Right and Wrong: Is Casual Sex Moral or Immoral?


I have been doing that exercise where you spend 15 minutes a day writing...writing about anything really. I have been writing this blog for about a week now after the 4 year hiatus, and overall, it has felt nice to get back to it. I was glad to come back to an abandoned blog and find that one of the posts from the archive has over 14,000 views....I am sure some of that is spam and computer bots, but there are some comments there, so that gives me the feeling that someone has actually read it, and I have at least been able to share something with the world.

Today has been a crazy day in my personal life. All kinds of possibilities, ideas, and emotions going up and down across the spectrum.

It has also made me question some things. I used to be a strong advocate that casual sex was not only moral, but in simple terms honest. Honesty through sexuality. If you deny your sexual feelings, it is not being honest with yourself, and it is difficult to progress as a human being when you are not honest with yourself. Moreover, it is very natural and human to seek out a sexual partner...not to mention society encourages it.

Is there anything immoral about casual sex? Well, I would say that there is a lot of potential for things to go wrong. Even still, in my heart I want to say that casual sex is not immoral. It is one of those issues where you want to find two people that want the same thing, and if both parties are fair and honest, it can be done without projecting destruction into the world. I guess you've met the young Hindu side of me. Karma. Dharma and Hari Ohm.

However, I guess I also want to be realistic, and I can totally understand why so many people...religious and secular advocate that casual sex is something bad and should not be performed by anyone. It sends you down a slippery slope.

For starters, there are often highs and lows associated with seeking many sexual partners. It can lead to intense uplifting emotional reactions and destructive and crashing ones as well.

Then, what happens when you have to seek out multiple partners. A lot of people will get offended and insulted at even the attempt of having sex with them. This can lead to both physical and emotional conflict.

Not to mention if a casual relationship occurs, one person might also want the relationship to continue into something more serious and long-lasting. If the other party does not agree, it can lead to genuine heartbreak. Let's be real. Even people who seek out casual sex partners also have feelings and also enjoy having a certain person in their life....someone can even make them  grow out of it.

There are so many challenges in life. When does one ever choose the right pathway? I am still a believer in right and wrong, and that there is a form of goodness in the world. I would hope that people can have casual sex in a way that will only share kindness, joy, pleasure, passion, physicality, emotions, and of course orgasmic discharges (winning).

The real answer is...of course casual sex can be performed in a moral way. One of the more pressing issues associated with this is...if someone does not participate in sexual activity, voluntary or involuntary...they do not deserve to be ridiculed or insulted. There are enough problems in the world, and we don't need more people anchoring us down with destruction. Casual sex might have some ambiguous associations when it comes to morality.

But it is most certainly immoral to bring destruction into the world by making fun of someone for not having sex. As a male who has survive the teen years and early 20's, I will tell you that there are many people, both men and women that resort to insulting people for not being sexually active. This type of thinking is barbaric and has no place in the 21st Century.

Let's just try our best to share feelings of optimism, positivity, kindness, fairness, and experience.
Be honest. Sometimes direct and sometimes indirect. Create energy without destruction and share a message of passion with the world. Share love in ways that you could only imagine when you first see the magic in someone else's eyes.

Until then.....Let love live onward.
