Casual sex

[Princess_Dee]

I try to rationalize casual sex as I see the appeal of emotionless, purely physically gratifying sex. I tell myself that I do not judge those that do sleep around.

But then I always think about my future spouse.
(Because I just assume the question would come up at some point.)

Spouse: "So I have been romantically involved with 68 people."
Me: "........."

Or if the roles were reversed. It just leaves me with an uncomfortable feeling.

I suppose I do not deem casual sex socially unacceptable; it is just not something I would choose for myself.

I generally have zero respect for people that do that, as I find they frequently have little respect for their own bodies either.

To each, their own, but I have very little interest in spending time with people like that.

Agreed, to a lesser extent. I feel sorry for those people, ignoring their own instincts (and souls, if you're religious) and treating themselves as a dildo.

Excuse me, Ignoring "Instincts". Do you even know what those are?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I don't mind other people doing it (provided everyone is single), but I personally wouldn't unless I was pretty desperate. I've had plenty of one-night stands, but I've never had sex with someone twice that I wasn't in a relationship with.

Have as MUCH sex as you can. Its fun. Its ultra satisfying. Just do it safe and fuck your life away. People take everything way to seriously.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I'd never do it myself but I don't see anything ultimately wrong with it if both sides consent. Just remember people, you're responsible for your little friends.

Off Topic: Don't you just love it when someone has posted the exact same thing you were going to say thus saving you the trouble of taking the time to post your thought and saving space in the forum by not posting the same thing? It really is a beautiful thing.

It's called being ninja'd. Welcome to the forum .

Spoiler: The Escapist motivated me to make a picture just for it.

Feel free to use it XD

"Hey! Try not to suck any dick on the way through the parking lot!"

To the OP:
Honestly, I see no problem with casual sex, but sex among friends has to be handled carefully. It is fairly common for these situations to blow up due to one-sided attachments and jealousy. But if your group can get around that landmine, more power to you.

Seriously how is wanting and having sex frequently a bad/dirty/noxious thing to your body?
It's as natural as it can get, if it's our way to reproduce why should it be so damn bad?

I don't get you, honestly no offense though

 

[B-Rye]

I'm sorry, I had to.

Anyway, I think it has it's up and down. Who knows, maybe your friend has some diseases he/she never knew about. So having sex Willy-Nilly can be pretty messy.

Tell me you did not intend to make a pun. Just kidding.

Back on topic, my opinion essentially is if both parties are amenable to the situation then go for it. Just lay down ground rules from the get go (i.e. one-time thing, on-going, what is and is not off limits). Usually keeps things from becoming awkward. Definitely make sure you both are on the same level about it.

All in all, one's stance on the issue of casual sex is going to be determined by your own ethical and moral code. As such, there is no right or wrong answer.

Why do you refer to yourself as a 'Female'? It's called 'Woman', or 'Girl' when applied to humans. You are human I take it? *nyan*

I did not refer to myself as "a female" but "female". There's a difference

 

[Denamic]

My ex was bisexual and highly... well, she was basically a pervert.
Whenever we were together, we'd screw til dawn, literally.
And when we had to resume our long distance relationship, we went back to being in an 'open relationship'.
Meaning we were still together, sort of, but we could screw around as much as we wanted.
I never got around to, but she did, and I didn't really mind as she was still faithful in a way.
We were going to move in together.
She's dead now though.
Fuck leukemia.

Myself? Not too hot on it. I'm an emotional wreck as it is, I think casual sex might drive me totally insane.

However, I'm far from judging other people over it. People wanna have sex, how the nuts is that my business? Go right ahead.
Those people who frown on it need to realise that it isn't their place to tell other people how to conduct their lives in that area.

However, if you are going to do it, shut up about it. I don't want you dumping all your self-made problems on me. You knew full well what you were getting into.

I'm with this guy. How do you reason when you say that wanting to enjoy sex is immoral or shows lack of self respect, or respect for ones own body? That shit makes no sense at all!

 

[Terminate421]

I think it's just logical thinking. Everyone(with few exceptions of course) likes sex, and if two people on good terms want to have sex but aren't looking for a serious or necessarily lasting relationship... what's the problem?

So long as the people know that they are not spreading AIDS or Warts. I'm with you.

Also, I may be catholic but I don't find sex as "Holy" or "Unholy" as the church claims. Only in the case of marriage is sex involved with the church.

Forgive me, but there isn't. You still used the word 'Female'. That said, I hope you found a favourable answer in the rest of my post.

I don't think I could do it. It'd kill me. I'd fall in love with her, who is expecting it to be all casual.

 

[sheah1]

Well there are some people I'm sexually attracted to but don't have deep enough feelings towards to justify a relationship, so if they felt the same, then yeah, I'd definitely be their FWB. Also, I'd be Mila Kuniz' FWB every day of every year.

As much as I 100% agree with what you said, the OP asked for 'opinions' on the topic of casual sex so both sides of the spectrum are going to be heard with equal ground. telling them to be quiet because their opinion doesn't suit our own is not the way to approach this thread.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

As long as everybody involved knows the score, then I don't see a problem with it.

Well, maybe.
I guess I just think that there is such a thing as a bad opinion.
If I posted a thread asking for opinions on Hitler's actions throughout his life, you wouldn't say that his supporters had valid opinions, would you?
Yes, it's a far stronger example, but the principle scales, no?
