Kinda crazy that two people will have hardcore unprotected sex w each other the first time meeting but then several months down the road refuse to say “I love you” out of fear of changing the relationship dynamics. I think that’s a little backwards tbhMy girlfriend and I were really good friends before we started dating, and we waited like two weeks after first hooking up to say we loved each other, but it usually takes a little longer for that to be true when you don’t have that pre-existing knowledge of each other as people I feel like
No the point is the hardcore unprotected, often extremely intimate sex is generally supposed to come after the two people confess feelings and love for one another. There’s no greater expression of true love between two individuals than physical and sexual intimacy and as a society we have flipped the script on that over the past 30ish years.
well i’m in no position to judge other people for how they perceive these things. you think it’s supposed to come after i love you, some people think it’s about as meaningful as kissing. i’ve heard of other people saving their first kiss for their wedding day, i wouldn’t do that, but who are we to dictate how other people should place meaning on certain actions
honestly purity culture is a big reason why sex has been more than the confession of love. women were expected to “save themselves for their husbands” and submit to having sex with them whether they loved them or not. i don’t necessarily think society has devalued the meaning of sex but just liberated it’s restrictions
Something as subjective as love and emotional value doesn’t really compare to something of economical value. You can personally not like an antique car but you can’t change its market value. But there’s no real baseline for how valuable sex and love are “supposed” to be, it’s all based on the individual.
My point is that society that encourages casual sex and hookup culture is devaluing sex whereas a culture where sex is the most sacred intimate bond between and man and woman in marriage is valuing it more. This is not only true from a religious perspective if you read the Bible but from a natural biological perspective as in both men and women are brain chemistry changes when we have sex in a process known as pair bonding
I used to believe that sex is the greatest expression of love between two people but I don’t think that’s always the case. Emotional connections for me are way more intimate and even just looking at my partner will make me cry of joy and that kind of connection was not made thru sex
