The rise of adult dating overall has been a really positive thing for the entire population. Those that have embraced it and found it is for them are much happier for it. Those that haven’t (or are oblivious to it) still get to be surrounded by people who are happier for having a life where they are hooking up with people on a regular basis. Everyone wins from the situation, there is no downside here. </p> <p>When hooking up with people, you may be someone that is keen to try different things. A little bit like flavours of ice cream, how do you know that chocolate is your favourite if you have never tried the vanilla flavour? The only way is to try different things so that you have a point of comparison. The same principle can be applied to all areas of your life. How do you know you like the company you work for if you have never worked for a different one? How do you know you like the area you live in if that is the only place that you have ever lived? How do you know that the girl or guy that you are with is the one for you if you have only ever been with that one person? You don’t, so the only way to find out is by trying different things out and, in the case of dating, trying out being with different people. </p> <p>One way of really changing the flavour is by being with someone who is from a different country. When you are raised in a different country, with a different language and different value system, you have the biggest chance of being fundamentally different. This can bring with it a range of advantages and open up new experience and ways of thinking. I advise you to think about dating someone from a different country primarily for this reason. You may find that hooking up with someone from a different jurisdiction really changes the dynamic. Maybe they are from a country where they are naturally stiffer and more repressed. This gives you the chance to lead in the bedroom and open their eyes to the possibilities therein. Perhaps they are raised in a liberal culture. Sit back and enjoy the ride as they teach you a thing or two!</p> <p>Regardless of which way it is, there is always fun to be had (and a growth experience) from hooking up with different people with diverse backgrounds. I highly recommend it!</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image-alignment field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Lead image alignment:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Full</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/tags/why-hook" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">why hook up</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/blog/tags/hook-advice" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">hook up advice</a></div></div></div> Fri, 29 Jul 2022 23:32:17 +0000 ed 1816 at https://hookups.co.uk Hooking up with a foreign fuck buddy is the best way to learn a new language https://hookups.co.uk/blog/hooking-foreign-fuck-buddy-best-way-learn-new-language <div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" class="img-responsive" src="https://hookups.co.uk/sites/hookups.co.uk/files/styles/large/public/images/blog/foreign-hook-ups-min.jpg?itok=40fvpsmL" width="480" height="306" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Welcome to hookups, the website where we help like minded adults meet each other for, well, hooking up! There are so many reasons to hook up, and a lot of benefits from doing so. It is good for the body as sex is a physical activity. It burns calories, raises your heart rate, and when done right can work nearly all the muscles in the body! Sex is also good for the mind. It releases happy hormones into the body which help the mental wellbeing of the person having sex. It also can being boosts to self-esteem and improve one’s self body image. Sex is great and there are a lot of reasons to hook up. In this article I would like to talk about hooking up with a foreign fuck buddy, not just for the joy of sleeping with someone from a different country than you, but also because it is the best way to learn a new language. </p> <p>Learning a new language can be really hard. There is new grammar to have to handle, new orders in which to place the words, sometimes new letters that did not exist in your native language. You start out by knowing none of the vocabulary. Speaking in a new language for the first time can make you feel like a child again! You have to take baby steps, it can be hard! One way of making it better… hook up with someone who is a native speaker of that language. </p> <p>Scientific studies have prove that we learn faster when we are happy. Our memory retention is greater when we learn things in a happy, relaxed state whilst enjoying the process. What better, more enjoyable process could there be than having sex with a hook up? The phrase “pillow talk” is a well known one. If that pillow talk is in a different language, you will find you pick it up faster and easier than sitting in some boring classroom! Having a hook up speak sexy to you in that other language will help you learn the vocabulary and retain it than any other process. You also have the benefit of not having to make time to learn it, you will naturally start learning during the seduction process!</p> <p>Watch out, the language you learn to start with might not be suitable for the office or professional environments, but you will learn fast and have fucking fun doing so!