Hooking Up: Casual Sex Releases Attachment Chemical in the Brain

This Segment Learn how the Personality Profile of Women more prone to Hook Up, and How a Chemical is Released in the Brain which creates a strong emotional bond to the Hook Up partner.

Why bother asking someone to dinner or to the movies when you can meet at a party, down a few drinks and go hook up for the night?

In my freshman year of college, I can remember going down the hall to the shared bathroom among the dorm rooms and seeing some of the girls hung-over around the sinks. I caught my roommates eye and asked her what happened last night with that guy she had met at the party? She said, We had fun together with no strings attached if you know what I mean. It was great! Since those days, very little has changed in the female world of sexual freedom, it has only evolved into what we now call hooking up.

Hooking up can include all of the bases, and the ambiguity is intentional. Modest types can imply that less happened than did, and braggarts can hint at hitting a home run. Hookups can be defined by alcohol, physical attraction and a lack of expectations in the morning.

Hook-Up Mentality

One of the legacies from the sexual revolution is the hook-up mentality. The assumption behind that mentality is that sex is just another recreational activity.

There are many reasons why hooking up has become the name of the game and old-fashioned dating virtually does not exist anymore. A big reason involves the changing social roles of women and the evolution of female sexual freedom.

These concepts can be baffling to parents and members of older generations who are used to a courtship culture, not a hookup culture. However, it can also be confusing for those active in hooking up. Hooking up often leaves participants confused about the status of their hook up relationships, leaving them in relationship limbo.

Well apparently I don't produce Oxytocin

[TotalLifeMedia]

@lee85hg Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Sorry to hear you do not have Oxytocin as this is what's needed to have a healthy relationship and connect with someone. If you are having trouble connecting you may want to talk to your doctor. There is a neat CNN article talking about how some college students are not hooking up and now trying to find a partner that wants to pursue a real romantic relationship. Google these words and you will find the article: cnn freshman hook up

not all women who have casual sex have low self esteem, women do it because it's fun, it doesn't mean she's got problems, it just means she's not brainwashed by society into thinking that sex is evil. which most women are.

main reasons why women hook-up:

* she was horny for months and needed it desperatley

* lack of brainwashing

if men were the ones who were brainwashed, they'd be suffering the same descrimination as women.
