About this episode
With the rise of dating apps, it seems more common to have sex without being in love. Sex for sex's sake, promises to be mindless and commitment-free. In short: pleasure without the risk of pain, but this might not be the whole story.
Experts suggest that this trend reflects a deeper change in society. The separation of sex from love and emotional attachment is part of a broader societal shift towards consumerism and individual pleasure.
Why are people tempted by a quick fling? Is it even possible to detach your body from your feelings? So, by cutting ourselves off from feelings, do we deprive ourselves of some of the pleasure? Should we be wary of this kind of behavior? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
