"The conventional wisdom is that casual sex, 'friends with benefits,' and hooking up is hurtful."

Well it's Fox News and they are stuck in the stone age with everything. Most people here think it's bad cus everyone here isn't mature enough for it. Here on these boards most people go from relationship to relationship and think it's bad not to be in one cus they are stuck in the stone age mindset and don't realize that's more hurtful. If you're mature enough then by all means do it.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota found that young adults engaging in casual sexual encounters do not appear to be at increased risk for harmful psychological outcomes as compared to sexually active young adults in more committed relationships.
