Do people have sex to people they’re not attracted to?
I(F25) met this guy (M32) two weeks ago. We’ve hung out twice, and we kissed the second time. Objectively, I can tell he’s not unattractive, but I don’t think I’m actually attracted to him. Beyond the physical side, I also don’t feel much chemistry or connection, he’s just not really my type.
At the same time, it’s been two years since I’ve had sex, and I’ve only been with two people before, so I don’t really know how casual sex is supposed to feel. Part of me wonders if it’s okay to sleep with someone even if the chemistry isn’t there, just because I want the experience or physical intimacy.
I also wonder whether it’s actually safer emotionally to have casual sex with someone I don’t really like, since if I genuinely liked someone, there’s a chance I’d catch feelings. But then I question whether having sex with someone I’m not even attracted to is a bad idea in the first place.
