Hooking up with someone once, twice, or very sporadically doesn’t have anywhere near the profound effect as hooking up with said person frequently.

When you are frequently hooking up with someone, it makes it that much harder for you to develop an emotional bond and physical attraction for the others that you are looking to date.

On the surface, hooking up with this guy seems to make sense.

Since you aren’t in a committed relationship and still have sexual needs, you get to use this guy to satisfy those sexual needs while you go about dating other guys in the quest to find a potential long-term partner.

The problem with this approach is that you are setting yourself up to become incapable of developing an emotional bond with any of the men you are going out on dates with, irrespective of how well you get along with any one of them.

When a woman has sex with a man and orgasms, she releases a combination of hormones and neurotransmitters.

Oxytocin is a bonding hormone that propagates feelings of deep trust, emotional attachment, and closeness.

Dopamine creates intense pleasure and motivates a desire to repeat the sexual experience.

Endorphins act as a mood lifter and pain reliever.

Prolactin reduces stress and instigates relaxation and physical calmness.

All of these chemical reactions occur within you whenever you hook up with this man.

This compromises you both physically and emotionally, making it that much harder for you to connect with any of the men you go out on dates with, regardless of how good the dates and conversations are with these men.

The reality is, you could come back from what seemed like a successful date with one of these men, only to receive a text message from the guy who hooks up with you asking whether you want to be physically intimate.

In less than an hour, he is in your apartment, and you are having raucous, heart-pounding sex that results in multiple orgasms enjoyed by both parties.

All of a sudden, any emotional effect you experienced from the date you just had a few hours before is completely gone and replaced with all of the powerful chemical reactions your body and mind go through whenever you sleep with the guy who hooks up with you.

This is the constant problem you are going to be dealing with when you play a dangerous game of regularly hooking up with a guy while juggling other men as dating options.

Irrespective of how good a date or conversation you have with any one of them on a given day or week, it will always be overshadowed by the physical intimacy you experience with the man you are hooking up with when you both meet in person during the course of that day or week.

Thanks to powerful neurotransmitters, this is a tug of war that continuously weakens or nullifies any chance you develop an emotional bond or sexual desire for any of the men you are going out on dates with.
