Follow the following 10 Commandments, and even YOU can have casual sex (and make it work).
It's important to remember that this is CASUAL and such you really need little in common with the person in question other than pure sexual chemistry. He or she can be a 10 or a 5 - but as long as they turn you on it doesn't matter. Find yourself attracted to more than his/her physical being could find yourself in trouble - you are going to develop feelings and feelings are NOT associated with casual relations.
2. Best Friend, DO NOT even think about it.
You really should know this by now. Best Friends make bad casual relationships. By it's very definition you are not casual if you are friends. There is an intertwining of physical, friendship, and emotional in this situation and can only lead to a very awkward situation if it ends. Basically, if you are sleeping with your best friend you are in a relationship, it's not casual.
3. Know your Motives
The one and only reason you should have casual sex is because you basically want to get laid. You want to enjoy the pure and unencumbered feeling of sex. Do not look to casual sex as a way to get back at a past boyfriend/girlfriend or something else. That's just skanky. Know what you want and get it, and damn it don't feel bad about doing it (something I can definitely say, but don't always follow my own rule). And definitely don't start sleeping with someone causally and be thinking that you want a relationship with him - it's not going to work out (again, I'm an offender here, do as I say, not as I do!)
Cuddling = emotional attachment. Yes, you probably should adopt the philosophy "Wham bam and thank you ma'am (or sir)" and then show them the door. That coital cuddling following the huge release of tension just builds an emotional attachment - what you really want to avoid when you are going the casual route.
5. Don't introduce him/her to friends.
Don't integrate this man/woman into your life outside of your bed (or kitchen table, or shower, or etc - you get what I'm talking about!). Adding additional ways to "bond" are a no-no.
6. Be naked 97% of the time
When you are together there should be just one purpose - getting it in. Hell, if this is to be casual and no strings attached, it shouldn't matter if you are wearing sweatpants when you first see each other. Those pants/shirts should be off within minutes anyway. You don't need to be all theatrical - it's all about getting it in, getting it done, and feeling the release.
7. Don't be selfish
Don't use someone for sex. This should be a general rule for everything. You don't want the other person to feel cheap. Usually, the man is the one who could be using you (maybe I just say this from experience) but no woman just wants to be a pin cushion. Get yours and give them theres. Then move on.
A casual sex "relationship" is the perfect time to explore those freaky thoughts. You know those fetishes you wouldn't want anyone you know to actually know about. Explore your sexual side, no matter how weird it is. If it gets too strange, it's easy - just move on to a new conquest who will play with you no matter what the game is.
9. Wrap it up.
For god's sake. NEVER ever have unprotected sex with a casual partner. By no means is your "relationship" exclusive and you should assume that your partner (as well as you) is fucking around with someone else. Don't put yourself in unnecessary danger -- that's just stupid.
10. Straightforward, Direct Communication
As in any encounter with another human - communication is key. If you meet someone else who fulfills your emotional tank, tell him/her. Full disclosure is paramount so no one gets hurt (and yes, emotions can be tricky!)
