So are you "into casual" ?

Way I figure it is you have two types of friends, or at least, a sliding scale of how close of friends you are.
On one side you have casual acquaintances. On the other side of the scale you have friends who are close enough are deep enough friends to truly love each other, and not have the friendship harmed at all by having casual sex with each other.
The word "casual sex" makes it sound, at least in my case, less appropriately intimate and trusting than it is. Makes it sound more random and not giving a shit. I trust my friends, and we love each other unconditionally. I would trust them with my life over my own blood family. That says something I think.
Probably that I'm out of my gourd :D

But I did vote.
I will say this, though; I've never understood "friends with benefits". I love my friends, male and female, as friends. Sex tends to complicate things, though - and moves a friend into the category "lover". The notion that, after sex, you can casually just go back to being the friends you were is a little weird to me, and I've never found it to be true. Then again, I'm pretty close to pwhodges' generation, post summer-of-love, smack in the middle of the disco era, pre-AIDS. Well, post AIDS too, but I was married by then.
That may have been one of the things that precipitated the change - who can you trust to be "clean"? You know your friends! It just wasn't a concern in the age of the "zipless fuck" of the 70's.
There's probably a thesis in there somewhere for an up-and-coming Kinsey.
Is it cold in here?:

This is making me think of one of my favorite XKCD comics, but I can't find the exact comic for posting here.

Linked for you. Then again, for the too-lazy-to-click,
I like that xkcd supports hotlinking.
Edit: the mouseover text is "Hey, I don't make the rules. It's in the book."
