Why I Want Casual Sex These Days

When I was younger, I used to just always daydream about having a boyfriend. I thought having a boyfriend would be the best thing on the planet. I used to almost obsess about how I could make him commit, or how I'd be sure he wanted me, and etc.

I'm single atm, and happy about it. If I do decide to hookup, then I want to try everything. I never, ever thought that I'd say anything like that, but I'm sick of holding back.

Why I Want Casual Sex These Days

I've posted on here before how I want to do oral only hookups, and I probably will, but that doesn't mean I won't have regular sex. I've also posted about how I expect hookup sex to suck for me since the guy won't know what I like or how my body works, like how a boyfriend would.

But then I talked to people about it more. In my case, I'd want to hookup sober or at least not be more than buzzed. The people I talked to about it inspired me though. I like how free casual sex can be, and not having to be so serious. Like no stress, or less stress...

I want to see if I can get a guy who doesn't really care about me to do what I want. Like would he just do whatever I asked? Slow sex, stop and start sex, oral, etc. I want to see how far I can go, like how easy it is. Does the sex have to be shitty, or not? Will he lie about doing x, y, or z for me or not?

If I ask to hang out after, or after fucking on the first date, would he say yes? I want to experience what it's like getting a basically random guy to interact with me like this. Instead of always pushing for a regular relationship, I want to see what it's like to be more free with people.

So the people I talked to convinced me that I should give this a shot. I don't believe I can make things or sex perfect with a relationship anymore. I want to see how much fun I can have without that instead.

  • It sounds like you want to control a guy to pleasure you, but not bond. Sounds like you want the drugs of sex, without any of the heart pain, or risk of loss in relationship and love. So you don't want any attachment. Your brain is just wired a a certain way... not saying it is bad, but not sure where this leaves you. We attach for reasons of survival, acceptance, etc.. (historically I think). We are all different, not judging, but is this really... good for you?

    Honestly, if you aren't in LA/California, you should go there (from what I've read)... lots of players and I'm sure you can find guys like this as well as "experimental" relationships.

    I'm shocked you aren't into illicit drugs or prostitution... in the 60's people would take drugs to heighten sensitivity. Its a bad idea IMHO as they impact the body. Prostitutes make a lot of $ if was legal.. they did in the 1940's! I mean, if going to have sex with no bonding, why not get paid and control the scenario? where is it legal?

    Mating with people who don't care about you... that just doesn't sound right. Like you want to be used, or you want to use them. It sounds like the attachment part of your brain is not working... shut down, under developed? Are you attached to anyone or anything? I've been studying the brain/mind a bit, but I don't get it fully. Just realize you are wanting what you want for some reasons.

    • Why would I be into drugs or any of that?

    • Because it sounds like you are looking for "heightened" sensation and experience in how I read what you wrote. I recall hearing about... I think it was LSD... how it enhances the experience and sensations. I'm not saying you should try that, I don't take drugs, don't need them or want them and they just cause other problems. But in that era, I think some people were thinking the same way and went that direction. maybe i misread it and you are exploring "non relationship" pleasures... like if it is better not having any relationship.. to avoid the pain, work, disappointment, etc..

    • I want to have fun, but nah I hate all drugs.

  • I won't ever agree that casual sex is a good thing.. In fantasy everything seems perfect but in reality it isn't. Sex control isn't 100% safe and with a stranger you never know if he has any STDs. That's not anxiety-free. There is a chance you won't be compatible as you mentioned. And if you do enjoy yourself, it's still meaningless since there is just lust and no love. Nor is there a chance to start a relationship with the person you had casual sex with, because he's not gonna take you seriously.

    • Condoms are mostly safe so you're wrong if you're that worried about something happening then don't step outside ever because you can get into a car accident anything can happen

    • And also I would never be in a relationship with a girl who sleeps around having casual sex... That's a no no!!!

    • @Brah63926 1% chance of failure is a small percentage for a person who doesn't have sex often. If one is hypothetically having sex 300 times per year, that's 3 chances to happen. In 5 years, it's 15 chances..

