But I just hope one day when I'm much more healthy I can learn to be intimate and vulnerable in a healthy way. Thank you Emily for the great content, and also helping me realize something about myself, lmao wasn't expecting the epiphany. Yall stay blessed.
ngl I find hookup culture to be quite damaging to a lot of people. I'm college age and I've been in a few relationships, but I've found quite a few of my friends really struggle with validating themselves through hookups To have the choice to do what you want and not to be judged for it is incredibly important imo, so I'd never say we should villainise hooking up or anything like that; the main issue is that many people seem to fall into it as a coping mechanism, and for them it can be really destructive That said, some people just get a lot and feel great and that's Aok Power to all y'all kings, queens, and in betweens
Yeah I have a friend that definitely used hooking up as a coping mechanism for a while and it made me feel awful because I was worried but didn't really know how to talk to her about it without making her feel guilty for it, it's really complicated
Not to mention as women most of the time you don't even get an orgasm out of it. Dude just uses you as a fleshlight and by the time he's done you just wanna go home. Or have I been doing it wrong?
Are you tired of being in uncomfortable social situations and you dont know what to say? Do you feel awkward when you go to hook up with someone? Social anxiety is the solution for you! With social anxiety you no longer want to leave your room and never see another human being. No people, no awkward situations. Buy social anxiety today and get 1 order of depression for free. Side effects may include dying alone, having no friends and an unstable mental health. Terms and conditions apply
I guess. But then again you can choose not to hook up with people. Maybe some people are just more hypersexual and don't feel the need to have a relationship at the current moment. And maybe some people want to have a fulfilling relationship with someone and share a connection with them. It really depends on what you want in the end
@@thesevenkingswelove9554 I think it's because it seems like it's creating a culture where it pressures the woman to "put out" before she's ready and gotten to know the guy more, knowing that if she doesn't, he'll just move on bc he can get some somewhere else super easily thru these apps. makes u feel like a number w the expectation that u should "put out" asap when all ur doing is trying to find something real. that's a very hetero view of things, gay girls don't rly work the same way so i'm good :)
@@abigaelrarts2257 You're assuming that women want emotional connection in order to have sex with a guy. Which isn't necessarily true. Some women just want a one night stand / a sexual based relationship without strings of attachment. "Hookup culture" is more so a personality thing, not a gender thing.
Just had a flash of Emily in her bedroom talking to herself before getting up, changing clothes, sitting back down and resuming the self talk. *Except now she's facing the other way...*
I'm pretty sure her family could figure out that she has gotten frisky at least twice or else she wouldn't have made this vid. Like she wants to get caught.
I thought I was the only one that felt this way, I feel like a lot of times people aren't being honest with themselves, I think you hit the nail on the head with the last skit, that everyone wants emotional connection but they feel its easier just to hookup and they're afraid of opening up and being vulnerable for the fear they'll get hurt, but everything that's worth having has a risk x
@@dreamingblue3939 exactly, ever since I can remember I've always known I want to be with one person and have a deep love with them but like she mentioned in the video I noticed too that society has this strange promotion of hookup culture and it being the norm, when really its 9 times out of 10 people missing connection and trying to fill that void with hookups
I'm sorry 🤚 no hooking up until we profess our love for each other after having been intensely platonic for years me typing this: oh i'm not demisexual :) haha i love jokes future me, looming behind: you sweet summer child
I hate it I think it’s damaging and sucks. Both parties eventually feel empty afterwards and it’s creating a culture where “the grass is always greener” because of all the dating apps, so nobody wants to commit because there’s so many available options. I’ve been celibate for 2 years because of it. People also automatically assume you’re down to hookup now too and I have to make it explicitly clear I’m not interested in that. People are also much more prone to enter ‘situationships’ now because they can get the good without having to commit and it blurs the lines between partners
the worst case scenario in this culture is for someone to pretend they love you and pretend to be in a relationship with you just so they can get into your pants for a whole year
In the gay community, hookup culture is very common. I was apart of it for a few years, and ended up in a great long-term relationship because of a hookup with 0 expectations.
So true, specialy with gay guys which is understandable. Unfortunately it makes it harder for gay people who are looking for long term relationship to actually find it.
@@winstonmarlowe5254 dude, respectfully, shut up. I'm simply putting my view out there. A view not nessessarily hurting anyone. Hbu mind your own business, thanks
Sometimes it doesn't come tho. Or rather it feels that way since so much time goes by (I'm talking months) since any prior possible romantic interaction. I've found I even have to be the one to initiate things all the time or else I go extended periods of time without any friend prospects. And whenever something comes up, I typically forget the lessons I learned from previous experiences because that's what happens when you go months/years without reinforcing a lesson. You repeat the mistake. Just saying. If one day you decide you want to experience something different, it's on you to make it happen. The waiting game is a lie.
Hookup culture sucks, well it's just not for me. I have only ever slept with one guy but every other guy I meet will eventually or immediately want to talk about sexual things with you. I'm just not interested without forming an emotional bond/connection which I crave from most people. Also I haven't fully experienced the cutesy, lovey dovey, and wholesome type of relationship. There is absolutely no romance. I really want someone to lean on, hold hands with, peck, and do things that make me FEEL good. I want to feel inspired to make food for someone I deeply care about. My whole family and friends ask me why I haven't been dating anyone, well, because I just have shit luck. I am not even picky about appearance at all! I like them all sizes, wide or short. I just want a guy who will work his way into my heart, I am not just going to hand my heart to some dude to play with. The most wholesome guy I ever met was twice my age and he didn't have any relationship experience either, I thought he was perfect. Too bad he was hella older than me. I just want a sweet guy who wont expect sex from me too soon, who tolerates my affectionate side, will eat the food I make, and actually enjoys my company.
you just wrote out the problem in plain sight yourself. Guys who are wholesome and don't look at women as trophies they get to dominate and take end up being rejected. Girls say they want nice wholesome guys, but in reality, they actually go for the jerks and assholes, the guys who appear to be confident but is really just narcissism. But that's the kind of personality girls fall for.
