The newest topic on our roster with the younger people is the age old question of what exactly is 'hookup culture'? The basic bare bones of what hookup culture is, is that it is a culture based around unemotional hooking up, whether it be a friends with benefits type situation or simply a casual one night stand. There is only one real trait that is allowed in. No strings attached, unemotional. There is something pretty wonderful about that. However, it is a two way street. Let us fill you in from everything how to be single and how to have the most fun. Most importantly, how to not get attached.

Ok, so we are going to give you the rundown on where you need to be to be successful in the hookup culture. There is much more beneath the surface here than what meets the eye. You got nothing to worry about when with us here. We are prepared to fill you in on everything you want. Without further adieux, let's get started.

Hookup culture is the culture that revolves around having fun with no emotions. Something we should all be a fan of. But how do you get involved in the hookup culture? How do you navigate being single? We can help you with that. Let us help you to learn how to be single. Let us guide you through your slut phase. Just follow our steps and follow wherever your body wants to take you. This is a good time for you to put your heart on a shelf and let a different part of your body to the talking.

Solid book and movie, however, it doesn't actually teach you how to be single. There is something so magical about being single. Majority of people don't know how to be truly single. They are single and they mingle, but they can't seem to shy away from the thought of 'you need to be with someone'. Those who are always having this little voice in the back of their mind will never be truly happy being single.

The first step in being truly single and be happy doing it is to accept who you are. If you know that you are the kind of person who needs a relationship, then being truly single isn't in the cards for you. However, if you are the type of person who enjoys being alone, you are already ten steps in the right direction. Sometimes, you just need to let go and enjoy being single.

Losing the thoughts that tell you that you need to have monogamy in your life needs to stop. You need to shut that voice down. That voice isn't helping you at all. This voice is also the same one that tells you that you're fat and that you don't deserve happiness. These voices are your enemy and you need to make like the dragon queen or king you are and silence them You have to let go to be able to see who you truly are. When you embrace your true self, you see who you actually are and what you actually want out of life. This is the most freeing thing you will ever experience.

"The moment I stopped looking for my future husband and just enjoyed being alone, I felt the most alive. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I didn't sleep with a ton of guys, but I enjoyed myself and it was worth it. It helped me realize what I wanted and what I liked. Now I've found someone that I can truly be myself with. That's all the matters in the end."

The next step, once you have learned to silenced that voice, you need to learn how to embrace that sexuality you have been hiding away. Now, don't just sleep with the first person you meet, unless they are Scar Jo or Ryan Gosling, but the chances of that are slim. Play the field a bit, go to some bars and clubs and see what's out there. If you find that you are too busy for that kind of thing, try a dating app. There is no shame in that. We all do it. Tinder is a fun way because it feels more like a game than a dating app. However, winning this game means meeting someone great for a night or two. Doesn't need to be anything serious. It just needs to be fun. We are encouraging you to find someone that will be fun. Find someone online and get your flirt on. Just remember, keep it casual.

There is no need to get to them on a truly deeply personal level. Just focus on the base stuff. Ask them about their job, their hobbies and where they went to school. You don't need to know what their parents do. You don't need to know that their dad left. Focus on the bare essentials of this person. The trick to keeping things casual is to not go on dates, if you choose to meet in public make sure it's a place that neither of you feel like you need to romantic. Meet at a dive bar and grab a drink before heading back out to your place. That is the best way to keep things casual.

We all have those friends who take pity on you because you are single. Like, why aren't you married yet? What is wrong with you that you haven't found someone? These are not the friends you want to party with. If you are going through your hooking up with people stage, you need like-minded friends. Find the friends who love going out, who don't judge. They don't need to be single they just need to be excited to have a good time. There Is nothing worst than going out with a straight up cockblock. No one likes a cockblock at all. These people will ruin your night. So, find yourself some like minded party friends and save your other friends for those garden parties they throw with their spouses.

When it comes to casually hooking up, especially for women, some people will say some unsavory things. They will often slut shame. It's everyone too, not just men who slut shame, women slut shame their own gender all the time. So, here is how you deal with that.

When people start hounding you, or mocking you or calling you names. Just ignore them. They are sad lonely people who probably couldn't get laid if they wanted to. They are just jealous of how comfortable you are and how alive you are. They don't understand that there is nothing wrong with sleeping around. Men do it all the time. However, that is not the point. You don't need to live your life like a man. You need to live your life like you want to. If you want to go out and have a casual one night stand. Do it. As Tupac says 'Only god can judge me.'. Which is true. If you don't believe in God, then you are set.

A part of being happy with you who you are and what you are doing in the hookup culture is to be safe. There is a confidence that comes with knowing that you aren't making bad decisions. Always wear protection with casual hookups and always get checked out every time you get a new partner. There is no judgement if that changes every other month or even more frequently. You just need to be happy with yourself and what you are doing. Plus, this way you will have a less likely chance of getting an STD. Nothing stops the fun more than a herpes outbreak. Not to mention that will ruin a few lives. Be on the safe side. Wrap it up and get checked out often.

On a similar note about being safe. For women, mainly, make sure that someone knows where you are going. Don't get yourself into a situation that could be less than favorable. Bars are ok with letting women in who have certain means of protection on them such as pepper spray. Bouncers at clubs or bars can't take that away from you as it leaves you helpless if something were to happen. If they try to, inform them that they would be leaving you without protection and that it would be on them if something were to happen. Also, it doesn't hurt to know how to defend yourself. While we would love to believe that everyone out there is super nice, that is not the case.

You will get rejected. That is just a fact. Even hot girls get rejected. However, this shouldn't ruin your night. Just because someone doesn't want you doesn't mean no one wants you. You just need to develop a thicker skin when it comes to getting turned down. We have found through trial and error that if you can handle receiving a 'no', you are good to go. The worst thing a person can say is no. If you can take that, you are good. This applies to anything in life. Taking a no and moving on quickly is a great trait to have. You aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea so that is something that you will have to deal with. You can't make everyone happy. Even the prettiest and nicest and best people are turned down. It's something we all have in common.

In no way are we saying that being a slut is bad. In fact, we are saying the complete opposite. Have a slut phase. Whether it's in high school or in college or just whenever. Having a slut phase is healthy. Being single and doing whatever you want is great and good for you. Most men will say that they can't date a girl who at some point didn't go through a slut phase. It's a way of getting a certain something out of your system. This is your chance to live life on your own terms. If you have always wanted to sleep with that hot but stupid idiot in your Tuesday morning psych class, then go for it.

A slut phase is different for everyone. A slut phase could be one or two different one night stands or it can be a long string of them. To each is own. For most people, their slut phase happens in college. Where the hookup culture is the most prominent. You are finally away from home for the first time, you live by yourself, you can drink at bars. This is the perfect place to make some memories. Both men and women should experience having a slut phase.
