And I thought "shotgun weddings" were a thing of the past. I know a guy who was trapped that way about 10 years ago. He was in a f*ckbuddy relationship with a girl who promised she was on the pill and complained about hating condoms. After a few months of unprotected and uneventful sex, she surreptitiously went off the pill and intentionally got pregnant because she knew she could force him into a marriage he didn't want. Of course the marriage didn't last, and the poor child ended up with parents who can't stand the sight of each other and are constantly in court. [sarcasm]I can see how that's *so* much better than being f*ckbuddies.[/sarcasm]
I personally don't see a problem with casual sex. I'd prefer to be in a long-term loving relationship, and failing that my clear preference would be someone I've known for a long time and with whom I share other interests so that it's about more than just physical gratification. Failing either of those, though, I'll take advantage of whatever opportunities come along. The one thing I absolutely won't do under any circumstances is have anonymous sex. I have nothing against prostitutes or people who like "bath house" trysts, but the idea of having sex with someone I've known for 5 minutes is just creepy.
