Just sex-two words that undeniably grab attention, and often lead to a flurry of raised eyebrows and whispered conversations. If you've ever found yourself in a whirlwind affair, caught between sheets and conversations that stop at "good morning," then this article is tailor-made for you. Not to burst your bubble (or maybe do exactly that), but just sex is a reality for many in 2024, particularly in our fast-paced, swipe-right culture where Netflix and chill can sometimes become Netflix and... you get the idea.
Picture this: you’re with someone exclusively for their fantastic physical connection. You’re not emotionally invested; you don’t celebrate month-iversaries, and the idea of a future together is as fuzzy as a Sunday morning hangover. Ah, been there, done that. Personally speaking, during my ill-fated college romance, it took multiple alarm bells and a friend's relentless wisecracks to see that our emotional bond was shallower than a kiddie pool.
But hey, I'm not alone, right? Many folks are navigating these choppy waters, unsure if they’re more like friends with benefits or just conveniently bypassing the friend part altogether. The good news? This guide is your life raft, your beacon of clarity. By the end of this gem, you'll nail the subtle and not-so-subtle signs they don't introduce you to their friends and that classic moment when your chat history brims only with late-night texts. Been a victim of the mysterious ‘Hey stranger’ text at 2 AM? Yes, we’ll decode that too.
Let’s keep it real. The emotional investment from someone who's only in it for the nookie usually equals zilch. You’ll notice scant post-coital cuddles, and the romantic gestures are often as rare as teeth on a hen. Frankly, stuff like getting your first name wrong (ouch, true story) and never discussing any future plans falls right into our hilarious yet brutally honest signs it’s merely a fling.
So why is 2024 any different? Well, with the rise of casual dating apps, navigating the maze of commitment-free entanglements has never been more confusing. Technology's great but often complicates what was already a convoluted pursuit.
In this article, you'll also get plenty of laughs along the way (promise), and considering issues like avoiding public places becomes all too relatable.
Alright, enough teasing. Fasten your seatbelts and arm yourself with some solid insights, as we delve into 21 spot-on signs that confirm you're in it for the fun and not the forever.

No matter how busy he says he is, if was serious about the two of you he’d make an effort to spend time with you outside the bedroom.
He makes sure the two of you never get too close emotionally by keeping things from you. If you tell him you like it when he does a certain something, he’ll stop because he wants to keep things casual emotionally.
Has he ever straight-up told you that he’s not interested in anything serious and just wants to play the field? He wouldn’t be saying these things if it weren’t true!
If it’s not about sex, all communication is likely to come from you. Are you the only one suggesting dates? Are you the only one who tries to start a real conversation when the two of you are together?
If you get visibly upset about the lack of communication or closeness between you two and doesn’t care, he probably doesn’t care about you, either.
Or should I say he has multiple sex partners that he’s not very private about. If the guy is openly having sex with multiple partners, it is definitely not a relationship.
