## Casual Sex
#### Casual sex is generally associated with normal levels of well-being. However, in certain instances, it may be harmful. Certain attitudess towards sexuality tend to moderate the negative psychological effects that may occur in younger individuals.

* 20% of reported recent sexual encounters were casual in nature
* Casual partnerships were more common among men than among women (29% vs. 14%)
* The study found **no significant differences** in the **psychological wellbeing** of those who engaged in casual sex versus those who engaged in sex with a more serious partner, **regardless of gender**
* _“Young adults who engage in casual sexual encounters do not appear to be at greater risk for harmful psychological outcomes than sexually active young adults in more committed relationships.”_
* [Bersamin et al. 2014](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224499.2013.772088#.VXIOpFxVhBc) [(non-paywall)](https://sci-hub.se/https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224499.2013.772088)
* NEGATIVE EFFECTS on COLLEGE STUDENTS
* This study focuses on a younger demographic: only **college students 18 to 25**
* A greater proportion of men (18.6%) than women (7.4%) reported having casual sex in the past month
* For emerging-adult college students, engaging in casual sex may elevate risk for **negative psychological outcomes**
* [Vrangalova and Ong 14](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1948550614537308) [(non-paywall)](https://sci-hub.se/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1948550614537308)
* MODERATING NEGATIVE EFFECTS - a response to the perceived harms endured by younger demographics
* Defferenciates between **attitudes** towards casual sex
* The study found that **sociosexuality**, “a stable personality orientation toward casual sex,” **moderated the effect** of casual sex on well-being
* The study found that after having casual sex, **sociosexually unrestricted** students (those who were generally interested in and eager to have casual sex) typically reported **improvements in psychological wellbeing** afterward, while the psychological wellbeing of sociosexually restricted students was **generally unaffected**.
* [Vrangalova 15](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24496788)
* A study examining the **differences in motivations** for casual sex
* Differentiates between **autonomous and non-autonomous** motivations
* Autonomous reasons:
* the subject was highly attracted to the other person
* The subject wanted to experiment and explore their sexuality
* The subject felt this would be a valuable learning experience
* Non-autonomous reasons:
* the subject was drunk
* the subject was hoping it would be more than just a casual encounter
* the subject was seeking revenge on an ex
* People having casual sex for **autonomous reasons** were for the most part **unaffected** by this activity
* In contrast, those who engaged in casual sex for **non-autonomous reasons** typically experienced a **decrease** in psychological wellbeing