It feels close to home. I also think that asking for a relationship with an emotional connection isn’t too much to expect. And I’ve had the same experience as you. When I tried to talk to guys, they start very quickly to show sexual intentions with me, and in all fairness it grosses me out. I know that not all guys are like that but imagine getting 90% of your interactions being guys wanting you as their sex object. I think if you’re looking for a genuine guy who will respect you and be romantic with you, you should wait for him :). He’s probably out there waiting for you to be the best version of yourself. Stay strong with your values and don’t settle for less. You deserve to be with a guy who’s genuine! And your age, cute, educated and a gentlemen. There aren’t many guys like that, but they exist :) be on the lookout.
If you don't want a man who expects sex from you then I would recommend asexual guys :] I don't have much to add to this I just wanted for someone to find that we exist
@Hi My Name Is what are you even saying? Doing something extreme is never good. However it goes both ways. Being obsessed with someone romantically and sexually is not right.
@Hi My Name Is Well it was hypocrite when you first said that being sexually obsessed is not good when being romantically obsessed with is not as well.
I love your videos and the bits where you're arguing against characters! It reminds me of contrapoints! I think hookup culture as you said comes with pros and cons. I think it's really dependent on the person, and how secure they are tbh (also… If they have an influence of any kind). Hookup culture does tend to overlap with people who use it as a way to validate themselves and shame others who aren't as sexually active. And it’s not always obvious either, it can be statements that really wear you down over time. It does and can force people to feel that they need to participate in that culture to feel accepted and valid amongst their peers. You have to be a certain kind of person to be okay with consistent hookups, and if you’re not- then you’re not and that’s okay. You don’t really hear that enough imo. There’s also that weird pressure as a woman where you’re either seen as prudish, or not empowering for not being “sexual” or “kinky” enough; on the flip side you’re seen as “easy”, and all sorts of derogatory terms if you indulge in sexual activities. No winning at all. Not entirely tied to hookup culture, but I think this all bleeds together. To add onto that bit of empowerment, there’s also this weird dissonance where if you’re not having so-called kinky sex, then you’re not empowered or feminist enough which feels deeply unfeminist in itself lol, but I think that ties into hookup culture because seeing that messaging spread out (far enough for someone really young to see it) is lowkey kind of insidious and grooms a lot of women to feel they need to indulge in bdsm activities both in relationships and casual hookups. AND! For way too many men to think that they can choke women without consent (due in part to this messaging). It’s legitimately dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing, and a little more dangerous when you’re engaging with a stranger. You can seriously hurt somebody! I think our perception of sex and female sexuality has largely been skewed due to the male gaze. I think a lot of proclamations of being kinky/very into hookup culture are geared towards men in a palatable way :/ instead of sex positivity and enjoying sex in whatever way you want. It always feels pointed towards someone instead of just enjoying sex as it is. It’s way worse when I see creators casually talk about hookups and bdsm-adjacent things (and often play it as what makes them cool) without ever advocating for safety, consent, comfort zones, and testing. Especially since a lot of younger viewers tune in, and don’t feel comfortable listening to these topics from their teachers, parents etc. I think people should be more cognizant of their words, and that they’re not invalidating people for doing what they want with their bodies. I hope that came across clearly lmao. It’s a complicated topic that could take me hours to write LMAO Againnnn, love your videos! :)
To add on your point of bdsm-like practices, it's making me think of ths youtuber Kat Blaque and how she uses the term Vanillas (non bdsm practictioners) in an almost condescending way. Almost how "virgins" is sometimes used in a derogatory way
The way you exposed me.. oh to actually venture out to meet new people and normalize wanting emotional connection and tearing down my walls.. really hit too close to hole huh
I totally feel you! This video makes me feel understood. I often go looking for an emotional connection, but end up only getting physical intimacy. It's weird how you are comfortable being naked in front of someone but not dare to text them good night. I'm so tired of the push and pull game in modern dating where you will be seen as needy if you want something stable and serious. I'm taking a break from dating due to the pandemic and some bad experiences in the past. But like you said, liking someone feels good! The butterflies feeling is the best even though you risk getting hurt. I'm talking in circles but I do hope that I can still hopeful about the real kind of love exists in the midst of chaotic hookups.
Hookup culture kinda ruined romance, natural flirting etc. And it makes dating quite difficult for conservative people like me who has to think about both their and their parents' religious belief.
This was too funny and real. Just taken a big break from relationship stuff and was super happy doing my own thing but I just started talking to someone, and I honestly forgot how nice it is to be messaging someone back and forth and realising you've had a big goofy smile on your face the whole time. You can forgot those amazing little parts of forming a connection with someone after going through a bad relationship and it feels amazing to rediscover them. Thanks for shining a spotlight on this subject :)
I definitely agree with you. Hookup culture gave me a lot of fun stories and freedom to explore what I want, but it also made me so, so afraid to feel emotionally attached to people, eventually breaking my heart (because I did usually end up falling for someone who wasn't as committed in the end). I'm glad I was able to kind of let go of the "I'm not looking for anything serious" mindset, because I was probably restraining myself emotionally more than I initially thought. Being able to let yourself feel those feelings is so much better than constantly worrying about committing to someone (in any way).
Right, this video completely matched my thoughts on this topic. I love body positivity and stuff and I don't see hookups as a bad thing, but I feel like a lot of norms have changed socially in this age. It's odd to find someone. Then again, maybe now we're more selective in who we date and stuff. Since last century things like divorce were such a taboo, I feel like it was more likely to end up with a mismatch and just be satisfied. Because we're so mobile regarding dating this day and age we're allowed to be more selective which I think is great because it gives you better odds of finding someone that really fits you. Lovely video greets from the Netherlands xox.
As ace I'm a weird place. I have a hard time finding people attractive without having feelings for them. And I don't want a relationship now, cause I've broke up a 4 years engagement. But it doesn't mean I don't wanna physical experience. So it's just a mess.
i could never hook up with a stranger. it sounds so scary and awkward. that takes a lot of trust and vulnerability someone could easily take advantage of you or just not be good at it.
this is one of my favorite videos of yours. it’s so well put together and i enjoyed hearing a little more about your personal life! college/early 20s are such an interesting time when it comes to learning about yourself and figuring out what u like

