not to cause The Discourse but hook up culture is just so awful like that can’t be good for your soul or your image of yourself or your health or your safety it just can’t be

the chemicals released during sex literally serve to chemically and emotionally bond you with your partner, and hook up culture literally conditions your brain to associate the release of oxytocin during sex with the feelings of separation and loss once you part with your one-time partner, so the more casual sex you have the less enjoyable sex becomes because when you do find your spouse/significant other/person-who-put-a-ring-on-it, you won’t be able to chemically and emotionally bond with them through sex the same way you could when you first started having sex. because your brain is associating that chemical release with separation and loss. 

tl;dr hook up culture is incredibly emotionally unhealthy (and that doesn’t even delve into how physically unhealthy it is as well)
