Sex is an intimate act, and you can’t always prevent feeling from coming up. If you feel like you cannot trust yourself to handle these feelings, casual sex may not be for you. However, if you are sure that it is something you can handle, sex without feelings can be achieved with the right tactics.  

Hold Yourself Accountable

When you feel like you are starting to get attached, remind yourself to go slow and take your time to decide if they are fit for you. If you fail to hold yourself accountable, you can as a trusted friend to do it for you.  

Be Clear About Your Intentions

Let your partner know that you are only interested in casual sex and that you have no intentions to be in a relationship. Also, let them know if you are dating multiple people at the same time. It will be easier to protect your heart when you’re more up-front on what you’re looking for and available for.

Avoid Consistency

The more time you spend with someone, the easier it is to become attached. It is only natural to develop feelings for someone when you spend a lot of time with them. So you might want to avoid going into a casual sexual relationship with your neighbor, colleague or society member.

Don’t Be Vulnerable

It is very important to not open up to your partner. Don’t show them the way to get under your skin and into the shadow space. If they get past your pleasure point and into your muted center, you’ll become vulnerable and depend on them emotionally.

Lastly, don’t be drawn to any particular thing that they do. This includes their laughter, smile or the way they smell. So, if you think casual sex is your thing, go ahead and have all the fun you can.