@@boredhuman3561 lol such a sad mindset, gains in the gym come from repeated tearing and healing of the muscles, gains in any skill require time and effort, having a stable relationship comes from searching, connecting and putting yourself in a vulnerable spot.

i've been in the situation where i started to get emotionally attached to my hookups because i was feeling very lonely. so being less "experienced" at the time hook up culture made me look for emotional intimacy in the wrong place. so i totally understand you when you say it's good but risky
Hey Emily! Love your content; I appreciate the thoughtfulness (and the wry humor). As a married father of two, I can guarantee that hook-up culture, though fun for a short while, sucks in the end. People aren´t meant for hook-ups; they´re meant for relationships-real relationships. But as long as people are really prioritizing their own desires over those of other potential mates, they´ll never find it. The ocean is full of water-and it can provide you with a lot of thrilling adventures and experiences. But the one thing it can´t do is quench your thirst. All drinking the ocean does in that case is make you even more desperate for even a single drop of fresh water. Keep drinking the ocean and eventually, it´ll kill you. That´s kind of how I look at hook-up culture vs loving relationships. Cheers!
I agree! It was fun for awhile and i dont regret it in the very least, but after some time i felt like i had a void to fill and i knew casual sex wasnt gonna cut it anymore. I'm glad i was honest enough with myself to shift gears when i noticed that in me and started looking for a relationship (which luckily worked for me). Plus relationship sex i just better.
Ok. This maybe unrelated but Emily's videos give me the feeling of a Friday when I'm done with all my school work for the week. A stressful week. Now I'm at my (only) friend's house and we're discussing these topics.