</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image-alignment field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Lead image alignment:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Full</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/tags/sex-abroad" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">sex abroad</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/blog/tags/why-hook" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">why hook up</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/tags/advantages-hooking" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">advantages of hooking up</a></div></div></div> Sun, 24 Oct 2021 23:01:46 +0000 ed 1807 at https://hookups.co.uk How a hook up can lead you to unexpected places https://hookups.co.uk/blog/how-hook-can-lead-you-unexpected-places <div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" class="img-responsive" src="https://hookups.co.uk/sites/hookups.co.uk/files/styles/large/public/images/blog/adventure_girl.jpg?itok=jhhOfkV5" width="320" height="480" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>In a traditional relationship, you would get together with one person, then have to be with that same person for the rest of your life… well that was the theory in any case. This meant that you had to be quite careful with your choice of partner. If you got it wrong, you would be stuck with it. This meant that most people had to be a little risk averse when it came to who you chose to hook up with. There was no room to explore. If you hooked up with the wrong person, you would then be stuck with them. You could not afford to take sexual chances or risks. This is just not the case anymore. </p> <p>With adult dating, this is just not the case anymore. It is perfectly acceptable to get together with someone for just one night, for a few nights, or even to set up a long term no string attached relationship with someone. None of these have to be monogamous. This means that you can afford to take risks and hook up with someone that you are unsure of, and this can lead you to very interesting places in the bedroom.</p> <p>Not everyone had the same sexual tastes. Different people like different things, and by hooking up with different people you can find yourself exploring sexual areas that you would never usually explore. If you hook up with someone who is into being blindfolded, you will find yourself getting to play with what it is like to be in charge of someone deprived of their sight in bed. If you hook up with someone who is into a little rope play, who likes being tied up or restrained now and then, you will have the chance to be the one doing the tying up. You will get to explore binding and restraining them until you are in the completely dominant position. Even if it turns out to not be something that you are into long term, you will learn a lot about being dominant and leading when doing this.</p> <p>Perhaps you are usually the dominant and leading individual in a sexual encounter. If you hook up with someone who likes to be in charge, who is used to leading, you might find yourself in the unexpected position of being told what to do, or lying back and being taken in the bedroom when you are usually the one doing the taking. You might find that you really like this! OR perhaps you prefer to be the one leading, and even if that is the case, you will still have had the unusual experience of getting to be on the other side of it.</p> <p>Hooking up with different people is a great way to explore different sexual flavours. So enjoy hooking up and seeing what is out there.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image-alignment field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Lead image alignment:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Full</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/tags/why-hook" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">why hook up</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/blog/tags/exploring-sex" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">exploring sex</a></div></div></div> Mon, 10 Jun 2019 23:08:51 +0000 ed 1779 at https://hookups.co.uk Hook up, because the best relationships start with sex https://hookups.co.uk/blog/hook-because-best-relationships-start-sex <div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" class="img-responsive" src="https://hookups.co.uk/sites/hookups.co.uk/files/styles/large/public/images/blog/hookupnow.jpeg?itok=zAX3Y32z" width="480" height="348" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>All relationships start somewhere. The initial meeting predominantly begins online these days, though they can also start in a bar, at a party, a random hook up, or even walking down the street where you bump into someone. They usually then progress to something else… and if you fancy the person this can often be a number of dates, dinners, outings and other courting activities in order to form a connection and relationship. Many relationships do start casually in this way… but I am here to argue that the best relationships start with sex at a very early point. Keep reading and I will tell you why starting with a hookup is the best way to start a relationship.</p> <p>Long term relationships are all about compromise. The only way to make them last is for both parties to give a little, because no two people agree about everything all of the time. It simply does not happen that way. You compromise on Holidays, or where you go to have dinner, or when you have two events clash which one you go to. All of these compromises are acceptable in a way, because you can always make up for them. If you did not go on the holiday of choice with your partner, that is okay, maybe you can make up for it and go with your mates instead. If you didn’t go to the place for dinner this time, you go another time. If you could not attend your good friends birthday you can always make it up to them by taking them somewhere else for an evening. You can not do this with sex.