Sex is casual when you are with people that you don’t plan to commit to.

• If it’s casual sex for you, make sure the other person knows.
• If you want a relationship, but the other person just wants casual sex, be careful. If you hope it will develop into something more, you could be very disappointed, even hurt. Casual sex is rarely a good substitute for strong emotional feelings and affection.
• Casual sex, just like any sexual activity, requires protection from STIs and pregnancy.
