care about them and they love and care about you in return, sex with them will always be phenomenal.
  5. How about the danger of going home with a stranger who may end up hurting you or even killing you? What fun is there for you in that?

In summary, let’s avoid anything that will cause us harm in any way. Having casual sex may sound or seem fun but the risks involved are way too high with very little benefits. Life is way too short to spend without loving and being loved in return. Just hope and believe that you will find yourself a man or woman that will love you and care for you and appreciate you just as you will love them and care for them appreciate them. Being with one partner is pure bliss. Marriage may not be for every body but that still does not stop you from loving someone and being loved in return. Having casual sex is way to risky for anybody to even consider making it a lifestyle. Let’s be safe and let’s be and do better for ourselves.

I really hope that when you read this article, it will bring you one step closer to believing in love and wanting to experience it for yourself with the right person. I hope this article erases every plans you may have of wanting to engage in casual sex. And if you are already living the lifestyle, I hope this article helps you rethink your current choices and make better ones for yourself instead.

Thank you for spending A Moment With Jennie. Let’s spend more intimate time together in the next article. Thanks for reading!