  • I look forward to your analysis afterward, and if all good, I hope more people try it out. I'm all for a more sexually liberal society.

  • Gotta enjoy life and what makes you happy.

  • Open relationships FTW. Causal sex for excitement and variety, still someone to come home to.

    • You implying cheating?

    • @JustCallMeLeon Cheating: engaging in sexual acts without the knowledge and/or consent of your committed partner. It's not cheating if they know it's going on and are okay with it. It was also his idea; he wanted to open the relationship.

    • Oh. In the case ok. Whatever works for you people. :)

  • Best of luck! Be safe. Not trying to lecture you at all, but maybe one or two friends with benefits would be best bc you'd have less chance of catching a disease and you could hopefully trust the person more.

  • why not just casually date. no commitment no stress. you can see many people at once but you know them enough so its not a complete stranger?

  • So basically... you just want to experiment and for some reason you feel the need to justify experimenting to a gathering of online personas. Alrighty. Good on you OP.

    • No justifying at all. It sounds like you want to hate, but arguing with you... like why would I.

    • You don't have to. There's nothing to argue. It is what it is.

  • Overall I think your plan has some merit. I see a couple issues:

    1. It's difficult to judge whether someone will be good in bed.
    The best lovers are often the ones you would least expect. If you are talking 1 night stands: How many 1 night stands are you willing to go through for each good one? ***

    2. Are you able to ensure these guys wear condoms? Some guys throw a fit. (Which is a sign to steer clear of them.)

    ____
    It sounds like you want to separate the sex from the relationship to feel more liberated. I. e. you have no relationship to lose and can do anything you want.

    As a guy I think this is a rather intelligent approach in some ways. I believe sexual compatibility is more important than many people realize. Sexual compatibility can also be gauged pretty quickly by including open communication.

    Since getting in a relationship is not your priority, it sounds like you are exploring and confidence building. However don't be afraid to mix in some guys you are more likely to be compatible with. (I. e. not all hunks. ) They may surprise you.

    *** I recently read a book that suggested that guys that talk well, dance well, etc are better in bed. I find that to be total B. S.

  • Just be careful who you try this with. There's some shady mofos out there who can fuc up your brain because they just play with you for your body and as a sex toy. Unless you want that. Also, you might start resenting men if you get your feelings involved accidentally with the wrong casual. I don't know if girls can just be sexual without getting their feelings involved, but, it would probably be a good experiment and you'd probably find out a lot about what type of boyfriend you want eventually from experiencing different personalities and bedroom etiquette. I had a hate on for women and a miss trust because of being burned and not understanding why girls act in "x" sort of way in "y" situations. But then I stepped back from relationships and just hung around women for a bit and had really good friends who were women (and still do). It's funny, I was never trying to hit on them, but after awhile it was like I was a goto for them for sexual release or something. Like I got with one just from comfort and casual things, then maybe they talked or whatever amongst themselves, and then the next thing I was asked if I could go with her friend because she's lonely or she's been eyeing me for she's horny or whatever. This was pretty cool and really interesting to me since it seemed kind of effortless on my part. I was just in a casual frame of mind without pressure maybe for them. No expectations, no commitment issues, no hangups and I was probably looked upon as a trusted friend or something. I don't know, just speculating. But I did get to know a lot more about how women act and think and feel and respond. I also started to actually like and care for women and respected all the shit you girls go through. But I can spot honesty a mile away more easily from women or spot the bullshit as well.

    But, we are all human, and I think we should all take a step back at trying to find a relationship, and actually start understanding each other and accept differences and that we are all human. Then relationships will just naturally happen.

    • "I don't know if girls can just be sexual without getting their feelings involved" ^^ Some can, some can't. Lots of boys can't, either.

    • Those women who can have casual sex have mental disorder regardless of whether they catch feelings from it or not.

    • Yeah there can be some dangerous guys... but I feel like most abuse and toxic stuff happens in relationships, especially the longterm ones. Otherwise how does it usually happen for years on end...

