One more time, with feeling!

Yet despite the purportedly casual nature of the hookup, it isn’t an emotional get out of jail free card. The promise of intimacy without emotional consequence is frequently a lie. All sorts of neurochemical things go on during sex, and I worry that anybody who can fully shrug that all off has lost touch with some critical bit of human vulnerability. People inadvertently bond physically and emotionally. Do you think ripping those bonds apart won’t hurt?
