Do You Feel Guilty On Your Last Date?
Having a one night stand seems like fun to a lot of people. People who joins willingly to the hookup culture means that they don’t regret it. Would you agree? Well the truth is they sometimes do but they don’t announce it to the world! According to a great numbers of research samples, it’s very likely that people regret their most recent hookups. But depending on how you look at it, there may be very little to regret. Here are the reasons why you should never regret a hookup.
- You’re Strained to Risky Behavior
The researchers at PloS One have suggested that some of us have a greater tendency to be drawn to risky behavior than others. They believe these behaviors have something in common with the gene DRD4, which is also associated with cheating and gambling behaviors. People who are not prone to engaging in risky behaviors generally do not engage in hooking up. So if you feel regret after a hookup, maybe you are one of those people who aren’t drawn to risky behavior.
- It Just Feels Great
Do you know why over half of the people who have casual sex enjoy their hookups? Because it just feels good. The act of having sex feels good and the fact that people are doing it without the drama or commitment that comes with a relationship makes it feel even better. If you consider these benefits, and not what society or your family and friends say is right or wrong, you may also like it too.
- It’s Exciting
- The Pleasure Compensates the Guilt
Everything we do has a certain amount of pleasure and a certain amount of guilt tied to it. That’s just how the brain works. For example, let’s say you go into a clothing store and you see a great pair of jeans. You could either get those jeans or pay your electric bill on time. No matter what choice you make, you will feel a mixture of pleasure and regret. You just have to decide which feeling you can live with.
The same is true with hookups. Most people surveyed after a hookup have stronger positive feelings than negative ones. So while you may have some regrets, the fun, pleasure and memories will outweigh your regrets the majority of the time.
- It Depends How You View Bad Sex
Women are more likely to regret a hookup that wasn’t pleasurable. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to regret a missed opportunity for a hookup. So if a man has a choice between bad sex and no sex, most likely, he’ll “just do it.”