I feel like this video had a more serious undertone than usual and I’d like to say, thanks. This meant a lot to me where I’m in my life right now and was... just generally a relief I guess? It voiced some things I’ve been thinking about for a while
I’m 55. U guys are crazy AF!! I’m still single in Australia and the hookup culture is prolific in every demographic now. I’m struggling to find a proper, deep connection with ANY woman these days! 🤦🏼♂️ It only leads to ruin….
It was really nice seeing you get vulnerable talking about this topic. Personnally hookup culture was nice to me since i didnt have any bad experiences and that i was able to identify when i needed more than just sex. I think ppl should really be introspective about it and ask themselves if they want to partake in such a culture and to what extent. If they already are, they should ask themselves if it's good for them or if it is actually detrimental. Not having sex doesnt make you uncool just as much as having sex doesnt make you cool. It's a thing you do or not because you want to (or not) do it. Also never forget that you can dip out at any given moment of the process. Even if you are naked in the person's bed. If you're feeling more anxious than excited, you should just cancel, try another time, maybe with someone different.
falling in love and having a special emotional connection with just one person is the greatest gift of all time. the hookup culture has taken something beautiful and made it cheep and worthless. i was never part of the hook up culture - i tried to do everything right - but my heart has been broken a few times now and it was for the same reason each time ........... they valued money over love. it really hurt but i eventually realized that many people are incapable of higher level emotion. love is when two people share one soul. i made the decision to continue waiting and i feel ......... like ....... a seed under the frosty winter snow waiting for the warm shining sun of spring. true love is the reward at the end of the journey.
Correction, true love is reward on an end of your journey which is fine. However please don't speak like it is for all. This might not be what you mean but you sounded like you spoke for all.
Analysis from an older person: For men, hookup culture creates a division in a small group that gets all the sex they desire and a large group that is invisible to women. For women, hookup culture makes it really hard to find a romantic partner because the men she has sex with have no intention in forming a relationship. Furthermore the best man she hooked up with will become the entry bar to judge a potential partner, resulting in unrealistic expectations making it even harder to find a boyfriend. Hookup culture only benefits a small group of men and an even smaller group of promiscuous women who don't want a relation. It complicates things for the rest.
I'm dating a girl who really just wanted to hook up. We met on a dating app. Thing is it's gotten to a point where she's in disbelief of how good our relationship is getting because of the idea of hookup culture, because it isn't just touch and go and all that shit. Sometimes you just wanna bang and there ain't nothing wrong with that but the problem comes when people get so used to hookup culture being the norm to the point that actual healthy loving relationships become...well, weird. I guess the good and bad that I've learned is Hook up as much as you want, sure. That's fine. But don't think it's the highest standard you deserve. A loving genuine relationship is still possible even in these fucked up times.

Yeah I have a friend that definitely used hooking up as a coping mechanism for a while and it made me feel awful because I was worried but didn't really know how to talk to her about it without making her feel guilty for it, it's really complicated

@@green_goose1 congratulations!!!
Well this is...an unexpected topic to talk about-
Yah lol
It’s only uncomfortable if you participate in it... (;
Who am I kidding this is so guilt trippy ;c
I’m so glad you added “to defeat the huns”, because that literally all I wanna hear after “get down to business” no matter the context
Are you tired of being in uncomfortable social situations and you dont know what to say? Do you feel awkward when you go to hook up with someone? Social anxiety is the solution for you! With social anxiety you no longer want to leave your room and never see another human being. No people, no awkward situations. Buy social anxiety today and get 1 order of depression for free.

