The Truth About Hookup Culture π¬
|
Hey Friend, Harley here... I might get in trouble for this one, but I think hookup culture is an utter disgrace. The idea of casually having sex with strangers you don't know is not just awkward, it's deeply damaging. A Path to Emptiness π Hookup culture leaves people feeling empty, alone, isolated and depressed. Why would you ever want to inflict that on yourself? Having meaningless sexual encounters tells your partner "I don't care about you as a human being." It tells yourself "I have so little self-worth." Staining Your Name π¬ Not to mention, decades down the line when that hookup partner's name pops up again, what are they going to associate it with? Being used for a selfish sexual experience and then discarded. Is that really how you want to be remembered and defined? Robbing Your Future π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Moreover, casual sex completely disrespects your future spouse and even future children. You're denying them the gift of your preserved purity and intimacy. Is sharing that permanent part of yourself with random hookups really worth it? Upgrade Your Mindset πΊ Look, I get that biological urges exist. But we're not animals - we have the ability to exercise self-control, discernment and pursue practices that truly fulfill us as human beings. Hookup culture is not that. It's a heart-breaking race to the bottom. Let's raise our standards as the next generation. Real men don't use people for sex. Real women don't seek validation through fleeting physical attention. We're capable of so much more meaning. What are your thoughts? Does hookup culture concern you as much as it does me? I'm really interested to hear your take. Reply to this email with your opinion.
Your friend, Harley |
