Does a bunch of casual sex have any damaging emotional effects? For me, a slut who's slept with probably more people than your own mother, the answer is not really? There are some effects! For example, I place much more importance on sexual compatibility than I used to. 1/

But I don't feel like... Listless dissatisfaction, I don't feel emotionally damaged in any particular way. I don't feel bad about myself for my past sluttiness, except sometimes when the world yells at me for it. I dont regret sleeping with anybody except one dude 4/

Can it be bad for other people? Sure, yes. I think of this as similar to "doing drugs" 30 years ago - there's a ton of hysteria and misinformation from people who've never or barely tried it, I'm glad it's now more normal, but also occasionally doing drugs fucks people up. 5/

I think the answer isn't to try to reintroduce a stigma about drug use, it's to educate people about the risks, let people know what warning signs are, and help them have a good time. Because drugs are often very awesome and radically improved my life. Same with casual sex!

Any damage (if extant) to your ability to form stable long term relationships wouldn't be detectable based on your subjective experience of mental state, the evidence would be in the success or failure of attempts to form sustain quality stable long term relationships.

No one is obligated to want or seek that type of relationship, but the generic assumption is that most people do want those types of relationship, hence the worry about the impact of a growing number of temporary sexual relationships.
