How to navigate
love and sex on the go
Keeping it clear and casual
isn’t always easy but
often necessary
By Tina Jones
Honesty
Don’t want commitment? Be honest with
yourself and your romantic partner. Relationships require a part of your life to be
focused on another individual and sometimes the time isn’t right – and that’s okay.
Be direct
Keep things clear. If you aren’t looking for
a relationship or don’t want the romance
to last longer than a weekend, trip or season then say so – and act accordingly.
Detach
When outside your culture or
country it is far easier to fall in
love with people, places and things
because you’re more open and
inclined to take risks. Not every
person you meet on the road will
be the love of your life – and that’s
great! Casual relationships and sex
are fun and healthy. But what happens when it’s time to go home or
move on to a new locale? If you’re
not ready to take your romance
with you, then here are some
GirlGI approved ways to indulge in
international sexcapades without
heartbreak or hard feelings.
Don’t form an unnecessary attachment.
If you are interested in casual sex then
it’s not all about emotions. It’s about sex.
There’s no need to swap childhood stories
or mentally assign songs that remind you
of this person.
Live in the moment
Casual relationships are fun. Enjoy the moment and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. If you decide after you leave that you
can’t live without this person, then contact
them. That’s the beauty of the internet.
Safety
Sexual practices and awareness vary by
country and culture and Chlamydia is like
the common cold in the world of STDs. If you
don’t want your vacation fling haunting you
later, then practice safe sex and always carry
and use protection.
