"  While current Sexiest Man Alive Channing Tatum may not initially strike you as a Smug Married, his thoughts on casual sex sound like the kind of passive-aggressive judgment value that your friend&amp;#039;s boyfriend would lob at (single!) you mid-dinner party. (&amp;quot;Yo, your choices suck. Can you pass the Caprese salad?&amp;quot;) It seems that before Chay Tates met and married Jenna Dewan-Tatum, he was not exactly a regular at the Casual Fornication Station. &amp;quot;I was never that kind of guy. I believed in true romance; one-night stands are always going to leave you feeling cold and empty. I was always looking for the real thing, romance, and all that. I love being married,&amp;quot; the future DILF told UK&amp;#039;s OK! magazine. &amp;quot;I never liked the idea of going to bars and chasing girls. Some guys might enjoy that, but I always wanted to find that one special woman, which I did when I met Jenna.&amp;quot; First of all, this sounds like the male movie star&amp;#039;s equivalent of stick-thin actresses&amp;#039; insistence that they &amp;quot;Eat SOOOO much!&amp;quot; as they sip Smart Water and munch on sesame crackers. Do you buy it? Secondly, while one-night stands certainly may feel &amp;quot;cold and empty&amp;quot; to some of us, others (cough: me) have benefited from casual hookups as a no-pressure litmus test for what we&amp;#039;re into sexually. And, incidentally, many female friends of mine who are currently in sexually unfulfilling relationships never had that experimental, laissez-faire sexual period. Instead, they jump from one super-serious boyfriend to another. In conclusion, &amp;quot;cold&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;empty&amp;quot; aren&amp;#039;t precisely the adjectives I&amp;#039;d use to describe one-night stands. Then again, mine aren&amp;#039;t rated PG. For more musings from Anna, follow her on Twitter. Photo credit: ABC "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
