While there is no scientific consensus on the negative impact of casual sex, that hasn’t stopped former E! editor Josh Horowitz from compiling a pretty exhaustive, if incomplete, list of all the ways that casual sex can suck:
– Getting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) can be one of the worst things that happens to a person who has had casual sex. Just think about the last time you had an out-of-the-ordinary experience sexually and the first thing that comes to mind? You probably answered with, “I think I may have caught something.”
The reason casual sex is so dangerous to your health is because you can have unprotected sex, and you can easily become exposed to STIs. The average American adult is infected with an STI at some point in their lives, but many STIs are asymptomatic or cause mild symptoms. This is why it’s so important for people who have been with a casual partner to know their sexual health status.
So how do you make sure you’re not getting any diseases while still having some fun?
While antibiotics are the only surefire way to prevent STIs, sex won’t be completely off the hook until the global community is at 100 percent STI awareness. And that means that people should be open about what they are putting in their body and what they are using their body for. The problem is that people have been in denial about sex and what goes on in the bedroom for a very long time. While many of us are OK with the casualness of relationships today, it’s important to remember that sex today is pretty darn casual and that it likely won’t stay that way for much longer.
Let’s look at a few causes of STIs, and how you can prevent them.
– Don’t have safe sex (you do realize that I’m about to ruin everything right?) The best way to prevent an STI is to have safe sex with a condom, and that should not be difficult if you are telling a new partner your status. However, when condoms are not being used, it’s important that people are disclosing their status or that they don’t have sex when they feel like they may be exposed to an STI.
– Naughty, naughty? A lot of sexual encounters that don’t include protection are due to a lack of awareness. Even though condoms are widely available, and the rate of youth access to contraception is at all-time highs, many people still think that use is like, for sure, they’re not going to

3 Myths (And Truths) About Casual Sex – The Bold Italic
In “The Good Girl Revolution: The Lifelong Quest to Become a Responsible Adult,” author Phyllis Jacklin offers her road map to becoming a Good Girl, which is in part a quest to avoid committing to sex.
In part, she writes, “I’ve been trying to get the ‘good girl revolution’ going for years, but I couldn’t. [But] as of late, I’ve become fascinated with what it means to live as a woman and a sexual being in a culture defined by anxious sexual codes that are not at all rooted in the same tradition of sensuality and intimacy.”
Her goal? “To be OK with still being in the teenage body of a 27-year-old woman,” she writes.
“I’ve been punished my whole life for my sexual ambiguity, my childbearing ability, my slightly more masculine-looking facial features, and so on. Now I’m learning to understand those punishments and to take responsibility for them.”

“Good” and “Bad” Girls: How Applying the Rapahelian Paradigm Can Make You a Better Lover—and Better Person.
In one of the most intriguing media articles I’ve read in some time, Blackbook magazine sat down for an in-depth interview with former WWE star and current FabFitFun (and online dating) blogger, Beth Phoenix. What ensued was a fascinating look into the psyche of a former WWE Diva, and more importantly, the origin story that led her to becoming the wildly successful entrepreneur that she is today.
People make changes in their life when they no longer find themselves meeting the expectations of the Old in their head — and Beth Phoenix is an exemple of this concept.
Living up to old expectations, particularly in the wrestling ring, became an increasingly difficult task for Beth, one that caused her to have breakdowns and bouts of depression. However, I highly suggest reading this entire piece, as it provides a unique perspective on what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur — and a highly evolved human being. This is the story of a woman who has learned to embrace what is new, and allow herself to be flexible and open to exploring new ideas and possibilities — all in order to be a better, happier human being.
Here are just a few gems from the piece:
