A life of Pleasure is a healthy life and there is research to back that up. It seems there is this thing called self-determination theory, which basically says that if you make a choice that feels good, and it is a choice that you freely choose then it leads to more happiness and a healthier life.
On the other hand, if you make choices that don’t feel good or you choose to do things simply because other people want you to, or you feel forced to do them then it can lead to unhappiness, sadness and even to an unhealthy life.
When I choose desires that are fun and adventurous, I feel good, and research backs me up on this. Most people, however, do not choose desires of pleasure or fun or adventure mainly because of guilt or shame or worrying about what others may think of their choices.
Research has constantly shown that consensual sex without commitment done purely for the pleasure of it leads to positive feelings. Sex that you feel guilty about or that is done to try to get someone into a committed relationship or any other ulterior motive leads to negative feelings.
The next time someone tries to shame you because of your adventurous sex life just respond as I have many times… “Feeling pleasure and feeling good is good for my health and Soul, so go fuck off!”
