I have thought about this topic for a while but was never exactly sure what kind of opinion I had on it. I always knew that I wasn't the kind of girl to go for these types of relationships but a lot of my acquaintances were in relationships like these.
I know many feminist women believe that by having sex with many men that they are 'in control' of their destinies. I would beg to differ. Women who don't have sex with men on the first date (or lots of men) can usually have any man they want. Men like to chase for things that they can’t have instantly.
I have sort of deviated a little from the initial topic. Moving on, what I would say about 'modern casual' relationships is that they don't benefit women in any way and abstractly they don't benefit men either.
It is pretty obvious why they don't benefit women. The reason for this is that typically, unless you are Samantha from Sex and The City, women become attached to men during sex. Therefore a woman can never have meaningless sex and usually want their casual relations to turn into something more. They never will.
For men the benefit of these relationships is to have meaningless sex and not suffer the consequences of if they were committed. Abstractly casual relations can be negative for men. The reason for this is attachment. We discussed this in the previous paragraph. Women can become obsessed with the man after an encounter. This can create all sorts of nuisances from a male perspective.
It is best to steer clear of these relationships. They might be thrilling for a minute but at the end of the day you will just be branded a slut or a bastard.
