It’s not fulfilling at all but I’m afraid of relationships because breakups literally break me so it’s the best I got

It's completely fine to have no interest in casual sex but it's weird to shame people for it. If that's what they want to do, it doesn't affect you in any way.

By your logic everything we do has vast interpersonal and societal effects… 🤔

I think that’s actually largely true, unless you’re proposing everyone’s decisions take place in a vacuum devoid of the actions and decisions of others

like look up and down this thread, people are describing their casual sex experiences the same way people describe self harm

If everything causes vast impacts, it’s proportionally the same as if nothing did, so you can’t single out casual sex ‘because of its vast impacts’. You’re hiding behind a fallacy to judge other people for their private decisions

Just because everything has an impact doesn’t mean that all things have equal impact or the same positive or negative effects. Ironically you are the one falling victim to black and white thinking, a well known logical fallacy. Non-monogamy and widespread promiscuity has negative effects on communal health, long term mental stability, and social cohesion. Let alone the rise of single parent households, the decline in marriage, and startling rates of divorce. I could go on.

Can you tell me about any research you’ve read linking promiscuity to all of those things? Or are we just saying things are causally related because we want to?

Google Nicholas Wolfinger’s analysis of GSS data (Institute for Family Studies). He found women with 10+ premarital partners have a 33% divorce rate, while those with 0-1 are under 6%. Read the Journal of Sex Research on 'hookup culture.' Studies consistently link higher numbers of casual partners to skyrocketing rates of depression, anxiety, and low self-worth.

Sorry if I disappointed you by citing real evidence and I didn’t live up to your religious fundamentalist fantasies. Check the Brookings Institution data on the 'Success Sequence.' Decoupling sex from marriage is the #1 predictor of child poverty. 97% of people who marry before having kids avoid poverty.

The difference is that you think the sex is causing those outcomes, whereas the research does not (and cannot) suggest causality.

Oh, so now you’re just dismissing all evidence? Sounds like you just want confirmation bias to validate your lifestyle choices.

It's not my lifestyle choice, I just object to people who want to decide how others should live their lives

I’m no authoritarian, make whatever choices y’all want, I’m making the point that those actions do in fact have negative societal impact

Yeah you’re making it based off of 0 evidence because that’s what makes sense in your head. You assume it has an impact, you don’t know in the broader societal sense
