Attitudes toward and Experiences with Casual Sex: A Survey

Wow. Just wow. I did nothing of the sort. I asked Antinor01 if his upcoming marriage to his longtime SO is, as it appeared to be by his post, going to be an open marriage. And, surprise!, it is!! I just wanted to be sure I was reading his post correctly. As far as “virginity males”, dude, it was a joke in the theme of the OP in response to your post claiming you felt this thread had taken the opposite tone of that of “Promiscuity Males”. What IS the opposite of a “promiscuity male” if not a “virginity male”? Would you have felt better if I had said “Celibacy Males”? :dubious:

ETA: If you feel the need to continue this, do everyone a favor and do it through PM.

Non-promiscuous males.

It’s rather disingenuous of you to ask questions in public, then declare the hijack over or to continue in private.

Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Relationship Status: Single
**Age: ** 31
Location: Hampton Roads, Virginia, U.S.
Experiences: No experience with casual sex. Still 1/3 of a virgin. (The important part). All sexual activity (what little there has been) has thus far been reserved for committed partner.
**Attitude in regard to self: ** I would not engage in casual sex. I was taught to save myself for marriage, and I tend to alternate between being ashamed that I did anything with that long-ago girlfriend, and being fond of the memory. In any event, if I’m having sex, it’s with someone with whom I have a long-term relationship.
Attitude in regard to others: I find one-night stands very morally questionable, but I don’t assume that just because one feels differently, they’re a bad person. If you’re looking for a one-night stand with me, look elsewhere. (Not that women react to me in that manner anyway).

This came off as a little more bitter than I meant it to.

Ooh, the begging I like… :smiley:

**Age: **37

Experiences: none
**Attitude in regard to self: ** If I had sex it would likely be part of a committed relationship. I’m not a spontaneous kind of person in any other respect so I can’t see myself acting any differently regarding sex.

Gender: (Self-explanatory) For most of you folks, it’s self-explanatory, perhaps. Genderqueer, subtype Gender Invert. (Male girl, essentially). No dysphoria (I’m not in the “wrong body”, I just don’t have the gender you expect for the body I’ve got; adjust your expectations).

Sexual Orientation: (Self-explanatory) Towards female-bodied people

Relationship Status: E.g. married, single, in a committed relationship, in a casual relationship, etc. polyamorous, in 3 ongoing relationships with partners with addl partners of their own

**Age: **(Self-explanatory) 54

Location: Long Island NY; stone’s throw from Queens.

Experiences: I’ve done casual sex (i.e., with strangers) a few times, didn’t do much for me; have also done the “friends with benefits” / sex wtih people who aren’t strangers but with whom I’m not in an ongoing romantic relationship with.

**Attitude in regard to self: ** I’d do the second variety again (and probably will), not much interest in sex with strangers (not prudish, but I think I’m too self-conscious about it to enjoy that)
Attitude in regard to others: *I see nothing at all wrong with casual sex. I think people who never have sex in the context of strong emotional connections are missing out, but that’s a different matter. *

**Age: **45
Location: variable; currently in my native Spain
Experiences: a couple of hookups with friends
**Attitude: ** 1) Wear a condom damnit. 2) So long as everybody knows what the game is, game on (this applies to casual sex, to romance, to courtship with an eye to marriage… step one, make sure we’re all dancing the same dance; step two, either dance or leave the floor).
