Gen Z Finds Out Hook Up Culture Sucks

[@harrisonwillmoth5037]

Virginity isn't a curse, it's a blessing that reminds you that intimacy isn't eternity.

[@lawrencecastle2777]

You’d be surprised how many Christians would think and even argue it’s a curse

[@emilyagape888]

Well in The Bible it says that to whomever a person consummates with they are ETERNALLY BOUND together in spirit so…. Which is the entire reason God Designed The SACRED Covenant and unity of marriage which is to be shared between 1 man and 1 woman (2 souls) sharing their lives together as ONE always and forevermore amen…. #Marriage #Family #Love #Life #PERIOD 💖🙏💫 #God’sWay 💕

i struggle to find words to explain how destructive hookup culture and pornography are for men and women. i am so thankful that Gen Z is waking up and recovering ❤️

[@akinoluolusina]

At the end of the day, no one can cheat God. He told us beforehand that anyone who joins themselves with a prostitute (any partner you're not married to in this case) has become one flesh with him/her. Yet we flipped it and let it be that instead of bondage we get freedom. The devil lied and we believed it and it's caused pain and hurt. But thank God that he delivers

[@Allin1Xavi]

I’m 20 and I never understood hookup culture and always had a feeling of repulse by it. I wish dating can be like how it was decades ago where it simply meant taking someone to go to a carnival or the movies and drop them off at their parents’ house and things gradually build up through time. Now you got the media spreading things like “Netflix and chill” or “nut and go” and the backwards mindset of getting physical with someone before having an emotion connection. It’s honestly depressing to me

[@bobafrost7366]

Now just to get it out of schools. I have a whole list of videos and book titles parents are fighting to get out of schools that school boards are suddenly allowing. Whether it’s straight porn or gay porn, it’s got 0 education value and needs to go (the books I’m referring to are not sex-Ed). Purely pleasure and inappropriate. They used to be marked as 18+. It’s crazy to me what’s happening. What happened to M-Mature ratings???

I thank you for this. As a married woman, I find much more fulfillment in marriage than "committed relationships," before I came to Christ. Hookup culture is so detrimental because it can lead to broken families and fighting exes and attachments that are hard to let go of and risks STIs. There's so much risk that God wants to keep us from. He knows what's best and requires this for our good.

[@lucifernazaedi]

It is so spectacular that the science being discovered about how we bond with our romantic partner- our forever “person”- lines up perfectly with God’s will for us and how He created us, humans, to be. We are made to be a monogamous “species” with one mate for the rest of our lives, all shown by the very chemicals of our brain. But you do not need to take a biology class to understand that sleeping around is destructive.

[@MechaMeister6511]

I’ve always saw something wrong with hook up culture. My parents have been committed to each other from day one. Before their marriage and continuing to now. Likewise with my grandparents, tias, tío’s, etc. Always viewed relationship as being you and your future husband/wife. My mind was clouded by pornography for a while, clouding my judgement till college where I saw how this wasn’t what God wanted for me or any of us. I’m 4 days clean thanks to the Lord, I’m becoming better for His sake and there’s a person who’s caught my eye and I want to overcome it for her. But not just her, my primary reason is Him because He didn’t and doesn’t want that for me, and wants me to be more for my future wife. Hook up culture simply demeans both sexed as nothing more than sex objects and nothing less.

[@Beanie1879]

People think that sleeping around with others seems simple on paper. Simple on paper doesnt mean simple in practice. There's a ton of complicated emotions and conditions attached with love & intimacy. Of course people arent realizing everything there is to know about love because they want what looks "fast & easy", rather building something beautiful and respectful for eachother.

Because the fact is, hooking up was fun. It felt good...at that moment. But it always left me with nothing but emptiness the next day, when I was once again alone in my apartment.

I guess my whole world view was severely tainted.

