Psychological Impacts Not Found for Casual Sex Among Young Adults ScienceDaily (Dec. 9, 2009) — University of Minnesota Project Eating Among Teens (EAT) researchers have found that young adults engaging in casual sexual encounters do not appear to be at increased risk for harmful psychological outcomes as compared to sexually active young adults in more committed relationships. While this study focused on the psychological impact, researchers caution that the physical risks of casual sex should not be overlooked. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091208132730.htm This was brought to my attention by hopelessfool on pg. 15, post 296. I responded pg. 16, post 313. And yet, where is the better research that shows the findings here to be incorrect? You can attack another researchers work all day, but you have no contrary findings to support your position.... just personal opinion... I do social science research for a living.... and I have to tell you that people have been having casual sex since the dawn of time, reproduction of the species, etc... now I will say that yes, casual sex and casual BSDM can be harmful for those who tie their emotionality to it. I am not necessarily an advocate for casual BDSM or sex, but saying it is emotionally damaging for those who do it without a shred of evidence, well that is just silly unsubstantiated opinion without any basis in reality. Now you can spew your opinion all day and all night, it doesn't change the fact that it is an opinion that is no more valid than mine, except I have Kinsey and other researchers to substantiate my position that sexuality is an individual thing and different people have different intimacy needs based upon culture and their own uniqueness... When you can pony up something other than your opinion I may take you seriously, but I seriously doubt you will... kinky people have faced persecution from far more erudite individuals than yourself who claimed we were damaged for doing this in committed relationships.. their opinions are being regularly debunked too
