Clear from the start
Casual Encounters: Meet Singles Who Want No Strings
Say what you want, tick the tags that say it for you and let your profile do the explaining.
Casual encounters are meets between adults who want sex and nothing else attached, and who say so before they meet. On Local Sex Meets you make a profile, tick tags that show what you want, message a profile that suits and agree the terms in the chat. Either of you can call a halt whenever you like.
Say it plainly and the right people answer
Casual dating, local sex encounters, NSA: the labels vary, the idea does not. Two adults want sex without promises about tomorrow, and both know it before they meet. NSA stands for no strings attached, and here it means exactly that: no expected texts the next day, no plans for next month, no explanation when it ends.
New to all this? Is there a casual sex site? answers the first question, and casual dating terms explained covers the vocabulary.
Say it with a tag
Match what you want to what you write
| You want | Tick | Then say |
|---|---|---|
| One evening | Short-term Fun, Available This Weekend | One night, nothing expected after. |
| Keeping it flexible | Open to Whatever | I am open to ideas, so tell me what you have in mind. |
| Quiet and private | Discreet Meets, Private Meets | I keep this low-key, so I will say when I can meet. |
Say it once in your profile and once in your first message, and you will not have to say it again. People who want something different drop out early, which saves you both a week of mixed signals. The profile tips guide helps with the wording.
Ending it well
Call time kindly and keep it easy
A casual arrangement can finish with a sentence.
You do not owe a long explanation, a final meet or an apology for wanting something different. Be brief, be kind, then stop. Either of these will do:
Try: ‘I’ve had a good time, but I’m going to stop here. Take care of yourself.’
Try: ‘I don’t want to carry on meeting, and I wanted you to hear it from me. Thank you for the company.’
If they push back, say it once more and stop replying. Block anyone who keeps going and report anything abusive; the safety page lists the tools. And if you are the one wanting more, say so once, listen to the answer and accept it. Casual lasts only as long as both of you want it casual.
Health and consent
Casual does not mean careless
- Agree protection before you meet, not at the door.
- Keep checking consent as you go, rather than ticking a box at the start. Either of you can change your mind halfway.
- Meet somewhere public the first time, and tell a friend where you will be.
- Look after your sexual health. Where to get tested is covered for the UK, Ireland and the USA.
The consent guide and meeting for sex safely go through each of these in turn.

Casual encounters, answered
What does no strings attached (NSA) mean?
It means two adults meet for sex and promise each other nothing beyond that. Nobody expects a message tomorrow, a plan for next month or a reason if one of you walks away. Say it before you meet, so nobody is left guessing.
How do I tell someone I only want casual sex?
Put it in your profile with a tag such as Short-term Fun, then say it in a sentence in your first message. Keep it friendly and specific. Anyone who wants the same will answer, and anyone who does not has saved you both some time.
Can a casual meet become a regular thing?
It can, if you both want that and say so out loud. Agree what it is: no obligations, either of you able to stop at any time and a heads-up if anything changes. If one of you wants more than the other, part on good terms.
Is it fine to want casual sex and nothing else?
Yes. Wanting sex without anything attached is a fair choice for adults, provided they are honest about it and accept a no when they get one. Being upfront is what keeps it fair for everyone involved.
