Casual sex
Casual sex The Science of Casual Sex On top of the novelty factor that makes casual sex feel exciting, there are more scientific reasons why sex is good for you. Sexual activity and orgasms are scientifically proven to release multiple hormones that provide<b> mental </font></b>health benefits. Oxytocin, famously nicknamed the “love hormone,” is released during physical touch and orgasm. It relieves stress and anxiety while also creating feelings of bonding and trust. Additionally, dopamine is released and triggers the “reward center” of the brain. Simply put, dopamine makes us feel good and keeps us wanting more. Casual Sex Isn’t for Everyone All of this said, casual sex isn’t necessarily for everybody. “Everyone has their own individual beliefs and values around sex, which is completely okay,” Dr. Rachel O’Neill states. “If you’re the type of person who really values intimacy and views sex as something that happens after a relationship develops, then perhaps casual sex isn’t right for you. At the same time, it doesn’t mean that you can’t experiment with your sexuality to see if perhaps you can find some element of causal sexual intimacy that works for you.” Your decision whether or not to have casual sex is personal, and you shouldn’t be ashamed or embarrassed of your decision either way. There are issues such as sexual addiction and compulsion, that can be serious, and should be addressed with a<b> mental </font></b>health profession. Under the right circumstances, however, casual sex doesn’t make you a “slut” or a “man .” It makes you somebody who is owning their sexuality, taking their pleasure and desires into their own hands. Be Safe and Have Fun Always use condoms (you already knew that, right?) and protect yourself emotionally by keeping expectations at bay by communicating openly and honestly. Be upfront and learn to ask for what you want in bed and out of bed. And hey, if it turns out casual sex isn’t for you, there’s always masturbation. Your loving Deepvdiver1 |
