No hookups!

December 18 2016

Question: I see (mainly) on vanilla site profiles, things like no one night stands (self explanatory) and also, no hookups. Fair enough in places like eharmony, but even on apps like Tinder it can seem like every second profile says this. For the vanilla world, what does "no hookups" mean? What is generally accepted to be a "hookup"? It is what we would refer to as a fb or fwb? Or something slightly different? Or is it up to interpretation and context? Yes i can google, but I'm interested in the thoughts of members here, and also whether it is used to filter people, even though with the right person they may consider engaging a "hookup" arrangement...

    I would take that as meaning they don't want to meet purely for sex, but a more traditional dating type thing. I don't think vanilla necessarily goes hand in hand with how people want to begin a connection. They might be looking for a relationship, which ultimately won't be vanilla, but want to weed out the fuck me tonight offers 😃

    or they might also be completely vanilla but we can't assume that 😃

    Between the 'vanilla' world and here, not that no one on here is vanilla by the way 😉 If I read 'no hookups' on here I would assume it means they aren't into play meets only type activity. In the vanilla world it tends to mean a range of things from random encounters, to sleeping with someone you know. Example "'Hey I hooked up with Susan when you guys left last night" "What I thought you and Susan were finished with?" "Yeh well we were both horny and decided why not!"

    So you're wanting a boyfriend then? Maybe the vanilla sites might be more suitable, just a thought 😃

    From the word hooker. Self explanatory in the context. Bang and goodnight.

    I would take it to mean either one night stand or ongoing like a FWB. You could still have a connection with that person but neither of you want to be in a relationship. I know as a woman I would be hesitant to meet a guy and straight up have sex. It would take at least one meeting to suss out that its safe, he is a guy I would like , we have a spark etc. So I guess its important to clarify what it means to a person you are chatting too because if a guy thinks he might be "hooking up" and getting sex straight away, the woman might not be on the same page.

    From Summer's comments I gather she has a few lovers and also regularly sees a couple so she isn't exclusive. Just wanting more than someone contacting her every few mths when they are horny for sex (sound familiar) haha Anyway. I call all of that hook ups really. Booty calls and fuck buddies get a bad wrap On this forum. I think all of It's great whether a true friendship develops from a fuck or if you keep it strictly sexual. It's all good isn't it? It is for me anyway. OP, I think it's the mindset which is important to people. They don't want to meet up with pple that only want hookups because they are mentally closed off from other opportunities for something more. I am sure more than half of their meet ups turn into hookups - but at least the original good intention is there. Lots of vanilla people root like rabbits!! Exclusive serial hookups. ;-)

    Hhmm no hookups. If I read that on a profile, I would assume they dont want sex at all. Just my assumption. But it sounds like no hooking up= no sex. Theres lots of profiles that stay active but they are having a break. Or they say they are just here for forums/chat room or events. Thats no hook ups to me as well

    Is one night stands and I don't think it's vanilla at all to seek something ongoing. Aside from my preference for connection I believe if you want to experiment and explore boundaries trust needs to built up over time - something that is harder to do in a once off encounter XX - Posted from rhpmobile

    Only ever meet (first time) on a mutually agreed "no expectations..". Having said that, one or two first meetings have certainly exceeded all expectations :-)

    On "no hookups" would be they are not wanting random, short notice, one night stands. This would be no different to what I would assume the same meant on here if I saw it. I assume there are single guys on other sites too so no doubt the ladies over there would be hit with the same experiences they get here, maybe just the percentage of inappropriate or unwelcomed messages is slightly lower on more vanilla sites??
