I haven't had sex since the last century, and the way its going its not going to be until the next century when I have sex again....
Reading that 110 million Americans have an STD (that's one third the population), I think the whole random casual sex thing is a whole hella lot more risky that we like to believe.

I don't find it appealing anymore but until recently I was a huge man whore and had hundreds, if not thousands, of partners.
I was always very 'succesful', even though I have mediocre looks and a small dick. I even wrote an article on 'Cruising etiquette' for a local gay magazine.
I don't think casual sex is truly as 'casual' or physical as it seems, there has to be some kind of emotional empathy as well - even if you're doing it with a complete stranger.

I LOVED casual sex...a lot. I had it whenever I had a chance...and I had a lot of chances. I worked in a gay nightclub for 20 years. I think maybe 750 + men...under 1000. I would say 20 of them made me shake with intense passion...another 250 of them were hot as hell and the sexual chemistry was a solid 10/10...another 350 of them were GOOD sex...and the rest...meh...some boring...some misses....a few nightmares ...maybe 20 or so...and that's about it.
I am not sorry about it. I hated that religion and romance novels attempt to define sex and morality for me. I believe that as long as you have two or more consenting adults then it is no one else's business. I also don't find casual sex meaningless. I had great conversations.....friendship...a lot of interesting and fascinating men along the way. I wouldn't change a single thing. I love sex and make no apologies...
Having said that...I will be with my lover for 30 years next September and I am VERY HAPPY! It doesn't compare to anything...he is my soul mate. I would trade a second of the time I have spent with him and we have a great sex life and a powerful emotional and intellectual connection as well. I prefer it to my slut days BUT I don't want to pretend I didn't have a good time when I was a slut...because I did. I never looked for a lover either...it just happened.
My advice...be true to yourself...pay attention to your intuition and instincts...and do not let other people define who you are. If you can do that...you will be ahead of the game.
