can women enjoy casual hookups?

There's a boy I'm meeting soon, and we've both made it really clear we don't want a relationship - I started talking to him because I got drunk and made a bit of an inappropriate comment about him to one of his friends and it got back to him lol. we're basically meeting up to have sex, but from other girls I've only heard negative things about casual stuff like this. I genuinely just like him as a person and in that way, not romantically at all and he seems to feel similar. we've been in the same class for 2 years, so he's not a stranger. do you think it's possible to do that and not end up miserable, because all you see online from a women's perspective is that it makes you feel terrible..
Yes, it's perfectly possible. You just need to make sure that you clearly set your boundaries, both when you're with each other and afterwards. People often assume that communication isn't important in situations like this because it's a casual arrangement, but it really is. Negative experiences can obviously always come from hooking up with the wrong person or you just being incompatible, but it also very often comes from people wanting different things and having different expectations. Seems to me like you're approaching your situation the right way, and I don't see any reason you wouldn't have a positive experience from it.

It's definitely possible to do a friends with benefit type of thing without any feelings either side happening, it does depend on your personality and how easy you attach to people, like me I can do it very easily as while I'm not cold hearted I don't attach, yet mates of mine can't because they end up getting feelings etc.
