\"5-Myths-about-Casual-Sex\"If you\u2019ve been curious about exploring your options when it comes to casual sex<\/a>, you\u2019re not alone. It\u2019s growing more socially acceptable by the minute, as more men and women alike are embracing the concept. If you\u2019re still hung up on puritanical beliefs surrounding sex dating, it could be that you\u2019ve bought into a lot of outdated myths surrounding sex outside of a committed relationship. Let\u2019s clear those up once and for all so that you can get on with enjoying casual sex without the misplaced guilt.<\/p>\n

1. Only Assholes Have Casual Sex with Women Outside of Committed Relationships<\/b> \u2013 False. It is way more of an asshole move to get into a committed relationship with someone when you\u2019re not ready for one or just because you want to have sex with the girl. Tiger Woods<\/a>. Need I say more? Being upfront about the fact that you really just want to have some fun in bed isn\u2019t being a jerk, it\u2019s being honest. It gives the woman a chance to make an informed decision, so she can decide whether or not she wants that, too. If it isn\u2019t what she\u2019s looking for, she can move on without getting hurt. If it is what she\u2019s looking for it, she\u2019s an adult capable of making decisions and you should trust that she knows what she wants. It would be insulting to presume she was being taken advantage of when she wants casual sex, too.<\/p>\n

2. Casual Sex Leads to STDs<\/b> \u2013 Only if you\u2019re stupid about it. Unprotected sex spreads disease, and that can happen in any kind of sexual relationship, casual sex or otherwise<\/span>. Lots of people have contracted STDs from unprotected sex in what they thought were monogamous relationships. Use a condom each and every time and get tested regularly. While there are no guarantees in life, if you do those two things, your chances of catching and spreading STDs<\/a> will remain low.<\/p>\n

3. Only Nasty, Slutty Girls Have Casual Sex<\/b> \u2013 Oh please. This isn\u2019t 1954, although you wouldn\u2019t know it by the way some people talk about women who have casual sex<\/span>. A woman who engages in casual sex does not automatically equate with a woman who will have sex with anything that moves. Plenty of thoughtful, intelligent, and discerning women enjoy the benefits of casual sex. Women aren\u2019t different creatures who should be held to different standards than the guys. Let go of the double standard, or you\u2019ll miss out on connecting with some really cool women.<\/p>\n

4. Casual Sex is Meaningless and Will Leave You Feeling Empty and Unfulfilled<\/b> \u2013 It can be, but then again, so can sex within the confines of a committed relationship. Casual sex can be as meaningless or as meaningful as the two people engaging in the act decide that it should be. Sometimes the meaning is simply making each other feel good, and that in and of itself can be meaningful enough in a mutually beneficial hookup.<\/p>\n
