ok, so why is casual sex such a big deal?
when a guy goes out sleeping with several girls, he gets a good reputation, his mates think he is 'cool' and give him the respect he thinks he deserves. however, with a female, the 'casual sex' doesn't shine very well, and girls get 'reputations'. why is this????? why is it that girls are supposed to wait for 'serious' relationships beofre having sex, when obvious the guys would be incapable of having it without the girl, duh.

ah well,moaning over, whadya think guys???

I don't know anybody who would think like that. You must move in some very nasty little cliques.

God - that sounded rather nasty. Sorry, Playgirl.

No, playgirl is correct, Many years ago I shamelessly took advantage of a girlfriend (ie a friend who was female) and ended up sleeping with her. We parted still on good terms, but sometime later I learnt she really wanted to continue a casual thing going with me on a "just for fun" basis and didn't go for it because of the view others may have, including me.

We kissed and made up - and then some

Kadu

no offence taken hon, i ain't that kind of gal. i think that society has all thesee xpectations about realtionships, and sex and marriage, and although i'm not THE keenest person on the casual sex lark (although i wouldn't say it would never happen), i hate the way you would feel about people finding out, and the things u'd be scared of people thinking about you

Just to play Devil's Advocate for a moment - do you think it's society's expectations of love and marriage that are getting you down, or your own?
