But I don't think of it as an unfortunate case, like my friends do, because I actually like it that way. For now maybe, that I'm meeting a lot of wonderful guys at webdate_dot_com. It would be hard to settle for just one. For years I have more hookups than real relationships, so you’re not the only one.

Plus, society gives us the message that we *have* to be perfect before we're worthy of/ready for commitment. Eff no! Being single does not have to be a permanent thing, but too many people are just settling for that, thinking they can find nothing better. Awesome post, AM! :)

I do think that we are more promiscuous now than we were before, as the media (lyrics, video, etc.) have become far more explicit about the sexual act and other circumstances surrounding it. I don't know if there is ever going to be a throwback to a time when people exercise more discretion - hooking up in this day and age is not the same as what would have counted as a hookup ten or twenty years ago. Combined with the farcity that comes with technology (MySpace - ugh), it's just going to take a lot of hard trials and experiments for people to reach Andrea's conclusion - that there isn't time for anything other than real relationships anymore. Some people, however, will never be content with one person and will be in eternal pursuit of the hook up. And so it goes... Excellent, thoughtful post, my dear.

It not all about having sex, but the idea of making love and having fun with it. I do good and sexy loving with my webdate bf now.. and I think I'm gonna miss casual sex starting September 24.. (bells ring! lol) When I came out of a violent relationship, I miss having experimental sex with your partner. It not all about having sex, but the idea of making love and having fun with it.

And I am NOT that much older than them but it was not like that when I was their age-SWEAR!
