Why does sex seem to be just a commodity these days?

Each to their own I say.

Casual sex is not for me, but that does not mean it is not what someone else enjoys.

As long as no-one is hurt, emotionally or physically, and contraception is dealt with, then I do not think it is my place to judge. It may not be for me, but that is irrelevant really.

I think that people just have to do what is 'right' for them, with no judgement either way.

Because they enjoy it and consenting adults can do what they want.

I mean… I wouldn’t have sex with someone on a first date but I don’t see what’s wrong with it.

why do you think it is wrong op?

Sex is a big deal to some people (including myself) but not to others. Either view is perfectly ok.

It's because women don't get menus with no prices anymore.

Because believe it or not, when you have sex, it does not have to be 'giving part of yourself' to someone. That is in fact a commodity and very outdated.

Viewing it as a very normal and fun part of adult relationships, in all their forms, is very different.

Women can in fact enjoy these adult things these days, it isn't something we 'submit' to men anymore. It's absolutely fine to just have fun with another person and that be that. No rings, no dowry, just fun.

Also speaks to your character that you claim it 'isn't a criticism' to label someone as cheap. That's very cheap judgemental behaviour in my opinion.

I guess, different people want different things.

Some people want hearts and flowers, others want the physical enjoyment and release of sex without an ongoing relationship.

As to being 'cheaper' - sex isn't a commodity. Unless you are selling it of course. In which case it is. I don't know whether the going rate is cheaper than it was or not though.

I guess it depends if you view sex as something divine and precious and almost sacred which is reserved for people you care about or you view it as only a bit of fun and hot and exciting with whoever you're around to enjoy it with