</p> <p>My big argument why early sex is important, is there is no option of making it up elsewhere. Let us say you began in a slower to sex way. You did 5-6 dinner dates called, texted, and by the time you had sex you were emotionally committed to the other person. You have sex… and it is a giant fail. It is just not that great. They are not into the same thing in the bedroom as you. Now it is too late. You have to ask yourself, are you really willing to give up this kind, lovely person with whom you have spent loads of time and energy? Or are you going to compromise on the sex? Many people compromise on the sex… and then you are screwed. If you are in a monogamous relationship, you can not make it up elsewhere. You can nor just go and sleep with your mates or throw money at it. You are now stuck with someone with whom the sex sucks. The longer you are together the harder it would be to leave.</p> <p>Nip this issue in the bud! If you sleep with someone by hooking up with them early, then you can find out if you are sexually compatible. If you are not, you say goodbye with no hard feelings and move on before the hypnosis of love kicks in. Having a sequence of fuck buddies is a great way to get to a girlfriend!</p> <p>So start with a hook up, for your own sake.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image-alignment field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Lead image alignment:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Full</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/tags/why-hook" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">why hook up</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/blog/tags/finding-hook" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">finding a hook up</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/tags/hook-now" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">hook up now</a></div></div></div> Thu, 09 May 2019 16:06:21 +0000 ed 1778 at https://hookups.co.uk Hook up now, for there is no bad time to hook up https://hookups.co.uk/blog/hook-now-there-no-bad-time-hook <div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" class="img-responsive" src="https://hookups.co.uk/sites/hookups.co.uk/files/styles/large/public/images/blog/sexnow.jpg?itok=x_iXloNL" width="480" height="480" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>There is no bad time to hook up. There are easier times to hook up than others for sure, when you are in a club most people are there in order to hook up for a one night stand or a fuck buddy type of relationship, that is the nature of the place. This means that it is easier to find a hook up sheerly because there are more people there looking for the same thing as you. That being said, there is no bad time to do it. Finding a hook up at work is harder than in a club because people are there for a very different purpose. They are there to make money, not to have sex. That being said, everyone wants to have sex, at all times. I am not saying that they want to get laid to the same degree, but the desire still remains there. When someone doesn’t want to have sex, what they actually mean is that their desire level is at such a low level that they really don’t feel like it, despite what they are saying the actual desire has not been extinguished. Everyone wants to have sex, it is hardcoded into us, we cannot remove ourselves from this.</p> <p>This is why having a friends with benefits on hand for an easy hook up is such a positive thing. When you want to have sex, you know that you have the opportunity to do so with as little effort as possible. It is a little like keeping a pizza in the freezer, when you get hungry, you know you can eat something that you really like! It is a smart thing to do.</p> <p>When an opportunity to hook up presents itself, there is often a little voice inside your head that will give you all the reasons why now is not a good time, why you should not grasp the opportunity to have sex. It tells you that you have misread the signs, that they don’t really want to sleep with you, that you are supposed to be doing something else, that it is not important, that you don’t want to have sex with this person… it will come up with countless excuses that are all driven by fear.</p> <p>Remember, there is no bad time to hook up. If you meet someone that wants to sleep with you, grasp that opportunity with both hands. You will be doing both of</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image-alignment field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Lead image alignment:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Full</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/tags/hook-now" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">hook up now</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/blog/tags/why-hook" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">why hook up</a></div></div></div> Fri, 07 Sep 2018 12:12:01 +0000 ed 1768 at https://hookups.co.uk Hooking up is an end in itself https://hookups.co.uk/blog/hooking-end-itself <div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" class="img-responsive" src="https://hookups.co.uk/sites/hookups.co.uk/files/styles/large/public/images/blog/hook-up12.jpg?itok=xr0xr_IY" width="400" height="400" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>We are brought up largely being told that hooking up is a bad thing. This comes from all sorts of places. We have certain religions telling us that sex outside of marriage is wrong, and that one should wait until they have found their “one” before having sex. We have the status of being a “virgin” as one that is raised up as having a special status, and one that once lost can never be regained. We have slut-shaming as an attitude, where a girl will be put down for sleeping around even if she really hasn’t slept with that many people. Society is geared up to tell you that you should not be hooking up with people just for fun, that you need a better stronger reason that the desire for sex if you want to hookup with someone. I am here to tell you otherwise. </p> <p>You do not need any reason to hook up with someone, other than the desire to hook up with someone in the first place. Meeting someone and having sex is an end in itself. As a society, we are becoming more and more goal and output focused. If I do X then will I get Y? Less and less do we do things simply to be able to enjoy doing them for their own sake. Yet what is life, of not the journey itself? If we are just focused on the end, we should go ahead and kill ourselves now, because the “end” of it all is death! Why not fast-forward?