Why people prioritize sexual relationships over emotional ones

With shallow 'I love yous' and broken trusts, people nowadays are more inclined towards sexual relations. Now people are more interested in satisfying their body and physical needs while putting love in the backseat. Running away from commitments and fear of rejection are few such causes that people have based their approach to love on. Now, it is far easier to get intimate with a person, without any emotional baggage. And so, we bring to you a few reasons why people prioritize sexual relationships over emotional ones.

1.Lack of emotional bond

While growing up, some people might face a lack of emotional bonds within the family or with friends. Foundation years are significant while shaping the personality of a youngster. There can be chances of having weak friendships leading to being alone and lonely. This leads them to resent opening up in front of anybody emotionally and mentally.

2.Partner’s preferences

It takes two to tango. If a person isn’t interested in any kind of emotional or committed relationship, their partner has only two choices. First, to leave, and second, staying in a sexual relationship hoping it may change into something more. Your partner’s preference may be based on past experience or situations in life.

3.Acceptance of pre-marital sex

There aren’t many rules and regulations to have sex. In fact, it is widely accepted that pre-marital sex is alright. People consider this an opportunity not to take any responsibility while enjoying the perks of a relationship entirely. They aren’t required to commit, and they also get the freedom to be several partners at a time.

4.Why choose one?

Commitment and the emotional relationship have only two people in them. However, not sexual relations, people now think being with just one person is boring, so they prefer sexual relationships over love. A lot many options seems more inviting.

5.Commitment takes time

On a positive note, people first get to know each other fully then commit to a better future now. Explorations, now are a priority before commitments. It is very important to know exactly what you want before settling. And you wouldn’t know if you don’t try and explore.

6.Is there trust in “us”?

Well, these days we hardly trust anyone except our families. Emotional relationships are based on trust and compassion. Having trust issues may underline the past traumatic relationship or other mental health problems.