You know it's a good day when Not Even Emily uploads
i think hook up culture just makes it harder for people to be able to forge personal connections
I guess. But then again you can choose not to hook up with people. Maybe some people are just more hypersexual and don't feel the need to have a relationship at the current moment. And maybe some people want to have a fulfilling relationship with someone and share a connection with them. It really depends on what you want in the end
@@thesevenkingswelove9554 I think it's because it seems like it's creating a culture where it pressures the woman to "put out" before she's ready and gotten to know the guy more, knowing that if she doesn't, he'll just move on bc he can get some somewhere else super easily thru these apps. makes u feel like a number w the expectation that u should "put out" asap when all ur doing is trying to find something real. that's a very hetero view of things, gay girls don't rly work the same way so i'm good :)
@@abigaelrarts2257
You're assuming that women want emotional connection in order to have sex with a guy. Which isn't necessarily true. Some women just want a one night stand / a sexual based relationship without strings of attachment.
"Hookup culture" is more so a personality thing, not a gender thing.
@@unknown0290 I agree. Idk why ppl think that women are so “pure” and emotional lol.

Never fail to make me laugh
I thought I was the only one that felt this way, I feel like a lot of times people aren't being honest with themselves, I think you hit the nail on the head with the last skit, that everyone wants emotional connection but they feel its easier just to hookup and they're afraid of opening up and being vulnerable for the fear they'll get hurt, but everything that's worth having has a risk x
Well said. I have a lot of friends who are in that place right now.
@@dreamingblue3939 exactly, ever since I can remember I've always known I want to be with one person and have a deep love with them but like she mentioned in the video I noticed too that society has this strange promotion of hookup culture and it being the norm, when really its 9 times out of 10 people missing connection and trying to fill that void with hookups

HAHAHAH HIS IS ME
Best trope😌
I hate it I think it’s damaging and sucks. Both parties eventually feel empty afterwards and it’s creating a culture where “the grass is always greener” because of all the dating apps, so nobody wants to commit because there’s so many available options. I’ve been celibate for 2 years because of it. People also automatically assume you’re down to hookup now too and I have to make it explicitly clear I’m not interested in that. People are also much more prone to enter ‘situationships’ now because they can get the good without having to commit and it blurs the lines between partners
the worst case scenario in this culture is for someone to pretend they love you and pretend to be in a relationship with you just so they can get into your pants for a whole year
Not once was risk of getting pregnant or catching an std mentioned, it's very important to be aware of these risks

