Do casual hookups make you feel depressed? (Read description)

Question

I was wondering what experience people had had with casual hookups (regular or one night stands) and whether they make you feel depressed afterwards? If so, are there ways to avoid this feeling after having sex with a friend and should you talk to them about it?

Answer

Sounds like casual hookups just arent for you.

Answer

If you're sad and depressed after, you need to stop and reflect on what you really wanted to begin with. I don't like one night stands because you don't know what they like, they don't know what you like, and there isn't the connection and spark there is with someone you know and care about. But I've never been depressed after, just annoyed by mediocre sex.

Answer

I was single so no I didn’t feel depressed. Honestly it felt quite good.

Answer

Casual sex isn’t for everyone. Im not bothered by it but I have friends who get very attached when they have sex with someone.

Answer

Nope. Honestly before I got with my current SO (3 years ago) I had tonsss of casual hook ups and honestly preferred that to serious relationships. It was super fun and light with no pressure or stress. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

If you can talk about it and boundaries beforehand
