Negative Aspects of “Casual Sex”

Negative Aspects of “Casual Sex”

There are various negative aspects of casual sex. This negative aspects have social and physical consequences. Consequently “casual sex” is of great relevance to the church and their view of celibacy.

Scientific Negative Effects

One negative physical effect , that can cause problems to a person who practice casual sex like the development of an addiction. The Church is not opposed to sex per se, but opposed to recreational sex.

“Orgasm causes a sharp high just like any other drug”- Gert Holstege (Link 2)

“There is a high then a sharp downturn. It is very addictive. To meditates , yogis and mystical Christians it is a crude damaging bliss, that ultimately makes people less blissful. The only true bliss is found in permanent things like meditation, coolness, love etc.” (Link 2)

The church only allows sex for the purpose of reproduction , not as an action to obtain pleasure. It is claimed that the orgasm and sensations you experience during sex; are as harmful and addictive as a drug.

Sex Chemistry

There is a graphical description of the brain chemistry orgasm. This chemistry (according to Holstege) is practically identical to that of the heroin rush. Using this chemistrilyngo, the orgasm, heroin or other powerful opiates cause the brain dopamine to blast or rush.

Men know this experience as a rush of blood to the head and a short blackout.Dopamine is a neural transmitter, so it facilitates thought.

Therefore during the rush the subject feels like they know a lot, are enlightened, or are getting some sort of peak experience (link 2)

So this Peak causes great pleasure but, due to the sudden lack of it, and a hollow sensation, the person will seek to once again attain this rush.

“the problem is with the crash… After the crash , the subject lacks dopamine and gets a semi-replacement for it, prolactin. Prolactin is calming and satiating, but does not inhibit thinking.” (Holstege)

During this period the dopamine is lacking , so the subject may look for another source, ( probably what just gave him his peak) and can, therefore, begin de cycle of addiction.