  • Nice take.

  • I disagree. Sex isn't everything in this life, but it's important and it can make a profound impact on your mood and your outlook. When you causally sleep around there are normal stresses like STDS and pregnancy that can affect your mood, but there's also this emptiness of sharing something really personal and yet leaving with nothing but a memory. You can go ahead and have sex casually all you want, but I just think you're really romanticizing causal sex.

    • Sex is everything or you wouldn't be Alive

    • @Brah63926 sex isn't everything in a life. Do you obsess over oxygen as much as you obsess over sex? Or food? Or water? Does it consume your thoughts? Not unless you're starving or run out of air. But people obsess over sex like they need to to live. They don't realize that it's an emotional and physical practice whether you'd like it to be or not.

    Have fun...

    ... just don't expect any attractive guy to commit to you when you finish riding the cock carousel.

  • You do you girl.. you do you! Nice Take

  • A few of my friends have had casual sex before and it tends to not end that well... The encounter will go fine, the sex is generally good to great, but then my friends themselves won't feel too positive about it. They still go for casual sex, but there seems to be some kind of residual... bad feelings afterwards. Fun in the moment, not so much fun after.

    • This is so true. I've always been commitment-phobic, and preferred to stick to friends with benefits, which worked out great for a while - I had no relationship worrries and I was free roam in my weakness for players and bad boys without the threat of being hurt. I thought I had it all exactly how I wanted and I did at the time. I've kind of "retired" from the dating world since my daughter came along - The whole 'bit too guarded plus single parent thing isn't very appealing to guys, and whilst it doesn't really matter and I am happy in general, it makes me sad to think I'll probably never know what it's feel like to have a guy truly care about me & vice versa, and/or that i'll never have the chance to change my mind about relationships. It's not then end of the world, but it's something I think about late at night sometimes.

    • I agree with this, in college being mostly a hookup culture, a lot of females I had casual sex with slowly either developed feelings for me which led to bad blood between us because I wasn't interested in relationships, or it led to them feeling empty and turning from casual sex to a total downer just making everything negative after the fact, a lot of these females still get screwed mentally by players or bad guys who know the game and play it well, your average joe can in no way compete with a dude who knows what makes a woman click etc so it effects them because a lot of the times these are the dudes that are approaching them. Besides that I'm done with casual sex myself after having a scare with stds through oral sex, thankfully I did not have any, but after that I stopped casual sex all together and am now very particular about who I date because of not only stds which are spreading rapidly but also because of the fear of getting a female pregnant.

  • I had a friends with benefits and it was lovely it started turning into a little more than that later, but for me I'd have to at least know them some and be some kinda friend to them. I don't think im built for a straight up hookup lol

  • Just always wear a condom, have the pill, and I would want to know if people have stds, aids, etc peoples medical history. Having an std doesn't just have to be on the dick.

  • I suppose kudos to you. If I were your friend I'd encourage you to be free and all but you'd be off my dating list. Not that it matters to you, but just sayin'.

    • Why would she be off ur dating list?

    • @Ragini I don't want girls who engage in casual sex this way.

  • I'm kind of at that point, too.

  • That's cool and all but you're basically implying you'll try different dicks until one finds you good enough to hit you up the next day. Isn't the right way to start a relationship in my opinion.

  • I don't understand the need for you to keep writing about this tbh? Just go ahead with it if that"s what you want. If you don't then don't.

    I personally dislike this hookup culture but it's your body and life, I just think there is something wrong mentally with people that do that.

    Especially girls. Women bond over sex. Casual sex, unless you got mental issues/ or are that rare rare exception that just extremely loves sex in all its facets, will be not very rewarding.

    • Sounds like this really bothers you. I'm an influencer/editor, have to keep posting weekly haha. Love sharing ideas anyway.

    • It doesn't bother me exactly, I wanted to respond. Exactly since you are an influencer/ editor shouldn't you post quality over quantity?

    • And I do.
