Casual Hookups

What is a casual hookup? Basically, it's doing something like making out with someone you aren't dating or officially with.
You may not hear about this in your social group, or it may be all you hear about. But the fact is, they happen and as long as you don't regret them or go around sleeping with everyone you meet as if it were a handshake, it's ok. Just don't sell yourself out.
Make sure you're comfortable with what you're doing and that you both are on the same page and also that there may be emotions even if you don't feel for the person beforehand. You may think that you're going to get together and be a couple, but the other person might just be getting some closeness or even just some random, fun action that doesn't mean a thing to them.
The REALLY important thing is to make sure you're on the same page when it comes to sex. If you can't talk about it with the other person, then you shouldn't be doing it. Some people think that's harsh but it's a lot better than wishing it never happened. There are certain questions you should ask yourself and the other person.
What does this mean to you?
Are we still going to be together?
How will things change?
What if there's a pregnancy (not applicable to gay/lesbian couples)?
Have you been with anyone else?
Have you been tested for STD's?
Do you have an STD or STI?
Don't EVER skip the conversation because it might be "awkward". If you aren't comfortable enough with this person to find out EXACTLY what is happening and will happen, then they are not the person you should be having sexual intercourse with.
There is a difference between "fucking/boinking", "sexual intercourse", and "making love".
"Fucking/boinking" is sex that really doesn't mean anything or a crude term for sex. This includes all the crude terms for sex you can think of. Boinking just sounds funny to me.
"Sexual intercourse" is the mechanical side of it. The scientific term for it and the link between "fucking/boinking" and "making love".
"Making love" is when you have a real connection with the person and is used to express feelings and connect.
Sex will not necessarily make a relationship stronger. NEVER have sex so that the person won't leave you. If that is what you're considering, get some damn self confidence! You can read my post on self esteem to get you started.

Good luck!
