In this episode of Needs To Be Studied, we debate whether casual sex is really “casual” when one person might be getting more than the other. Am I just participating in hookup culture… or am I using this man? Is convenience the same thing as manipulation? And at what point does “no strings attached” turn into emotional negligence?

We get into:

• The ethics of booty calls

• Is it wrong if both adults agree?

• Does knowing someone’s name actually matter?

• Can you treat someone like an experience instead of a person?

• When casual starts feeling one-sided

This one is messy, funny, and a little uncomfortable — because sometimes the villain in the story might be you.

Let’s discuss.
