The idea that casual sex serves as some sort of formative process sounds ridiculous. In my mind, sex serves an important role in pair bonding, and casual sex would then inhibit the ability of people to pair bond.
- ceilingcorner 6y agoThis is old wisdom, perpetually forgotten, recently remembered anew.
