Is having sex without a relationship aka a one time thing a Morally wrong thing and if so why ?

Even without rape there can be negative emotions attached but it may be due to an upbringing shaming sex and maybe even other types of trauma or maybe there may be negative feelings if cheating is involved.
I must admit I'm not much of an expert on this due to lack of experience.

They may or may not be mutually exclusive...I had a male acquaintance who bolstered his ego by sleeping with underage girls and married women. He also liked to 'out' the adulterous wives he slept with or so he said.... I asked him, "Why do that to a family?".....He said, "They deserved it."....He was married with four children..

But none of that is really part of "scoring."

And sleeping with underaged girls is sexual assault, not a one night stand between freely consenting participants.

Today is a California dreaming day. And soon it will be the coldest month (or so it seems) of the year. Juneuary. Last year there was no Juneuary. This year looks more like 2,022:




Seattle's numbers of hours at or above 70 F through May 29th over the past few years: 2015: 77 2016: 144 2017: 85 2018: 107 2019: 103 2020: 85 2021: 80 and, (drum roll), 2022: 5

It is wrong if the feelings and expectations of the people involved are not being respected.

Otherwise, I am just not seeing how it could be wrong.

So, it has nothing to do with morals. Well done. :rolleyes:
What's well done, your steak or something?

Who ever claimed that it did have to do with morals? I didn't & it goes to my point about the lack of relevance of morals - except to religious folks.

I think you're attacking a straw man (or perhaps you're confusing me with someone else?); you're trying to fabricate a false portrayal of what I am saying to try to corrupt and to smear my reputation.

Go ahead and keep trying to spin and distort things to attack me, because I actually don't care.

I'm not what matters; the idea of religion trying to control society with its rules of morality (for having sex, or anything else) is what we're actually dealing with, here.

That's lucky. I haven't had consensual sex with anyone else in person but have done some consensual stuff with a few folk virtually and have had some negative emotions. Admittedly tho I do have a history of sexual abuse and after such abuse a lot of victims will sometimes feel gross or awful in future sexual situations even if they are consensual, with a good person, and they enjoyed it. And some the scenes I have done virtually are bdsm related and involve degradation or masochism both which I enjoy but can be dark at times and bring up negative emotions.

So these virtual sex scenes didn't make you feel good ?

I'm using the term, "scoring" to indicate satisfying one's ego rather than satisfying the natural attraction to bond sexually. It would be similar to putting a notch on your belt.
I'm not sure I agree with your definition, but that aside, I still don't see how sexual assault or trying to end a person's marriage would necessarily be part of having sex to satisfy one's ego.

I don't think that having sex to feel better about yourself necessarily means being disrespectful to the person you're having sex with.

I didn't say that. I enjoy them a lot else I wouldn't do them. Just sometimes I do feel negative. Most the time not however. Also emotions can be complicated sometimes I feel multiple at once.

Your second sentence mentions "feeling better about yourself". The individual I described received gratification from what he considered 'conquest'.IMO I knew him from when he was 11 yrs. old. He had a beautiful wife at home while he played his games. The rest of what he told me is just idiosyncratic.
If you only wanted an opinion on a specific jerk you used to know, you could have saved a lot of time by being specific in the first place. You didn't.

Instead, you spoke in generalities that:

- would apply to a range of cases that aren't really bad, and

- didn't really speak to the bad stuff that your jerk did.

I'm not following your logic.......I didn't ask for an opinion..... (paraphrasing) You had asked why a hookup is different from 'scoring'. I tried to point out that some hookups are not for what normally is innocent in that boy meets girl and nature takes its course. The point is, that hookups can be dangerous........You understood that the jerk did bad stuff. You concluded that based on my account. Therefore, I did speak to his bad stuff.......

@9-10ths_Penguin ...In my last post on this thread, I wrote, "I didn't ask for an opinion". The sentence was meant as a statement of fact.It is not meant to be disrespectful.

Posting or replying is the privilege members enjoy. I am familiar with your posting history. You are intelligent and well-informed in my opinion. Criticism can be a path to improvement.

That's fine. I intended to ignore yours.