Great video. Hooking up leaves you lonely in the end. People are not realizing what’s meaningful in the end. Hook up casual practices are bigger than a personal choice. It’s become an expectation now as it’s grossly rampant. Men and women stopped having respect for their bodies and giving themselves away like its no big deal. I’m in my 40s and single. It’s so sad that most men expect the hookup and casual mind. So yes, it’s bigger than do you. It adversely affects the social norms of what a relationship means. Not to mention the various illnesses transmitted is pretty bad. Pornography is also to blame for this mindset just as much.

[@holeymcsockpuppet]

No. It's women that have done that. Only 10% of men get to participate. 50% of men aged 28 are virgins. The average number of partners for a woman at that age is 25...twenty-five. This is a one-sided problem. There's nothing that the average guy can do but give up on love and find purpose through contribution...which is what we are doing.

[@sonofhibbs4425]

My own thoughts on hook up culture- the lie that gets people to do it is that one can have the satisfaction of pleasure of sex without the hard work and mess of intimacy. People are also looking for God in an orgasm.

[@sirclassicalhou3650]

Absolutely. Hook up culture is a destructive trend that should be recognized for the lie that it is. Sex is a gift from God, but we are not to misuse it, otherwise there are consequences which many younger people are thankfully, starting to recognize.

[@AlaskaWild]

Let’s not forget the Bible says that the two become one when they have sex. That means they intertwine spirits. Those demons and spirits get passed on to you from the other person. That can destroy your life.

Definetly. I hope they realize that this is indeed cancer to relationships. I got a friend who is really dear to me who tough he knew my Christian ethics regarding to sex, he thought I would agree with him when he asked: "But sex is no big deal man, just an act between 2 ppl. U agree with that, right? "Couldn't disagree more, no way. If that was true than why is it such an abomination to force this 'no big deal' upon someone to a point there's a name for that, and is a heinous crime that traumatized the victims?" He stopped, thought a little and said: "Dude ya got a point there, I admit it. But the thing is that when I was a virgin, I saw sex as this biiiig deal and after that I was like 'meh, no big deal'". What I found interesting in this conversation is that he pretty much proved why the easiness to have sex these days makes it not a big deal indeed. So in a sense he's 100% right. ANYTHING you can get your hands on easily becomes "no big deal". Although he's against casual sex he has a girlfriend, so to him it was far easier than it used to be when ppl had to wait for marriage bc there was no contraceptive, wich made it far more rewarding

This actually goes with the ideology of evolution since we are just here instinct makes us want to have sex and they say my life doesn't matter so I can just sleep with whoever want too.

Why go to college if there is no purpose and no truth?

[@RoyDontHugMeImScared]

Why not?

[@mrupholsteryman]

@Kaylee Prince which church? Granted a lot have decided to go with the popular opinion of the forced pressures of our gov't that wants to keep their "power" over the people and remain the "savior" instead of Jesus....

[@mrupholsteryman]

@@RoyDontHugMeImScared I get it that some places require a college education before they hire you in order to see that you can process information and stick to a program...but I have also seen a few folks that can't get work in their field of study or they are over qualified for jobs they are willing to take just to get bills paid... I went to school a LOT later in life and it was for a purpose to get a degree to shoot people....with radiation. Radiological mercenary if you will... But nowadays where people have to be addressed by what they feel they identify as based on a crazy understanding of gender and how all the science and education can be snuffed out if I address someone wrongly based on their fluid gender for the moment....makes for a challenging time.... But that is another topic that people don't like to discuss often.....like when I'm told not to discuss politics and religion at work...cuz they lead to arguments.... if I ignore the gov't...do they ignore my paycheck? 😅🤣😂 Or take the equal opportunity employment thing... sure... I may get hired...but soon afterwards you become the slave of the workplace...and while they might be willing to not discriminate to get you on board...and they want to have you keep your personal life outside of the workplace.....even IF I potentially offend someone while OFF the clock... you are still theirs and can still be fired for not representing THEM well even in your personal life. Too much stuff gets thrown into the category of ....if you don't have anything nice to say...don't say it...and while people that know the truth say nothing...plenty of other voices are willing to have their own opinions and just being nice doesn't fix anything long term....sorry for the long rant. Haha! Just happened to check my phone while drinking too much water and now.....going back to bed. 😇🙏💪

[@mrupholsteryman]

@Kaylee Prince not every church is bad...but we can't put our trust and faith in any other Person than Jesus as He is the Redeemer (as He is the Perfect sacrifice) and only He has asked for the forgiveness of those acting even in ignorance. Forgiveness is available for you. Have you received this yet?