We could have been born any time throughout history, but we just so happened to be born in a time where Emily exists
In the gay community, hookup culture is very common. I was apart of it for a few years, and ended up in a great long-term relationship because of a hookup with 0 expectations.
So true, specialy with gay guys which is understandable. Unfortunately it makes it harder for gay people who are looking for long term relationship to actually find it.
that only happens very rarely, mostly one person gets hurt because she wanted more and the other person just don‘t care hun
I kinda support homosexuality, but I don't support hookup culture, I think sex should be within a strong healthy relationship, for gays and straights
@@mcoolio3943 No one cares whether you approve of their lifestyle. Mind your own business.
@@winstonmarlowe5254 dude, respectfully, shut up. I'm simply putting my view out there. A view not nessessarily hurting anyone. Hbu mind your own business, thanks
I’m 21 and I don’t think I’m ready for a relationship. If it comes it comes :)
Sometimes it doesn't come tho. Or rather it feels that way since so much time goes by (I'm talking months) since any prior possible romantic interaction.
I've found I even have to be the one to initiate things all the time or else I go extended periods of time without any friend prospects. And whenever something comes up, I typically forget the lessons I learned from previous experiences because that's what happens when you go months/years without reinforcing a lesson. You repeat the mistake.
Just saying. If one day you decide you want to experience something different, it's on you to make it happen. The waiting game is a lie.
That last sketch was too relatable. See you in therapy.
Ik this is random but for the longest time I used to think Meme was pronounces "me me" AND NO ONE CORRECTED ME😭🙁
People probably thought you were saying that ironically
I mean...it kinda does in spanish
oof
Oh yini mntase, nobody fr?😅😅
This is such a treat. 🥺
Hookup culture sucks, well it's just not for me. I have only ever slept with one guy but every other guy I meet will eventually or immediately want to talk about sexual things with you. I'm just not interested without forming an emotional bond/connection which I crave from most people.
Also I haven't fully experienced the cutesy, lovey dovey, and wholesome type of relationship. There is absolutely no romance. I really want someone to lean on, hold hands with, peck, and do things that make me FEEL good. I want to feel inspired to make food for someone I deeply care about.
My whole family and friends ask me why I haven't been dating anyone, well, because I just have shit luck. I am not even picky about appearance at all! I like them all sizes, wide or short. I just want a guy who will work his way into my heart, I am not just going to hand my heart to some dude to play with.
The most wholesome guy I ever met was twice my age and he didn't have any relationship experience either, I thought he was perfect. Too bad he was hella older than me. I just want a sweet guy who wont expect sex from me too soon, who tolerates my affectionate side, will eat the food I make, and actually enjoys my company.
you just wrote out the problem in plain sight yourself. Guys who are wholesome and don't look at women as trophies they get to dominate and take end up being rejected. Girls say they want nice wholesome guys, but in reality, they actually go for the jerks and assholes, the guys who appear to be confident but is really just narcissism. But that's the kind of personality girls fall for.
I hope you find what you're looking for. I think the right person is well worth waiting for- no matter how long the waiting is.
I got so moved by your words... good luck with your journey and hopefully you will meet your soul mate... you deserve all the best.. you are a gem!
It feels close to home. I also think that asking for a relationship with an emotional connection isn’t too much to expect. And I’ve had the same experience as you. When I tried to talk to guys, they start very quickly to show sexual intentions with me, and in all fairness it grosses me out. I know that not all guys are like that but imagine getting 90% of your interactions being guys wanting you as their sex object.
I think if you’re looking for a genuine guy who will respect you and be romantic with you, you should wait for him :). He’s probably out there waiting for you to be the best version of yourself. Stay strong with your values and don’t settle for less. You deserve to be with a guy who’s genuine! And your age, cute, educated and a gentlemen. There aren’t many guys like that, but they exist :) be on the lookout.
If you don't want a man who expects sex from you
then I would recommend asexual guys :]
I don't have much to add to this

“Get down to business.... to defeat the Huns.” LMAOOO bruh
The conversations would be interesting if people will just be honest..
I love your videos and the bits where you're arguing against characters! It reminds me of contrapoints!
I think hookup culture as you said comes with pros and cons. I think it's really dependent on the person, and how secure they are tbh (also… If they have an influence of any kind). Hookup culture does tend to overlap with people who use it as a way to validate themselves and shame others who aren't as sexually active. And it’s not always obvious either, it can be statements that really wear you down over time. It does and can force people to feel that they need to participate in that culture to feel accepted and valid amongst their peers. You have to be a certain kind of person to be okay with consistent hookups, and if you’re not- then you’re not and that’s okay. You don’t really hear that enough imo.
There’s also that weird pressure as a woman where you’re either seen as prudish, or not empowering for not being “sexual” or “kinky” enough; on the flip side you’re seen as “easy”, and all sorts of derogatory terms if you indulge in sexual activities. No winning at all.
Not entirely tied to hookup culture, but I think this all bleeds together. To add onto that bit of empowerment, there’s also this weird dissonance where if you’re not having so-called kinky sex, then you’re not empowered or feminist enough which feels deeply unfeminist in itself lol, but I think that ties into hookup culture because seeing that messaging spread out (far enough for someone really young to see it) is lowkey kind of insidious and grooms a lot of women to feel they need to indulge in bdsm activities both in relationships and casual hookups. AND! For way too many men to think that they can choke women without consent (due in part to this messaging). It’s legitimately dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing, and a little more dangerous when you’re engaging with a stranger. You can seriously hurt somebody!
I think our perception of sex and female sexuality has largely been skewed due to the male gaze. I think a lot of proclamations of being kinky/very into hookup culture are geared towards men in a palatable way :/ instead of sex positivity and enjoying sex in whatever way you want. It always feels pointed towards someone instead of just enjoying sex as it is.
It’s way worse when I see creators casually talk about hookups and bdsm-adjacent things (and often play it as what makes them cool) without ever advocating for safety, consent, comfort zones, and testing. Especially since a lot of younger viewers tune in, and don’t feel comfortable listening to these topics from their teachers, parents etc. I think people should be more cognizant of their words, and that they’re not invalidating people for doing what they want with their bodies. I hope that came across clearly lmao. It’s a complicated topic that could take me hours to write LMAO
Againnnn, love your videos! :)

