Hm.... I tend to think of casual sex as being sex between strangers, with no a priori intention of becoming otherwise. The sort of thing that might happen with a businessperson picked up in a bar for one night, in a swing club or dungeon, or at the larger sort of "those kinds of parties"...
If my casual sex definition is close to others' "anonymous sex", then my "notch" is closer to "collect the desirable stranger/acquaintance"...
And ego issues cover a broader swathe... shucks, I don't pursue that kind of sport, so to speak, but I still feel more valuable (and amazed ;-) when someone wants to be sexual with me.
And data gathering and new techniques are useful and worthwhile, granted...
