Gourt Home::Gourt :: Casual sex
Casual sex refers to sexual activity outside the context of a romantic relationship, consisting of a range of informal sexual encounters.
A hookup (colloquial American English) is casual sex activity that could consist of kissing, oral sex, or full sexual intercourse.
An extended hookup sometimes refers to prolonged instances of casual sex interactions. This is a situation in which the involved parties occasionally meet for casual sex multiple times, always without a long-term commitment.
Theological questions
Many religions and cultures consider casual sex to be immoral (see Religion and sexuality for more information). People's ideas about casual sex range from conservative religious views to very liberal hedonistic views. During the sexual revolution in the United States and Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, social attitudes about casual sex underwent considerable upheaval.
Commercial sites
There are many specialist online dating services which cater for people looking for casual sex as the internet provides a suitable forum for those looking at just a physical relationship without any emotional attachments.
