Question Posted Wednesday November 8 2006, 6:37 pm
Is it bad to just hook up with someone even though you're not with them? It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. I just need reassurance that it's okay. Please let me know! Thank you. ♥

MummuM answered Thursday November 9 2006, 1:41 pm: I don't see anything wrong with this. I mean, a lot of people hook up. And just because you hook up doesn't make you a slut. As long as you're just hooking up with one guy, other than hooking up with two guys every day, I don't see anything wrong with it. But, it might get a little complicated because usually when the same two people are always hooking up, feelings get involved. Just be sure to explain to the person that you don't want a relationship from this; you just want a simple hook up with no feelings involved. [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]

lawlady10 answered Wednesday November 8 2006, 7:45 pm: Depends on what you mean by hooking up. If it's just kissing then that's okay. It could be the start of a relationship! Further then that be careful, especially if it's more then one person. [ lawlady10's advice column | Ask lawlady10 A Question ]

the only thing is if you let too many people find out, they might start saying things..so just try and keep it on the downlow..either way as long as you like it :) [ bscotch's advice column | Ask bscotch A Question ]
sizzlinmandolin answered Wednesday November 8 2006, 7:09 pm: I don't think it's ok, but sadly, in today's drastically changing world it is becoming socially acceptable. There are a lot of risks involved with it that you should consider. Hooking up with the same person a few times can sometimes lead to having feelings for them which will obviously complicate things. Having a lot of partners greatly increases your chances of getting an STD. That'll stick with you the rest of your life. When you finally do want to get into a serious relationship one of several things could happen. Nobody will want you because they think you're a slut and will just cheat on them, you may be so used to hooking up that you actually will cheat, and telling your partner about all the people you hooked up with in the past will be very embarassing. Top reason not to do it, you will regret it in the future, almost guaranteed. The choice is yours, but I think that since you are already feeling that it's wrong, you shouldn't do it.

duhitsDONNA answered Wednesday November 8 2006, 3:53 pm: Well if you have to question it..then think about it. If you're not comfortable 'hooking-up' then don't do it. I personally prefer to date a guy rather than use them for a little fun. Good luck. x [ duhitsDONNA's advice column | Ask duhitsDONNA A Question ]

smackywacky16 answered Tuesday November 7 2006, 3:28 pm: If you feel like you're doing something wrong, that's your conscious. I personally don't believe in hook-ups (anything sexual). There are hundreds of diseases out there. Condoms aren't 100% protection. What if you were to contract HIV from one hook-up? Weigh your options. The stakes are too high in my opinion.

karenR answered Tuesday November 7 2006, 1:33 pm: If you need reassurance then maybe it isn't okay for you. I don't see a reason to hookup with anyone you don't see having a relationship with. Of course, depends on what you mean by "hooking up". I think there are to many life altering diseases out there
to make it completely OK. Just my opinion. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Xineph answered Tuesday November 7 2006, 10:06 am: Ehhh... Depends who you ask.
I personally don't like it. It feels to me like cheating: You get a relationship that lasts one night, and you skip through all the emotional and mental stuff and skip right to the physical stuff. I think all the aspects are equal, and have never felt a reason to skip.
However, as long as you're not taking advantage of anybody (e.g. somebody has a boy/girl friend), then go for it! If you want physical and so does he, nothing's wrong with it. Plus, there's always the chance you WILL get with them after the hook up. Good luck. [ Xineph's advice column | Ask Xineph A Question ]
orphans answered Tuesday November 7 2006, 8:57 am: nope i did it last night (me and my friends went to a night club)
my friends hooked up with strangers last night, but i knew the guy. i dont think you should feel like your doing something wrong, because it is human nature to be curious/have 'sexual feelings' haha [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
Teza answered Tuesday November 7 2006, 7:37 am: Hooking up is fine. It's not always good to do these one time things because when you hook up with someone, you might actually start liking them a lot more. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
