Meeting people you don't know for sex

[Sportslady44]

In light of the recent Grindr killing case and also the rise in dating and hook up apps. I wondered this.

Why do people meet people they have no idea who they are, worse still they agree to go to their house for sex.

Its highly dangerous whether your lesbian, bi, gay etc.

Aren't people to scared? Straight back to their house etc on the first meet!!

The risk doesn’t reduce just because you’ve met them 3 times before going back to their home, as has been said it actually increases.
What’s wrong with wanting to have no strings sex?

My friend quite happily meets random men for sex

Women who put themselves in predictable danger aren't supposed to, no. Whether the judgement on them is really worse than on risk-taking men - I think it is but I don't know. If I had been unlucky with my dice rolling on casual sex, I would have left an already bereaved 15 year old without a parent. Looking back it does seem fairly nuts and I wouldn't blame people for judging me tbh, not for the sex but for neglecting my responsibilities. In fact the closest I have come to death since losing dh was cycling to work one day when someone opened a van door into my path.

It's absolutely a risk. People decide what risks they want to take. I wouldn't do it myself

Look, you could get killed by a frozen block of piss falling from an aeroplane toilet. Your workplace could catch fire. It might rain hammers.

It is not possible to remove all risk from life (even if you are the sort of snivelling shit who stays in your little room all the time and scolds those who don't, you're still going to die.) Everyone makes decisions, all the time, about which risks are worth taking. For quite a lot of women, the reward of casual sex is worth the (lower than most people think, anyway) risk. The incessant scaremongering about the dangers facing women who want to enjoy themselves ie seek sex without commitment, go out alone, have a few drinks etc is all about puritanism and patriarchy.

Absolutely this @Wreath21

The chances they just want sex must be 100s or 1000s of times higher than the chance of them being a serial killer. But the nice man you've met up with 4 times in public already could also just be a patient serial killer.
