Casual relationships

Is there a need for 'casual relationships'?
When we refer to intimacy as 'casual' does that mean we do not exercise choice?

For most males that I have come across, casual means, anybody in no particular order, plus the no-strings condition.
The relationship is casual enough to be categorized at the same level as platonic, yet it involves touch and some exchange of bodily fluids. It's the same grade, but a different product.

I think social acceptance of this new classification is as widely accepted as any VISA, MASTERCARD or AMEX.

Back to the question. There may be a need for casual relationships, because hormones have deemed that a necessary part of life with approving nods from society - but individuals may vary in how that need will be addressed.

For me, just because it's casual doesn't make it easy in that we loose our ability to choose - even when using credit and debit cards, we have a choice of banks to select for use.

So, yes, casual is ok, but lets not make it indifferent.
