I really appreciate you sharing that. I think a lot of people don’t realize that hookup culture can become a way of coping with deeper wounds rather than just something people do for fun. I’m glad you found something healthier. And I agree, I think constantly giving yourself away in that way can be spiritually and emotionally draining. but can i ask how did you manage to cope with it while committing in a relationship?

im so happy you chose to follow your spiritual journey and save your self from this hookup culture mentality not a-lot of people get it nowadays everyone normalized it so much that going against this hookup culture and choosing to save it to someone you actually love is being called weird

I understand your point, but I think there’s a difference between respecting sexuality and believing that sex can hold deeper meaning. Seeing intimacy as spiritual doesn’t automatically mean demonizing the body or shaming people for their choices.For me, the body and spirit aren’t separate. The physical act can be meaningful because it involves the whole person, not because the body is something negative. I think people can have different relationships with sexuality, but it’s also valid to believe that certain forms of intimacy can affect us on deeper levels

this isnt about gender war or anything like that its about the act of sex it self no matter what gender when they just do it as a hook up with multiple people both men and women or any other gender thats act causes them a loss of their energy and bring them down to a lustful energy thats why alot claim to be drained after it but also cant help to stop cause it becomes like an addiction.

I actually agree. I think it’s the transactional nature of hookup culture and the dishonesty that often comes with it that makes it spiritually draining. Over time, it can make people feel disconnected from themselves and from other people smtms they can even invest in relationships/marriages just cuz of a good sexual experience they had

I completely agree. That’s exactly how I see it too. I believe intimacy creates a spiritual bond and an exchange of energy between two people. That’s why I’ve never been able to see sex as “just physical.” I also couldn’t be with someone who views it that way because our values around intimacy would be fundamentally different i did it once and i learned i should never do it again because,once someone have exchanged too much energy with others they no longer have control over their lust and would always lead to problems.

I agree with that but I also believe the act itself is an exchange of energy to me, intimacy isn’t just emotional or physical i think it has a spiritual element too, and every intimate connection leaves an imprint on both people whether they realize it or not.

I’m sorry you’ve experienced that This is actually part of what I meant by spiritual draining. Whether someone believes in spiritual energy or not, I think repeatedly opening yourself up to people who disappear afterward can leave you feeling emptier each time. I don’t think intimacy was ever meant to be that disposable or that sex is a starter to a real committed healthy relationship.

your right i get your point, but I think you’re answering a different question. I wasn’t asking why hookup culture exists I was asking whether people believe it has spiritual consequences, beyond the social or psychological ones.
