About
Sometimes, you just want to jump into bed with someoneno strings attached. Lord knows there are plenty of likeminded people out there who are looking to skip dinner and head straight to poundtown. This is where hookup apps can really come in handy. Hookup apps or sex apps are different from dating apps like Hinge or Bumblein that they specifically cater to folks looking for casual sex—not long-term relationships and love.

Q: So excited for this new blog spot! I want to own my sexuality, but all of the advice around me seems to be no-sex-outside-of-relationships-or-marriage. I know this depends on the individual, but any insight would be great!
He has always wanted a much closer relationship than I do. To give some context, a recent study found thaton average, for year-olds, casual sex and committed relationships led to the same level of psychological health. Not everyone wants or is comfortable with sex in the same kinds of relationships or scenarios including committed relationships.
Context and interpersonal dynamics factor in, too. There are some guidelines, however, that everyone can apply.
When a sexual situation is likely to be sound, we usually feel good heading into it, as does anyone else involved. While your romantic relationship may be over, you two are in a relationship: you have a history and a friendship, and it sounds like you have strong feelings for and about one another that are not only or primarily sexual. My best advice is that you hold out for an opportunity to explore casual sex if and when you feel a lot better about it.

There comes in a time in any relationship, regardless of how happy you both are , that the sex component can take a dip —whether it's hormonal, stress-related, or you've just been with the same partner for so long that no amount of pillow talk or date nights will make you want to get intimate.
