(146,317 posts)that during my lifetime. Almost all of them when I was under 35 years old. Sometimes it was "friend" sex with people I knew well and at some time when that seemed like a good idea. A few times it was casual sex with someone I really didn't know very well, again, when that seemed like a good idea to both of us.
After I got a little older, I found long-term monogamous relationships more rewarding and pretty much stopped having NSA sex, even though there were opportunities from time to time. There were a few occasions, but fewer and fewer as I got older. Today, in my near-dotage, I doubt that such a thing will occur again. I don't have the impulse to engage with someone I'm not in a relationship with.
I have several people of both sexes in their 20s among my acquaintances. All of them engage in casual sex sometimes, often with friends they know well, according to them, along with the odd instant one-off hook-up. Good for them, I say. I've never had a problem with that, and it's a lot of fun, most of the time.
