Interesting article...Although I ask you: How much well being does a person derive from casual sex, once it causes them to catch an incurable std such as hepatitis, aids, herpes or even cold sores!? Stick to one partner folks...

I think that these results are both dangerous and misleading. Are you telling me that promiscuity now will not have a bearing on a person's committed relationship in the future, and therefore their emotional state? Perhaps they should do a study on sleeping around and its correlation to marital unfaithfulness. Just a thought.

Relationships, sexual, committed, casual or otherwise are something that _adults_ engage in. If you aren't mature enough to do it, then don't. But don't bag the rest of us because you can't handle it.

A casual relationship is just that, casual and short-term. A committed relationship is more satisfying, but the potential for emotional damage when it fails is far greater.

The simplistic moralists should come back when they are mature enough to handle the subject. This is a complex issue. Choosing a life-partner, or not, is probably the most important decision you will ever make in your life. Naive generalisations don't help.

Load of rubbish.The trial is flawed from the start.The males who took part obviously had casual partners, therefore these particular women were not included in the study. They could possibly be as promiscuous, if not more so. Why not include a few professional Psychologists for a truthful analysis instead of relying on a herd of smart-assed college students with an axe to grind, and couldn't hypothise a children's cookie party ?

Why did they let a 5 year old write this article?

I agree with the premise, but they butchered it with this piece of crap. I want to disagree with them just on principle.

This study leaves out a whole group of individuals who have limited sexual encounters. It seems likely that the mental wellbeing of people who engage in casual sexual relationships would be better than people who wanted to, but failed, to find either commited or casual partners

Is the person who wrote this article "English as a second language"?

Casual sex is okay as long both partners understand that it's just sex and nothing more. Communication about this beforehand is the responsible thing to do so one of the partners doesn't get hurt later.
