opinion: meaningless hook-ups

[ryu_]

so i would like your opinion on meaningless hook-ups. lately my ex and i have been talking again (yes you can see it coming :p) and he wants to just hook up, no strings attached. I'd just like you, the reader's, input unto this conundrum.

[Blood]

If all individuals involved are aware that's it's a meaningless hook up with no strings attached, and they're ok with it being that way, then I don't see any problem.

[Quick_Sylver]

As long as both of you are consensual, both of you are aware there's no strings attached and can feel comfortable, go for it!

[indoxyl]

50% of the time people end up having feelings for their "hook-up buddy" so theres that
but if you really believe you two can just stay as a hook-up thing, then go for it

[Eric57]

In general, I don't see anything wrong with meaningless hook-ups as long as both people involved are aware that it is just that: meaningless.

However, my advice to you is: If you still have feelings for your ex or if you think your feelings will redevelop, then I do not suggest hooking up. Simply because it will most likely end in tears. You'll get hurt because your ex doesn't want more and you do. So if you know for a fact that it is 100% meaningless fun, then go ahead. However, if you even have the slightest doubt that it's not or won't be, I don't suggest it.

But again, in general, I don't see any issue with it at all.

I wouldn't want to.
I want a real relationship.

[tedheath]

Nothing wrong with them

[workingatperfect]

If you can keep old feelings out of it, go right ahead. There's nothing wrong with meaningless sex as long as you both understand that's all it is, and see it as such.

[mrmee]

I make it a point never to get back with my ex's. Second chances never end well.

[Tarannosaurus]

Nothing wrong with that, if it's what you want. Make sure you're emotionally able to manage a meaningless hook-up, i.e. that it won't bring up old emotions for him and upset you.

[Berad]

Comes down to personal opinion. Me personally, I wouldn't hook up with a stranger. But if I knew them decently, and was attracted to them. It'd depend on a lot of things though.

[highschool]

like everyone said, if you're sure it can stay "meaningless" then go for it

[Jalinta]

Like most of the others have said, as long as you can both keep your feelings out of it and are cool with the whole meaningless thing, then go for it. I dont' think there's anything wrong with them at all, I just personalyl wouldn't recommend them - it's all up to your own opinion though :)

[gliderman]

If both of you are fine with it, and feelings doesn't get in the way, I'd say go for it :D

[Dannibabi]

I guess if you're both ok with it than fine. It's your decision so if you both want to then go ahead, it's not anyone else's business. I know I could never do anything like that but that's just me.
