    What makes us engage in casual sex? Do we enjoy it? Does it benefit us in any way—or, perhaps, might it harm us?http://nyer.cm/LsJHgdg

        This is such a stupid question, people engage in sex because we are animals and as such we try to preserve our specie even when we don't know it, we are programmed to enjoy sex and that's all.

        It's such a stupid question; it's like do you have animal instincts or not? Of course, we are animals after all and we follow the instinct of preservation of our specie even when we don't know it.

        If you include “Casual Sex” as meaning consensual, between adults, and what my wife and I enjoy together, then it’s both physical & spiritual!

        I don’t think it harms us. The singles/millenials I know are the same as us old timers, trying to figure it out. Not easy in today’s world.
