The Impact of Hookup Culture On Women’s Emotional Well-Being

Hookup culture is a popular movement today that empowers sexual liberation. The question is, is it hurting us or helping us?

Without the expectation of a committed relationship, hookup culture promotes sexual liberation and casual hookups as a means to satisfy something deeper. Why are people so supportive of hookup culture? Let’s talk about it.

What is sex meant for?

Sexual Intercourse between two individuals is meant for married people. What most people don’t realize is that sex is very different for women than it is for men. Women are more likely to become emotionally attached to people they have sex with, unlike most men. Well, how are women participating in hookup culture?

Studies show that women who are actively participating in casual sex with no strings attached are more than likely damaged emotionally in some capacity. Almost always, someone ends up wanting something more, resulting in someone getting hurt.

Sex is also meant for reproduction, so it’s important not to have sex with someone you would not raise a child with for the rest of your life. It is a sacred act that expresses love and emotional connection with a lover. Not to be done casually.

Men benefit from hookup culture; women don’t.

Most men (or little boys) love the idea of casual relationships, no real responsibility, no one to hold them accountable, and no one extra they’re obligated to spend their money on. So, as long as they meet a woman with no real expectations except a physical relationship, they win. Men and women view sexual intercourse in two totally different ways. Women see sex as an emotional bonding experience, and men see sex as an activity.

Men have penises; women have vaginas…if you are sexually active, then you know that the penis entering the vagina is how sexual intercourse takes place. With that being said, men are the givers, and women are the receivers. Women are on the receiving end of whatever men give them.

Conversely, women will agree or find themselves in a casual situation, thinking they can do it later to find out they can’t. Women are emotional beings in nature. As emotional beings, we naturally crave love and emotional support, especially from those we deeply care about. Everything we do often always has our emotions tied to it. Having sex with strangers or someone you’re not emotionally invested in can be harmful to your mental health. It can often lead you to feel used and emotionally unsatisfied. Which is not how a woman is supposed to operate.

You must respect your body.

You must realize that you are worth far more than you are giving out. Something most women who partake in casual relationships don’t know is that they’re degrading themselves. Sex is a sacred act between two people who are committed to each other. This means that it is not something that should be done casually.

Causal sex can lead to emotional distress versus sex in a committed relationship and marriage. This tends to lead to feelings of regret and emptiness. When a woman is deprived emotionally, she cannot operate in a way a feminine woman should. Feminine women do not partake in casual sex.

There are a plethora of risky health concerns that can result in having casual sex, such as STIs and unplanned pregnancies. Trying to avoid an unplanned pregnancy can be detrimental to the body as well since taking too many plan Bs can result in infertility. One of the most important responsibilities God gave women on earth was to give life. It is not something that should mistakenly happen.

Be careful about who you choose to lay with, it’s an expensive cost.
