Okay, so we've had a few discussions on this very subject in the past, but it's been a while since out last one, so thought it a good time to bring it up again, along with some questions.
This stems from an article (several actually) in the newspaper today. There were two articles, one about a group of (I think ten) people, involved in some television show that were doing the show for sun, sea and sex. The second article was about a place in Crete, where there was an interview (or something) with some of the medical staff at various resorts. One doctor (or staff member) said how, during the summer, they easily give out 200+ morning after pills a day to people that come in asking for them after they've had a wild night out. 200 people per day? Seems seriously irresponsible.
Not to stereotype here, but I've taken into account that this is a gaming forum, and I think it's fair to say that most people here aren't necessarily the ones who are out and about, sleeping with a different person every other weekend. That's just a general observation; one that I could easily be wrong on.
There are obviously different people in today's world; each with their own view on the subject of sex. Some people wait until marriage, some people only have sex within relationships, some people will have sex with whoever they can, whenever they can. It's a modern world, and the opinions on the subject are vast. Some countries are very open with the topic, whilst others are very closed. In the modern world though, and in most countries that have members here, I'd say the general outlook on sex and sexual activity is a lot more publicised than it used to be, this is, in part, down to the media.
Now, whilst I can't ever rule out the probability of having a one night stand, my view on the subject is to keep such activities within a relationship. There are various reasons for that which I can share later if needs be. I should note here (for those that aren't aware of it; I'm sure some are) but (at 24) I've still yet to have a girlfriend or sex. The idea of having a one night stand (or several of them) doesn't really appeal to me right now, though I'd be lying if I said I didn't want a relationship.
I'm curious though, as to everyone else here. For those of you that are, alike me ~ are you looking for a relationship, or are you more than willing to sleep around, only you can't quite seem to get any interest? For those of you that sleep around, is that because you wish to do so, or because you can't hold a relationship down? I'd ask those who are in relationships, but for the most part, if you're in a relationship, it's probably because that is where you want to be. That being said, when you're not in a relationship, what are you like then?
I think there is no right or wrong in these matters (well except for fringe cases like pedophilia, bestiality etc.). You have to figure it out for yourself (that's the fun part) and I'd say that in many cases the perspective changes with time.
Now let's see, where can I book a flight to Crete...
If people want to sleep around that's their business. I might feel it's a bit foolish of them if they're not willing to have an abortion afterwards but -shrug- that's got more to do with their decision whether or not to breed than it has to do with their decision to have sex.
As for myself? No - I don't sleep around. Sex is very much a take it or leave it thing with me. There are better things I could be doing with my time. Then again I can't really be bothered with relationships either, I enjoy my own company and see no reason I'd want to have to take account of the needs and wants of some hanger-on.
I don't care about other people's sex practices, but if you sleep around and don't take proper precautions, don't cry when you get pregnant or an STD.
As for me, I don't find hooking up appealing at all. It's just not for me. Literally all of my sex fantasies involve romance. Since, I am a serious romantic.
But, I am also that way about any kind of physical contact. I don't find makeout-hookups attractive either.
Go out and have fun. If things go wrong rememberer that you have no one to blame but yourself. Don't expect me or anyone else to bail you out of your self made problems. If other people cast judgement on you for your actions you have no one to blame but your self. If you don't want other people to judge you then you need either keep your sexual adventures more of a secret or you need to be more discerning with your choice and number of partners.
I take chances as they come, but I prefer classy over trashy.
How's that line go? I told her I only wanted a blowjob, and she replied, no problem, I only wanted a taste.
Casual sex is a good thing, sometimes, other times no. Especially so if you're some kind of romantic. In so far as life experiences go, it's up there on the list for best things to do.
Almost all human experiences, are vacuous, so why not have some fun with it. Just be smart and safe about it. Lest you end up leaving sooner than you planned, or having a litter of bastards.
Donnie Darko had it right with his discussion about smurfs.

Crete's a holiday destination, and people on holiday like to have fun, and sex is generally pretty fun. There is nothing wrong with this at all, for either sex (gender).
