Online HookUp Madness

Hook-ups are a frequent occurrence in our cities nationwide. No one is oblivious to the fact that they occur regardless of your marital status or gender. They are often known as booty calls. A hook-up is defined as a casual sexual encounter between two individuals with no commitments. This hedonistic relationship is haply referred to as “friends with benefits” or “Sex with no strings”. The key word strings meaning boyfriend-girlfriend type relationships and emotions. It is pure sex in the most animalistic and basic form. There are millions of people all over the world who engage in this behavior and it is considered quite normal. There are married people, people in relationships, who have always and will continue to hook-up outside of their committed relationship. No one has a specific reasoning for this, but one can postulate as to why.

The first reason people hook-up outside of committed relationships is variety. As the old adage says “Variety is the spice of life” and some people live their life by this theme. Things get old very fast and they must constantly amuse themselves with new toys and play things. This goes against the grain and philosophy of marriage and commitment. Most of the time, these new play things do not involve their partner. They can call up their favorite fuckbuddy, sneak away for an hour or two, and have a secret rendezvous in a hotel somewhere. Unfortunately, some people need this constant stimulation or else they will lose their mind.

The second reason people hook-up outside of committed relationships is online availability. People can meet 24/7. The internet has created a media circus that allows persons to find each other at all times of the day or night, for that matter. Before the insurgence of the internet, bars and clubs were the only ways for people to meet. Nowadays, you can meet someone in a chat room at 10:00am and hook-up within the hour. Numerous dating websites have been developed to satisfy this lascivious need. Most of them are not merely dating sites, but sex sites. Each persons profile is filled with scantily clad individuals with graphic images of genitals, buttocks, and other body parts. There are no barriers in the constant quest for casual sex. This has created a smorgasbord of sexpots waiting to catch a feel and many people to feel them up, in more ways than one.

The third reason people hook-up outside of committed relationships is alcohol and drugs. Alcohol and other drugs lower inhibitions and may cause someone to do what they normally would not do. The frequent excuse people use is “I was drunk” or “I was high”. Guilty parties always use that as an excuse to get away with murder. The person may have a secret desire or sexual fantasy that the other partner is unwilling to submit to or acknowledge. Some people may even consider the thought or act deviant. There is something about a willing participant and drugs, legal or illegal, which makes for a powerful and exciting sexual concoction for those persons engaging in that behavior.

Hook-ups will continue until people cease to exist. Regardless of martial status, the drive to seek out partners outside of relationships to engage in sex is the most basic human instinct and cannot be curbed in anyway. The only restraint one can have is one’s own mind. One must not act on every emotion or urge or else we are no better than the animals that live in the wild. The internet has made it so easy to get away with and there are many willing sex partners who are available 24/7 with the click of a mouse. Basically, when it comes down to it, anybody can have sex, but it takes more effort to make love.
