I’m sure this is asked often but I am struggling to get my own perspective. I 23M am bohemian and nomadic. I have long hair, tons of jewelry, baggy clothes and I am always on the move. I spend most of my time in national parks and I am rarely in one state for more than a few months. This lifestyle is intense and not for everyone, and I don’t intend to do it forever, but I wanted to travel while I was young and I love all the beautiful experiences I have. That being said I am usually away from society for weeks or months at a time and the loneliness gets to be a lot. I keep in good touch with my folks which helps but the touch starvation is extreme. However I never really have trouble with women. People find me exotic and interesting and I am usually able to get a good response from women when I try. However I simply don’t think I could have a long term relationship with this lifestyle. Too many sacrifices and too unstable to ask of just any girl, and I have had no luck finding a nomadic woman in over a year. It has already been over a year since my last encounter and I’m seriously considering starting to look for casual partners. How do you guys feel about hookup culture? In the 60s the sexual revolution liberated our sexual behaviors from the very strict taboos and societal norms of the time, and it normalized having purely safe and pleasurable sex. However I feel like the pendulum is swinging the other way now. Many women worry about safety, and feel that casual encounters would leave them feeling physically unsatisfied and emotionally isolated or “used” it seems that the majority of women prefer to keep their desire strictly to long term partners, and are very opposed to or even disgusted by casual sex. I take no for an answer and don’t get offended by rejection. I test for stds and always wear protection. I am very serious about consent and communication. I treat everyone with respect and would make my partner feel as comfortable and safe as possible, and I have learned a lot from previous partners and feel that I could leave a women satisfied. In a situation like this do you think it would be worth it? I fear that I would get a lot of hate or that hookup culture may be more saturated or toxic than I care for.
