Confessions of an ex-sex kitten

3. This.

It isn't casual sex in and of itself that I have a problem with. What I more have a problem with, is when the relentless pursuit of casual sex becomes a fixation. Then it starts to look like an addiction. And I don't like it when casual sex is glorified and held up to be some kind of super-cool thing to do.

It works for some people.

It doesn't work for other people.

Problem is, if you don't really *know* the person you are getting naked with, how do you really know what *their* motive is? Are they really just having a casual roll in the hay, or are they working out issues like the author of this article was?

Casual sex should be awesome all the way around and it often is; but of course there are problems, like the ones you've mentioned above. Another dangerous aspect is the added risk of violence that women face.

The fact that she went about it the way she did, and for the reasons she did, might well play a part in her views shifting a little too far in the other direction now as she is acknowledging her true motivations at the time.

She says she "can't help wondering now if there are maybe some women out there" like her? I'm sure there are lots of women like her out there. I'd be surprised if women like her weren't a very sizeable percentage of women who engage in what I used to call sport sex. The statistics about molestation would indicate a decent-sized pool of possible participants.
