Sex within relationships is said to improve cardiovascular health, reduce depression and boost immunity, but social science research has often linked casual encounters to feelings of sexual regret, low self-esteem and psychological distress, especially among women. Studies show that while men regret the sexual opportunities they missed, women often regret some of the casual sex they did have. A Canadian study of female and 62 male students who had casual sex found that men selected physical reasons for regret — such as their partner being insufficiently attractive.
But the evidence as to whether casual sexwhen done with protection against sexually transmitted diseases, is actually bad for anyone is unclear. Some show both men and women feel depressed, used and lonely after hookups; others find casual sex promotes more positive emotions than negative ones.
Some factors are associated with an increased risk of feeling bad afterwards — these include having sex with someone you have known for less than 24 hours, drinking heavily or taking drugs beforehand, feeling you ought to rather than you want to, and hoping for a relationship afterwards. Interestingly, the Canadian study found that high-quality sex rarely led to regret.
Zhana Vrangalova, a professor of psychology at Cornell University, New York, who runs the Casual Sex Project — a website where people graphically share their encounters — argues that casual sex can improve wellbeing by increasing confidence, sexual pleasure and making people feel desirable.
Casual sex is not, she says, like doing the laundry.
