"Hookups" I am told are now the "norm" for young people. The term suggests mechanical coupling not unlike a workout at the gym. Experiencing sex for selfish indulgence, seems to me a dangerous practice.
Not only does it put one’s body at risk, casual sex trivializes human connection. Men and women alike become objects of pleasure, to be used and discarded. Hearts become hardened. Once your heart is hardened, you may be less likely to be hurt, but you are also less open to love.
As a woman of some years, I'm here to tell you that although sex is great, love is better. It is not defined by a bodily act; it engages all of the human spirit. It transforms lives. It is the wind that drives the sail and will carry you and your loved ones safely through the most perilous seas.
However, such love is not for everyone. It is only for indivuals willing to hold fast to the rudder. If you are unwilling to do that; if sacrifice for love seems alien to you - hookups may be best. Tumble weeds, after all, need no rudder; free of roots they are driven by the wind.
