casual sex is a meaningless way to describe something unless it is describing the amount of sex one is having. if you mean emotionless, purely physical sex...such a thing doesn't and will never exist. purely physical sex can never happen because it would be the definition of selfishness...plus it would be comically embarrassing. by this I mean, it would entail not caring at all about how the other person feels amidst the act. furthermore, speaking as a 22 year old heterosexual male...masturbation has always been the better alternative to emotionless sex...there is no girl on the planet that knows how to get me off better than I do and, logically, I'm sure the same can be said about nearly everyone else - man or woman. so, the idea of casual sex without the force of emotion behind it seems rather pathetic and shallow and I say this with experience...unfortunately.
sex is hugely emotional no matter what people say and for the groups that say it isn't and say that "casual" or emotionless sex can be had, either don't know how they feel on the matter or are lying to themselves - and this IS a judgement, as I have been apart of this. for people that claim that the sex they have is purely physical and emotionless tend to not verbalize what its impact is in their life and, most always, is a way to deal with other emotional stresses about other relationships or lack thereof or other forms of social alienation and/or confusion. it may also be an ego thing but that is also linked to the previous sentence. having sex solely to JUST have sex is kind of impossible. also, one will invariably hear the statement that "humans are animals and need to spread their seed" and so forth, however applying this to our sexual behaviour is a hugely erroneous analogy and when you think about this and the idea of what differentiates our species from others, such a thing to say comes off as wildly idiotic and just plain bizarre.
I should state now that you should have sex whenever:
you feel you are ready to do so
you know ALL the risks involved
you know how it will affect your social surroundings
you are with someone you care about
and/or
you know how BOTH of you feel about the matter
if you're old enough to want to have sex and know what a relationship is, you are, in essence, making an unspoken agreement when you enter into a sexual/or more regular relationship that things MOST LIKELY will never go your way and you will either ruin whatever relationship you had or deservedly become "the bad guy" or get your heart broken or wind up together happily.
Ultimately, in this ridiculously pretentious post, turning to "casual sex" is not always the answer and most probably means you are missing something important in your life. one can have all the "casual sex" they want, just don't confuse it with something that is necessarily a thing to be proud of because its kind of lame once you know what sex in the RIGHT romantic relationship backed up by intense feelings is like. "casual sex" is like watching porn and romantic sex is like having the sex that every horny, adolescent sex-crazed, teenage-virgin dreams of having - you know, the dreamy good stuff :)
I want to refrain from saying "what make a man a man..." because it sounds kinda lame, so I'll say what makes a good partner a good partner is being able to satisfy all your partner's physical and sexual desires and to always be supportive and true to them because emotions and sex are WAY more linked than one would think.
a drunken one night stand or even a sober fuck fest with someone you don't know emotionally is pathetic when you could be having awesome athletic sex with someone you love or deeply care for and are able to look deeply into their eyes and hold them close when they come ...such a sight and feeling is much more fulfilling and beautiful than masturbation and infinitely better than "casual sex" and also much harder to achieve.
