"   Well, this sucks: A new study by University of Michigan psychologists found that women still face a serious social stigma when it comes to casual sex. The study revolved around four different experiments designed to measure attitudes toward casual sex. Participants were first asked to read a short story about casual sex. In one story, a man approached a woman and in the second, a woman approached a man. Afterward, they filled out a survey about how they perceived the characters in the story. The results? Not good. The women who asked for sex &amp;quot;were viewed as more promiscuous, less intelligent, less mentally healthy, less competent, and more risky than men who accepted the same offer.&amp;quot; In another experiment, volunteers were asked if they&amp;#039;d agree to a hypothetical casual sex situation. The women, by large, said no because they didn&amp;#039;t want to be labeled as a slut. Will we ever stop labeling each other over sexual preferences? It&amp;#039;s looking like it&amp;#039;s still a long way off\u2014even though we know casual sex can be good for you, under the right circumstances. Tell us: What do you think of women who have casual sex? Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