Very intelligent, well articulated, emotionally knowledgeable, mature comment we got here!
To add on your point of bdsm-like practices, it's making me think of ths youtuber Kat Blaque and how she uses the term Vanillas (non bdsm practictioners) in an almost condescending way. Almost how "virgins" is sometimes used in a derogatory way

I totally feel you! This video makes me feel understood. I often go looking for an emotional connection, but end up only getting physical intimacy. It's weird how you are comfortable being naked in front of someone but not dare to text them good night. I'm so tired of the push and pull game in modern dating where you will be seen as needy if you want something stable and serious. I'm taking a break from dating due to the pandemic and some bad experiences in the past. But like you said, liking someone feels good! The butterflies feeling is the best even though you risk getting hurt. I'm talking in circles but I do hope that I can still hopeful about the real kind of love exists in the midst of chaotic hookups.

Hookup culture kinda ruined romance, natural flirting etc. And it makes dating quite difficult for conservative people like me who has to think about both their and their parents' religious belief.
This was too funny and real. Just taken a big break from relationship stuff and was super happy doing my own thing but I just started talking to someone, and I honestly forgot how nice it is to be messaging someone back and forth and realising you've had a big goofy smile on your face the whole time. You can forgot those amazing little parts of forming a connection with someone after going through a bad relationship and it feels amazing to rediscover them. Thanks for shining a spotlight on this subject :)
I definitely agree with you. Hookup culture gave me a lot of fun stories and freedom to explore what I want, but it also made me so, so afraid to feel emotionally attached to people, eventually breaking my heart (because I did usually end up falling for someone who wasn't as committed in the end).
I'm glad I was able to kind of let go of the "I'm not looking for anything serious" mindset, because I was probably restraining myself emotionally more than I initially thought. Being able to let yourself feel those feelings is so much better than constantly worrying about committing to someone (in any way).
I usually don't think about hookup culture but whenever I start to think about it I realize I am glad that I am ace.
"So he wants to break things with you"
Chad loves that women think this is liberation.
why does this feel like a therapy appointment
Right, this video completely matched my thoughts on this topic. I love body positivity and stuff and I don't see hookups as a bad thing, but I feel like a lot of norms have changed socially in this age. It's odd to find someone. Then again, maybe now we're more selective in who we date and stuff. Since last century things like divorce were such a taboo, I feel like it was more likely to end up with a mismatch and just be satisfied. Because we're so mobile regarding dating this day and age we're allowed to be more selective which I think is great because it gives you better odds of finding someone that really fits you. Lovely video greets from the Netherlands xox.
I for one, do not wish to participate in hook up culture, and I do not wish anyone to be forced into hookup culture, so, do what you want.
As ace I'm a weird place. I have a hard time finding people attractive without having feelings for them. And I don't want a relationship now, cause I've broke up a 4 years engagement. But it doesn't mean I don't wanna physical experience. So it's just a mess.
i could never hook up with a stranger. it sounds so scary and awkward. that takes a lot of trust and vulnerability someone could easily take advantage of you or just not be good at it.
The problem are people who are saying "there is nothing wrong with hooking up, it's just not for me".
this is one of my favorite videos of yours. it’s so well put together and i enjoyed hearing a little more about your personal life! college/early 20s are such an interesting time when it comes to learning about yourself and figuring out what u like

