I sit here and try and remember if I'd ever actually had one, and I don't think so. I've had casual relations where there wasn't actually love involved, but it wasn't just one night :D

Oh, and the Walk-O-Shame the next morning is always to be avoided.

D
 
I prefer one-night stands with 4 legged animals. You can do kinky things with them and they won't judge you.

You might say, well that's disgusting! Heck, you only live once, so why the hell not..?

u finally woken up after the long night of "Showtime" :p

Nah, still awake and smashing newbies for posting old news...

Geeze I was a prick - codeine withdrawal is horrible.

Never had a one night stand but I don't see a reason as to why they would be wrong if both parties consent. Sex isn't some sacred act - it's a built-in primal instinct, it's natural, and damn it's a lot of fun.

Well, I seem to remember it being a lot of fun - it's been a very, very long time..... :eek:
 
Not for me. I'm still waiting to do it anyways, been with my girlfriend for 5 years and we're waiting until the time is perfect. Did the same thing with our first kiss, all our mates said "the perfect time will never come", but one sunset sat on a hill overlooking a river - we kissed.

doesn't help that we're both perfectionists :D

Personally I think it's a 'sacred' thing. I don't like the notion of being used, or using someone else for your own benefit. and with all these diseases going around... urgh! and no way I want a kid. no risk! I mean we do everything else... just nothing that could cause a kid :D we both believe in protection but with Caroline being catholic that rules out abortions so if anything happened we would be unbelievably buggered.

I prefer sex in a relationship too.

A relationship without sex is a little, er, one sided.


;)

One-handed, I say. :p

Well, that is another option...

you will have plenty of fun, as long as the other turns out NOT to be a psycho and want to marry you.. lol!!

like others have said.. if both are up for it, then why not..

ps: use protection too :p

honestly, I was married about 3 years about, but in my single days. it was nice. relationships are better though. but to be honest, in the early days of a relationship where the girl was "nice" ie not doing anything, it wasnt too bad to get a date here or there from some babe who would have some fun also. ;-)

if you are not hurting anyone, wearing a raincoat. have the fun!

I'm not even going to hazard a guess as to what the catholic opinion on that is.

Here's one I prepared earlier....

I'm sure they can be wild, fun and full of passion but that hasn't been my (limited) experience so far. Doesn't help things that we were both pretty drunk and that sex is awkward for me in any situation.

Certainly not opposed to trying it again, definately more sober next time but right now all I want to do is bite someone. Clothes on.
 
I didn't vote because this is one of those topics where I definitely contradict myself.

I do feel that sex is sacred and should be with someone you love.

But, I can't say I'd turn down casual sex.
 
I'm cool with either...being in a real relationship is very rewarding (much of the time...), however a one night stand can be a rush.

I think it's two totally different kinds of sex: in a relationship where you know the other person on a deep level, and you search for each others subtleties, versus a one night stand where you have 1 night to experience as much as you can of the other person. I think the former is a more lasting good feeling, while the latter is a hell of a rush, that fades quickly...:)
 
I need another choice - I only like to have sex with someone I know. Not necessarily love.

I've only had a single one-night stand, and I think it's somewhat overrated. If you're having consistent sex with someone who is good at it, then that's better than having sex with random people.

Of course, I've been married for 10 years, so I'm perhaps a little swayed in my opinions. ;)

what about someone you LUST for?

I love lust.

Requited, unrequited, whatever. Lust brings me out of character and always leads me to places I don't expect.

What's better than that?
 
I don't have a problem with one night stands. The difficulty is finding someone to have one with me.

come to West Virginia. You'll fit right in :D
 
I don't think that one night stands are awkward. Hell, the next morning I just keep on walking around naked. Usually offer up breakfast and a ride. Possibly another round.

And a bunch of times that's somehow turned into some sort of short dating thing. If I run into them in public later on, it's nice to catch up a bit and see how they are.

What is awkward though are the one night stands that never quite go anywhere. Like the time that the E kept it from working, or the chick that it didn't fit into, or the chick that was so drunk she passed out on me on my couch and I had to carry her to bed.

Hell, I'd say that sleeping with friends (behaving or not) is more awkward, since there's all that boundary discussion that a one night stand doesn't require.

But, you know, I still think that sex is better with someone you love. It's just that after a couple years of not finding love, it's hard to really believe it'll happen again any time soon. And who wants to be alone in the mean while anyway?

Yeah, that's one way to get rid of the awkwardness. Sex with someone I love is always better. That's not just because you both know what the other person/people like, but also because of what it means. Having said that, when I'm single one night stands are better than TV.
 
i've had my share.... i'm in a relationship now and it's much better.

the thing about one night stands is that they're meaningless... and kinda awkward... especially when you can't remember the persons name so you can ask them to call you a cab :eek:
 
Being the King of One Night Stands (until I met scem0), I can only say this: They are a blast! Total sexual fulfillment without the strings. As long as you are clear about your intentions, it should be fine. It's when you deceive that things become ugly. BTW- yes, sex with love is amazing. But I totally reject the notion that sex in and of itself is destructive. It can be quite liberating and fun in a certain context.

Not in England:

A drunk who claimed he had been raped by a dog was yesterday jailed for
12 months by a judge. D. G. H., 45, was arrested by police
after a passing motorist and his girlfriend found a Staffordshire bull
terrier, called Badger, having sex with him the side of a road in
Huddersfield, east Yorkshire. Prosecutor Ben Crosland said couple had
stopped to help because they thought H. was attacked by the animal.
But when they got closer they saw that he had trousers round his ankles,
was down on all fours and the dog was straddling him from behind.
The defendant mumbled something about the dog having taken a liking to
him, said Mr Crosland. The couple were offended and sickened by what
they saw.
Another passing motorist contacted the police and H. was arrested as
he walked with the dog down the road. H., of East View, Marsh,
Huddersfield, told police "I can't help it if the dog took a liking to
me. He tried to rape me."
He repeated the rape allegation at the police station and added 'The dog
pulled my trousers down.'
H., who has had a long-standing alcohol problem, was jailed for 12
months after he admitted committing an act which outraged public
decency. His barrister said Hoyle had no memory of the incident because
of his drunken state, but was now very remorseful and incredibly
embarrassed.
Jailing him Judge Alistair McCallum told H. "Never before in my time
at the bar or on the bench have I ever had to deal with somebody who
voluntarily allowed himself to be buggered by a dog on the public
highway. Frankly it is beyond most of our comprehension. It is an
absolutely disgusting thing for members of the public to have to
witness."
