Sometimes, honestly looking back at a hookup, all I actually wanted was a cuddle. There is always this expectation of like, okay, intimacy equals sex now. We actually want platonic intimacy or we want some other form of intimacy. And it's also worth acknowledging if you're listening to this being like, no part of casual sex sounds good to me.
This week we dive into the psychology behind hookup culture and casual dating in our 20’s. We are joined by the host of The Openhouse Podcast, Louise Rumball, as we discuss the cultural and societal changes that have contributed to this sexual liberation, what happens to our brain during and after a hookup, empowering ourselves through pleasure but also healthy boundaries and the science and personal stories behind why casual dating may not be for everyone.
