What Do You Want Out Of A Relationship?

Historically most people have been looking for a long term partner to eventually marry and have children with. However in 2012 attitudes towards relationships have changed enormously, especially amongst 20 - 30 years old men and women. Many have a much more casual approach to dating and appear to be settling down at an older age.

Our lifestyles are certainly very different two years ago. Our busy careers often don't leave time to meet new people and commit to a long term relationship. It seems our priorities have changed with careers coming first. Our attitudes towards sex have also changed. Many young professionals are engaging in casual sex to fulfil their needs. Whilst they are too busy for a relationship the emphasis has shifted and not wanting a relationship doesn't mean you can't have an active sex life.

There have been other more extreme shifts in society when it comes to sex. Swingers clubs are nothing new and have been around for decades but there is much more openness now from the swingers community. It is much more acceptable now to be part of such a group and the scene is thriving. Couples that are looking for adventure are trying swinging in order to spice up their sex lives. There are a growing number of local swingers clubs and online websites that make it easier than ever to get involved.

There are of course risks that come with such an open and casual attitude towards sex. Sexually transmitted diseases are rising even though awareness is at an all-time high. In such an age protecting yourself from infection is more important than ever. The internet has made sex dating more accessible than ever. In the past it would have been fairly difficult to find casual sex partners but some of the largest adult dating websites have over 20 million members. Users simply create a profile, chat online and meet. Social networking has had a big impact on how open we are. We love making connections online and sharing our interests. One recent poll suggests that up to 25% of Facebook users have at some point had the intention of using the site for sex.
The anonymous nature of online chat rooms, forums and sex dating sites mean that you can make connections without giving too much away until you're ready. Generally they are a safe environment to chat and flirt however there are always exceptions to the rule.

Relationships have certainly changed hugely over the past few decades. With more and more divorces it is obvious that people’s needs have also altered. For many, casual sex is a way of life and fulfils their needs. For fewer and fewer long term relationships are still a top priority. The really adventurous have no hesitation in joining swingers clubs for sexual satisfaction. What do you want out of a relationship? Whatever it is you can be sure that it’s out there. Finding it isn’t always easy but when you do it’s worth the effort.