</p> <p>When we watch a film, we don’t watch the ending only for that would defeat the enjoyment of the film. We want to experience the whole film, to be taken on the journey that the story provides. We enjoy and experience the journey, the destination (the ended) is only a small part of it. Music is another great example. Orchestras do not play symphonies as fast possible rushing to the end, they play them in a paced manner so we can enjoy them. So too should be our lives, and our sex lives in particular. Having a hook up for no other reason than to hook up should be the only reason needed. There should be no further justification required, and we should not have other sources telling us in any way that this is wrong.</p> <p>So if you want to hookup, do it. If you want to, then for you it is the right thing to do.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image-alignment field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Lead image alignment:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Full</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/tags/why-hook" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">why hook up</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/blog/tags/sex-healthy" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">sex is healthy</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/tags/hook-now" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">hook up now</a></div></div></div> Fri, 15 Jun 2018 08:25:18 +0000 ed 1761 at https://hookups.co.uk Hook ups are healthy https://hookups.co.uk/blog/hook-ups-are-healthy <div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" class="img-responsive" src="https://hookups.co.uk/sites/hookups.co.uk/files/styles/large/public/images/blog/hp-healthy.png?itok=SWZDv5YK" width="480" height="216" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>For a long time here in the UK, we didn't like to talk about sex. The phrase “no sex please we're British” is one that has been kicking around for decades. Luckily for us, things have really changed over the last 20 years. Admittedly, the movement did start in the 60s. I wasn't alive back then to comment, but I can say things today are much better than they used to be. Not only are we talking more openly about sex, having sex more freely and more easily, the science and the research behind sex has developed to the point where we now know that sex is healthy for us in all sorts of ways. And this article I'd like to propose that hooking up is healthy. </p> <h2>It is a great work out</h2> <p>Getting more and regular exercise is something that would benefit everyone. We spend most of our time in front of computers, leading sedentary lifestyles, and this has lead to obesity in the UK to rise dramatically. Anything that increases the amount of exercise and movement that we get is a good thing. Sex is an amazing workout. When you hook up with someone and end up in the bedroom, you'll end up with one of the best workouts of your week. Sex takes up a tremendous amount of energy, uses a whole host of muscles throughout the whole body, and it is a huge calorie burning exercise. Sex is brilliant for you physically, and is something that can genuinely replace regular gym visits if you do it enough.</p> <h2>Sex gives you happy hormones</h2> <p>When you have sex you release a whole host of hormones in the body. This includes hormones that make you happier. If one of the major goals of life is to be happy, the and everyone should be having more sex. This is not a debate, this is fact. If you have sex you release a whole bunch of hormones that physically make you happy. You can't help it, it is not a choice, it just happens. Hookups make you happier.</p> <h2>Hookups are great for your self esteem</h2> <p>Self-esteem is so important to our lives. The feeling of self worth, being confident, lacking in insecurities, these are all things that sit at the core of our happiness levels. When you hook up with somebody, that person has said that they like you and want you. There is nothing better for the ego and having someone want you physically and in your entirety. This ego stroking exercise does an excellent job to boost your self-esteem, and reinforce yourself sense of self worth.</p> <p>So if you need an overall happiness life boost, go out and find yourself a hookup. I guarantee it will make you happier.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog-lead-image-alignment field-type-list-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Lead image alignment:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Full</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/tags/sex-healthy" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">sex is healthy</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/blog/tags/why-hook" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">why hook up</a></div></div></div> Tue, 19 Sep 2017 18:17:20 +0000 ed 1747 at https://hookups.co.uk