I'm part of Generation Z I'm 21 I've never dated never been a relationship with a girl it sucks I've hated being a virgin and hate not having a girlfriend for most of my life it was because of my autism I was homeschooled for many years even when I went to school I didn't do much did everything went class and I couldn't go places on like my parents or my sister does to meet people and even when I became a Christian there really was no option for me not to mention with covid as well I'm still a virgin and still doesn't even know what it feels like to kiss a girl it's horrible I hate it I hate my autism I would do anything to get free from this and restart my life

[@isaiahvoss]

I felt the same and I have Autism but I felt that girls were only interested in me for a short bit and they depart from me. I had that happened with these two sisters I met who say they're Christians but they didn't act out love on me through Christ. But I had to stop looking for relationships so i told myself to let God bring me a woman in my life and abide God's command. I never kissed a girl on the lips but I have to stop dreaming about that and I wasted most of my life for that moment.

[@isaiahvoss]

​@Joshua Cline I've overcame most of my Autism but I know now at a bible study that people do love me through Christ and I have more joy and fulfillment in my life but there's so much to work on. Well said brother.

[@Username-ld7ho]

Well, I don’t know about this. I’m almost 23. Never been into a relationship as well. I went to public school all my life. But I was too confused to actually go and do something. Also very self conscious about my body. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having kids. These were all things that I put on a pedestal. If I would get that, all of my problems would be solved. Do I still want those things, yes. But I understand that even if something happens, like I die or never marry, I’m still going to praise God. I would recommend to read Corinthians. Especially 1 Corinthians 7. I had to understand that marriage is not the end goal. There are so many other things that God has for us. We just have to put ourselves out there so that God could use us as vessels. In terms of autism, I have a friend that has autism as well. But that doesn’t stop him from going and talking to people. He was homeschooled too. And he has better luck with gurls than even me. You have to start treating people like sons and daughters of God. Go talk to them like you would to any other person. You don’t have to put them on a pedestal. Make them look like, a “prize”. God bless you man. I know that it’s hard. A lot of times I still think about it. But then I keep my eyes on the end goal and choose to look at Christ. Either that be the bible, or going to a bible study, or a youth night. Happiness is not guaranteed anywhere in the bible. But Joy is. And it’s better than happiness. Happiness goes away. Joy doesn’t if it is in Christ.

The only reason why men still do it more than women. Cuz of the influence of manosphere and red pill dating. I’m officially out of the manosphere. I am done with controlling men.

[@crfstewarje]

I feel like hook up culture is the equivalent of Satan whispering into the ears of people and asking, "Did God really say, to save sex for marriage?" Satan definitely plays with deceit, by trying to get people to question God and make Him out to be stingy. However, God knows what is best for us, which is why he is so adamant about fleeing from sexual immorality. With that said, God can forgive anyone who sleeps around - that is exactly what Jesus died on the cross for. But that doesn't give us a license to sin - instead, turn away!

The devil has sold us this "no big deal" lie and has used it to afflict this generation. Fornication and promiscuity is sin and just like all sin it leads to death which can realise itself in many ways. Death is the system working in this world that causes depression, disaster, retardation, failure, hardships and all these things that came as result of sin entering into the world and maturing. That's why we need salvation,to break out of the cycle and be free to live above sin and death as a system. When we believe the lies the devil tells, sin thrives and becomes norm and we draw farther away from the almighty God. Satan loves this I pray this friend of yours finds salvation
