What do you Think about Casual Sex?



  • I love it!
  • Ah, those were the days!
  • I have never tried, but would like to.
  • It's not for me, but others can enjoy it.
  • I would never do that!
  • I think less of people who have casual sex.
  • It's playing with fire -- and you will get burnt!
  • I, regretable, have gone there.
  • Other, please explain.

Hi there,

I voted other.

While I'm very happy with my boyfriend now, I have had what might be termed as casual sex in the past. When I was single, I used to have a shag buddy. He was a very good friend of mine I'd known since my first year at university and we got along great. He fancied me like mad, and I was physically drawn to him. So I'd call him up if I was horny, get the train to his house, we'd hang out, have some takeaway and watch parts of a film. At some point we'd get down to it and just shag all night. In the mornings, he'd drop me to the train station and I'd head to work. The sex was really good. And the fact that we were friends made it more comfortable. We just got along.

This went on for almost a year, and it suited me fine. After he and I stopped our agreement (because he was getting too attached, funnily enough), I went to another friend. And he and I carried on until I met the guy before the one I'm seeing now.

I don't feel guilty about this. In my mind, it was better than bringing home random guys and having one-night stands. I much preferred being with someone I trusted and felt safe with. And I have no regrets at all.

Now, I'm with my boyfriend and it's all good!

I voted "Other." I've never had casual sex with a man, but I have gone to bed with a man on the first date thinking that everything was so perfect with him that we would have a long term relationship together (that never happened). I had to choose "other" because I am currently in a casual sex relationship with a friend who is also a woman. Although I'm not a lesbian and have no intention of this relationship becoming anything more than casual, I am having fun exploring something that I always thought would only remain a fantasy of mine. It's casual for her too, so neither of us will get hurt. And we're having a lot of fun that's very erotic and exciting. I wish I had tried this sooner! But I think it has to be with just the right person. ;)

Hi Maria,

Are you also in a current relationship with a man?

Since you are having this casual relationship, do you think it will increase the chances of you having more casual relationships with women? men?

Just curious.

No, I'm not seeing any men right now. This relationship started 2 weeks after I broke up with my boyfriend.

As for future relationships, time will tell. I really don't think I would ever get into a casual relationship with a man, but who knows. I didn't really expect to have a casual relationship (or any sexual relationship) with a woman, but it happened!
