“Casual sex is having sex with one of one or more partners that you're not committed to. It's about having sex with one or more partners that you are not in a romantic relationship with. And we know that this goes on in our society, and it's going to go on in our society forever.”  - Philippe Douyon
 
“If you're somebody who's had a lot of casual sex, there's no judgement, you can always change your life. Life for me is about evolution. You can always create the health, the relationships, and the life that you want for yourself.” - Philippe Douyon
