Opinions on Casual Sex

casual sex is gross.some of my friends are 16 and have done like 20 guys.me on the other hand ive done one guy and messed with one girl both are friends but nothing more.i dont like relationships cuz i have trust issues. but i guess it depends on if a person is ok with doing so many people.i think sex is a personal act that should be with someone that you care alot about/love.

 

As far as I'm concerned, casual sex is fine if both (or all) participants know going in that this is supposed to be a fun, casual encounter. That it's not supposed to "mean anything". If everybody knows this, and can keep their emotions and feelings in check, then I certainly don't have a problem with it.

But this is the same reason that I tend to caution teenagers away from having casual sex. We've all seen (and, for most of us, been!) teenagers whose emotions get the better of them. Flipping out and getting emotional over (what appears to an outsider to be) nothing at all. Sex has a lot of potential for emotional attachment, and given that teens can have trouble keeping their emotions in check, the potential for something going wrong is magnified. As people age, they tend to learn how to deal with and handle their emotions better, and thus will be better equipped to handle the pitfalls of casual sex.

Personally, casual sex is not my cup of tea. I think that I'd end up seeing it as more than mutual spasming of the groinal region and getting feelings and attraction mixed up it in. For that reason, I'd prefer to avoid it.

In principle, casual sex represents a form of liberty, and when seen through the eyeglass of certain philosophical schools, it is a representation of how two people can emotionally detatch from one another and mutually "help each other out".

Then again, that doesn't consider the risks that can be associated with casual sex. Real, physical risks, I mean. STI's and abuse, that sort of thing.

 

I personally wouldn't just have casual sex with anyone, but some people do and like it that way. For example a good friend of mine just likes casual sex. It depends on the person, I guess. As long as people stay safe and it's not taking place behind another partners' back, then I'm not going to lecture him.

 

Casual sex is not my thing, but if the 2 people know what they're getting into, know the risks, know the possible consequences and are properly protected then I see nothing wrong with them having casual sex

 

Personally, I don't want to have casual sex. I need a lot more than, well, sex. I am one of those teenagers who would get attached to their one night stand. It's not healthy for me or anyone else.

If others want to have casual sex and they won't get attached...then well, go ahead. I can't stop you, just make sure you're protected so you don't get a disease or pregnant.

 

It's not something I would do. The thought of sleeping with someone I don't love or even know has no appeal for me at all. If other people want to do it, and they know what they're getting itno, I don't have a problem with that, but it's not for me.

 

I think it's ew.

 

I don't think i could have casual sex. I would prefer to have sex with someone i knew for a few years or months but as long they are doing it safe and right im fine with it. my line is use it before you lose it

 

I used to think it didn't matter. I said in another post somewhere that i used to daydream about going out to vegas and being a stripper or prostitute. (Loverly huh?) That was all when i was a virgin. A very young, rebellious, virgin. But now that i'm madly in love with the guy i believe to be my soul mate, I can't imagine even being with another person. The whole thought of sex with another person pretty much disgusts me. He's the only one i can imagine myself with. I'm really glad i ended up saving myself for him. Casual sex isn't something that i think people should do. People should save themselves for the person they are commited to. Virginity is kinda like a gift showing that person how much you love them. That you trust them enough not to laugh at you when you fumble through the first few times. Its something that happens between two people. Casual...just doesn't cut it for me. Sex needs to be meaningful.

 

I think casual sex is awesome. Thats it.

 

It's not my thing. If the people are being safe and know it's nothing serious, then I'm okay with them doing so. I don't think it's my place to judge though.

 

It's not for me, but I think that it shouldn't even matter. If people want to have sex, then let them, like almost any other animal would (I'm not sure how many species of animals are actually monogamous). If people want to be sexually monogamous, then that's perfectly fine, since I would assume that sex is better with someone special. As long as people are safe and remain unattached, then I really don't see a problem.
