Turns out that no-strings-attached sexy times are good for you, so don’t let the haters stop you from doin’ your thang.
A recent study conducted by researchers from NYU and Cornell dispels the popular notion that casual hookups — defined as sexual activity outside the context of a romantic relationship — will leave you with low self-esteem and depression. The research, published in the journal Social Psychology and Personality Science, involved a group of NYU students who kept a weekly diary over the course of 12 weeks documenting any and all adult snuggles — and the effect those instances had on their overall well-being.

I've never felt guilty or depressed after having made casual love to a stranger.
