I personally couldn't do the whole "casual physical relations" thing, but again, that's personal. As for you, you need to weigh the pros and cons -- yes, especially the obvious ones.
From alternet.org,
6 reasons to have casual sex:
1. Asserting your desires can create a tremendous sense of power.
2. It might help you transcend your inhibitions.
3. You'll learn more about your sexuality.
4. You might learn about yourself emotionally.
5. You might be a better partner in a committed sexual relationship.
6. You'll learn more about sex.
And obviously, it's exciting and enjoyable, and, like you said, you're tired of waiting, and this is a way around it.
Reasons against casual sex from Yahoo! Shine:
1. STDs.
2. Mental anguish; it's a temporary escape, not a fix.
3. Social stigma: it's reckless behavior that friends & family would likely not approve of.
4. It might ruin the friendship (if you know the person).
5. Sex has more than just physical implications: it has mental implications, too.
6. While it's exciting, it might not be the best sex because there's no emotional connection.
Also, you should consider how your future girlfriends/spouse will feel about your sexual past.
Ultimately it's up to you, and whichever decision you make, you'll have to live with for the rest of your life. Would you regret not having fun in your younger years? Would you regret sleeping with people without an emotional attachment?
I tried to be really impartial here. Hope this helped somewhat!
