Whatever it's "meant" to be, it's a very powerful, emotionally charged force, best saved for people who know and care about each other. Random sex dulls the senses and often has unfortunate consequences.

That depends on who you're asking. Although comparatively speaking, my casual encounters have been few, and I'm pretty much tired of them. I want sex to be with someone I love and enjoy spending time in non-sexual activities with. Not all people that I've met, gay or straight, share the same opinion.
Every individual looks at it differently, and people react differently to different situations. I'm not in a relationship, so there's really no telling how I'd react if, say, David Tennant showed up at the same bar I was in and invited me back to his hotel room; okay, I can predict somethings in that situation, and it involves walking into a number of immobile objects on my way to the loo while I tried putting my thoughts together.
I've never taken a poll on it, but of the people I've met, myself included, they were far happier in long term, monogamous relationships than those who were promiscuous. I used to know a fairly young guy that got tested for all sexually transmitted diseases once a month only to complain that it "Means no fun for a week!" If I'm not promiscuous, I don't have to worry about that.
Maybe I am missing out on some of the fun that's offered buy guys looking for hook ups on the various dating sites, but I know it's not for me. I'd rather enjoy the companionship and the sex, a reason to look forward to coming home and being around someone I simply enjoy being around; it's like being offered waffles for breakfast but with no condiments, sides, or coffee; it'll fill you up, but won't satisfy you.

That's entirely up to you. If you want to have casual sex do so safely, if you want to wait for that special someone go for it. I warn you know it is hard to wait for that special person I'm currently in College and still a virgin and 20 year old virgin to be exact, sometimes I'm tempted to just go for a random hook up but then I remember that if I I were to met my husband tomorrow, how would he feel knowing that I shared my self with other men. To me I think that he'd see him self as special knowing that out of all the others he was chosen, and I would want him to think that he's special because he is. But as I said before if you have casual hook ups go for it. I think you'll have more instant gratification if you choose casual.

It really depends on the person. A lot of people these days just do it because it makes them feel good. It seems to be a very common thing to not take it so seriously/do it with a lot of people without much thought. Not everyone is like that though. Some people are looking for a relationship.

I don't think it would matter IF it were straight or gay sex my opinion is the SAME...
Casual sex can be fun & fulfilling for the moment; however, sex with the one you love is continuously HEAVEN!!!
