*Sigh* The Dating Scene

Surely. Night night ACIN

Well, you were talking about casual sex on the whole as hollow and pointless.

Well, I am an idiot for being so broad. I think that from a psychological perspective, the benefits of casual sex are hollow and pointless because there are other activities that can provide the same benefit without having the individual to place his/her trust in another individual to provide attention and gratification.

That aside, I have written about its psychological implications as well just above. Its impact on REM sleep, which has a crucial role in placating depression and enhancing your cognitive and memory skills, on Oxytocin secretion and on alleviating stress are all almost exclusively concerning your psyche.

This is so far off from what I am trying to talk about though. Having a good night's sleep is fine and all for day to day sanity, but buying a more comfortable bed doesn't make you more psychologically stable overall.

Hmmmm mmnot really?
If we are not discussing morals, and we have established it has very beneficial psychological and physical consequences while any sort of negative biological repercussions are avoidable, how exactly is casual sexual intercourse “blowing” you away into pointlessness and hollowness? (no pun intended)
What you are perhaps referring to is not sexual intercourse, but your human relationship with your partner, which is something that in practice “blows up” in short and long term relationships in equal measure, with the caveat that while you may physically experience short term relationships with increased frequency, you also detach yourself from any negative fallout more easily, while in long term relationships, many people become genuine emotional cripples after an “explosion”, to keep to your analogy.
Nevertheless, unrelated to sexual intercourse between mature unattached responsible partners.

What I am talking about is that instead of trying to "find yourself" in this world by having brief, fleeting actions of pleasure with numerous people, it is more constructive and healthy imo, to do other activities that have you building your character through self trials that allow to discover yourself through an internal process. There is nothing morally wrong about anything I am arguing against, but I get annoyed at seeing overly hedonistic behavior on tv where dysfunctional people are plentiful (and glorified) and then at the same time have the argument in front of me that clubbing for sex is actually turning out very healthy people.

'You have told me before the psychological benefits of casual sex, but as far as I can remember from what you wrote, my complaint at the time (I don't think I posted this though) was that even if it was true, and that casual sex worked for many people, that still doesn't make it the correct choice (and I am not talking about morals here). '

Nothing wrong with it either, unless you somehow believe that deep down that girl wanting sex is really desperate for her daddy to safe her from you. So archaic to think women have no will of their own

I have already stated I find nothing morally wrong with casual sex. So drop the trolling.

Why? I've read through the thread and I still haven't figured it out.

I wasn't being serious about you being factually wrong. Everything I am saying is merely my opinion.
