I think you should never sleep with a woman you don't have some sort of connection with. Sex for the sake of sex can be fun, but do it too often and you can end up causing yourself emotional damage.

I'm interested and I want to learn and understand more about this part. Could you clarify what kind of emotional damage you're talking about?

EDIT: Is it like what Yuri said, or you meant other things as well?

In my society (USA) and I suspect in others as well, men are taught to repress and/or deny their own emotional validity. They don't even acknowledge to themselves that they have feelings in a lot of cases, never mind feelings that matter. And women are taught that they have complete freedom to be emotional.

Men who do not know, accept, understand or believe that they are emotional creatures just as women are, or that they have valid emotions, are prone to doing things that should be held in higher respect because of their emotional impact, such as sex. Having meaningless sex can damage that part of you, male or female, that needs to have an emotional connection for sex.

That's why it's important to treat sex with respect. It is self destructive and damaging to the other parties involved to be careless with sex where emotions are involved.