i've been in the situation where i started to get emotionally attached to my hookups because i was feeling very lonely. so being less "experienced" at the time hook up culture made me look for emotional intimacy in the wrong place. so i totally understand you when you say it's good but risky
Hey Emily! Love your content; I appreciate the thoughtfulness (and the wry humor). As a married father of two, I can guarantee that hook-up culture, though fun for a short while, sucks in the end. People aren´t meant for hook-ups; they´re meant for relationships-real relationships. But as long as people are really prioritizing their own desires over those of other potential mates, they´ll never find it.
The ocean is full of water-and it can provide you with a lot of thrilling adventures and experiences. But the one thing it can´t do is quench your thirst. All drinking the ocean does in that case is make you even more desperate for even a single drop of fresh water. Keep drinking the ocean and eventually, it´ll kill you.
That´s kind of how I look at hook-up culture vs loving relationships. Cheers!
I agree! It was fun for awhile and i dont regret it in the very least, but after some time i felt like i had a void to fill and i knew casual sex wasnt gonna cut it anymore. I'm glad i was honest enough with myself to shift gears when i noticed that in me and started looking for a relationship (which luckily worked for me). Plus relationship sex i just better.
Ok. This maybe unrelated but Emily's videos give me the feeling of a Friday when I'm done with all my school work for the week. A stressful week. Now I'm at my (only) friend's house and we're discussing these topics.

I feel like this video had a more serious undertone than usual and I’d like to say, thanks. This meant a lot to me where I’m in my life right now and was... just generally a relief I guess? It voiced some things I’ve been thinking about for a while
I’m 55. U guys are crazy AF!! I’m still single in Australia and the hookup culture is prolific in every demographic now. I’m struggling to find a proper, deep connection with ANY woman these days! 🤦🏼♂️ It only leads to ruin….
It was really nice seeing you get vulnerable talking about this topic. Personnally hookup culture was nice to me since i didnt have any bad experiences and that i was able to identify when i needed more than just sex. I think ppl should really be introspective about it and ask themselves if they want to partake in such a culture and to what extent. If they already are, they should ask themselves if it's good for them or if it is actually detrimental. Not having sex doesnt make you uncool just as much as having sex doesnt make you cool. It's a thing you do or not because you want to (or not) do it. Also never forget that you can dip out at any given moment of the process. Even if you are naked in the person's bed. If you're feeling more anxious than excited, you should just cancel, try another time, maybe with someone different.
Let it be known that I am THIRSTY for how "ages ago" Emily looked!
“Eww you don’t marry them”..
“WHAT ?!!!! “
I nearly died laughing.
falling in love and having a special emotional connection with just one person is the greatest gift of all time. the hookup culture has taken something beautiful and made it cheep and worthless. i was never part of the hook up culture - i tried to do everything right - but my heart has been broken a few times now and it was for the same reason each time ........... they valued money over love. it really hurt but i eventually realized that many people are incapable of higher level emotion. love is when two people share one soul. i made the decision to continue waiting and i feel ......... like ....... a seed under the frosty winter snow waiting for the warm shining sun of spring. true love is the reward at the end of the journey.
Correction, true love is reward on an end of your journey which is fine. However please don't speak like it is for all. This might not be what you mean but you sounded like you spoke for all.
What do you mean by "they valued money over love" in relation to "hookup culture"?
I hope you're able to find that. It's well worth waiting for- so don't settle for something lesser that isn't worth the trouble and pain.
@@unknown0290 yeah, i think lust is a way better alternative than that
Finally someone speaks about this. I'm tired of being shamed for not wanting to engage in this culture
Analysis from an older person:
For men, hookup culture creates a division in a small group that gets all the sex they desire and a large group that is invisible to women.
For women, hookup culture makes it really hard to find a romantic partner because the men she has sex with have no intention in forming a relationship. Furthermore the best man she hooked up with will become the entry bar to judge a potential partner, resulting in unrealistic expectations making it even harder to find a boyfriend.
Hookup culture only benefits a small group of men and an even smaller group of promiscuous women who don't want a relation. It complicates things for the rest.
💯
I'm dating a girl who really just wanted to hook up. We met on a dating app. Thing is it's gotten to a point where she's in disbelief of how good our relationship is getting because of the idea of hookup culture, because it isn't just touch and go and all that shit. Sometimes you just wanna bang and there ain't nothing wrong with that but the problem comes when people get so used to hookup culture being the norm to the point that actual healthy loving relationships become...well, weird.
I guess the good and bad that I've learned is
Hook up as much as you want, sure. That's fine.
But don't think it's the highest standard you deserve. A loving genuine relationship is still possible even in these fucked up times.
The risk of getting hurt: we don't love that for us, but it's always there
That scene was depressing. Notice I said “SCENE”, it felt like a movie tbh
