Is casual sex for single ladies like heroin?

  • Dr. Drew: '[Casual sex] looks great on paper, just like communism'

On Wednesday’s sex and relationship themed show, HLN’s Dr. Drew was joined by Tracy McMillan, the author of “Why You're Not Married …Yet”.

She believes that casual sex for a single woman is like recreational heroin.

“Casual sex is problematic,” she said. “I am just going off of what dozens and hundreds of women have told me over the years … it doesn't stay recreational for long.  The next thing you know, you're bonded to that guy. [You’re] friends with benefits for three weeks, then the drunk dialing begins.”

Dr. Drew added, “I always tell people, it looks great on paper, just like communism looks good on paper. It doesn't actually work with human beings.”

Dr. Drew airs Monday through Thursday on HLN at 9 p.m. ET. Follow the show on Twitter @DrDrewHLN.
