It is normal that many people, at some point in their lives, have fantasized about casual sex with an unknown person without any connection; seems one of those fantasies with a happy and fun-filled ending, linked to a certain level and social status.
However, the reality can be a little different. What if I say that casual sex can increase depression levels and the feeling of emptiness the following week?
- Today’s society sells sex as something that can be easily disconnected from the sentimental life.
- Justifying instincts.
- The animal part of each.
- With the primitive part of the brain.
- In addition.
- Casual sex has been linked to parties.
- Youth.
- Alcohol and pure pleasure.
- But it turns out that a recent study.
- Published in the Journal of Sex Research.
- Not only does it deny it.
- But has surprisingly concluded that the side effect of casual sex is.
- In most cases.
- The opposite of what is expected.
“But it was to be expected, women have always been sentimental, but casual sex is a matter of men!” this claim could resonate in the minds of many, however, the irony of this study was to conclude that levels of depression and stress immediately after casual sex increased in women and men.
However (before a man appears defending himself with nails and teeth and trying to deny it), it should be noted that this characteristic does not appear suddenly after a night of sex with an unknown person, but in those who previously had a history of depression and those who tend to seek (unconsciously) unhappy unhappy relationships unhappy to try to fill an emotional void.
Shortly after this study (applied to young people between the age of 18 and 25), experts concluded that when these young people went through a stage of high emotional sensitivity, they sought relationships in which they could have casual sex to free themselves from stress. However, these not only did not provide them with satisfaction, but also increased alarming levels of depression and anxiety, generating negative and self-destructive thoughts.
The positive part of the overall study was when it was concluded that these young people, by establishing more stable relationships and waiting two to three weeks before having sex, achieved a greater degree of stability and satisfaction, which even lasted until more than a year. year together.
Sex can be fun and healthy, as long as reason is included with instincts, even if the modern world encourages us to have casual sex, I think that when you include the sentimental part, tastes and thought of the carnal act, you can be much more satisfying and a more complete experience for both parties, without anyone being involved. Feel a simple sexual object.
