Explicit, implied...so many rules.

Hooking up has never been so complicated.

The rules of the casual hook up are extensive. The casual hook up is actually kind of an oxymoron because the more we casually hook up with one person, the less casual it is. Shouldn't it be called the "casual-turned-serious hookup?" Many relationships have formed out of late night hot sessions.

The problem with the casual hook up is that after a certain period of time, we (and by we I'm referring to the female population) begin to assume that we are exclusively hooking up with that one person.

Key word: ASSUME.

Unless two people EXPLICITLY decide to be exclusive (and still casual...), all body parts of other people are up for grabs.

Hooking up with someone else when you are implicitly hooking up with one person exclusively is like texting in the middle of church: you shouldn't do it but in the end, who's gonna punish you?

In other words, ethics, people. Ethics.

There is no lesson here. There's only a conclusion. Hooking up is a tricky, messy game that somehow the smart, the simple, and the stupid alike all get involved in at some point. You've been warned.

Love freely,
