I am a handsome gay man and I can open up Grindr to pick todays solution to my sexual loneliness at any time. Sometimes I do, because my hormones and lust dictate my actions. Just invite someone over during home
office and fornicate while I carefully listen to Slack sounds in the background.
Generally all it lead to so far was the whole ABC of STDs and even more loneliness. Sex is incredibly overrated and I probably have more experience with it than the vast majority of all humans so I can say that with confidence. The only part of me that would miss it is are my uncontrollable lower animal brain areas and my misaligned pleasure/reward circuits.
Let me repeat: Having lots of great sexual encounters with people you consider very attractive changes nothing in your life. Building and finding friendships, "true connections" and love does, but those generally do not need sex.
At least a few of my (sex) dates turned into lasting friendships.
- seydor 4y agothis is not solving anything though. people who end up with long-term lonenlines feel (rightly) practically excluded from society and STDs are not high in their concerns
- Traubenfuchs 4y agoBut sex does not make you feel less lonely.
- allisdust 4y agoThe problem is, the ones valuing it most are the ones getting it the least. My guess is that if they do end up getting it a lot, they might end up with the same conclusion as you.
