I’m a pretty liberal person and I believe in people doing what’s right for them. I don’t think it’s immoral to sleep with a lot of people, but I do think that if that is where most of a person’s intimacy comes from, there is probably a deeper problem. I’ve had my share of casual encounters, some of it bad, some of it amazing. What I’ve learned is that sex is far superior when it’s with someone I care deeply about, especially if we have an established relationship, are comfortable with each other, and know each other’s likes and dislikes.
I think casual sex can be okay, but it depends on certain factors, like if the people are mature and honest and emotionally stable. Otherwise, the situation will wind up hurting someone, making them feel bad, whatever.
Lastly, I think these days it is pretty unwise to sleep around willy-nilly. There are a lot of communicable diseases, some of which are incurable or potentially life-threatening. I personally would not even go around kissing random people.. more than 60% of the American population has herpes. According to the CDC, “Most people with herpes have no symptoms and are unaware of their infection.” Several STDs can be present with no symptoms and are still transmissible.
Also, as a public service message, I would like to pass along some information that shocked me when I learned of it: HPV CAN BE TRANSMITTED THROUGH CONDOMS. The virus is so small that it passes through the latex barrier of a condom.
