Researchers from New York University and Cornell University say that casual hookups are good for your overall well-being.
'If you want to have casual sex, you definitely should. If you do not want to have casual sex, you should not,' said researchers
The effects of casual sex depend on the extent to which this behaviour is congruent with one's general personality tendencies.
Researchers chose a group of students who kept a weekly diary over 12 weeks documenting casual sex and its effect on their overall well-being.
The socio-sexually unrestricted students reported higher well-being after having casual sex compared to not having sex.
