The thrill of a one-night-stand … Don’t think any other sexual escapade beats its allure. The final delivery of the prize after chasing the unknown must be very satisfying – for the chaser of course. One-night-stands are the firecracker of sexuality: short, explosive and memorable – if you didn’t have one-too-many drinks.

Much as some of us hate them, we tend to get sucked into them at some point in our lives. Maybe you just got dumped and don’t want anything more than the physical or maybe it was a dare or you just saw this stranger and lusted for him or her.

Whatever the reason, the memory of that passion filled encounter makes most of us get tempted to have a second night … even when we clearly know that what we had was meant to be purely physical. At the same time, there is that other party. Maybe in a bid to make your conquest, you sent misleadingly wrong signals. Or maybe, you had such a perfect physical connection that made you entertain the thought of ‘May be it wasn’t merely physical after all’.

How do you take control of the situation and prevent your one-night-stand from dragging out for longer than that one night? How do you break ties in a forthright but respectable manner?

    I just wanted to say, the photo at the top of this article is from a British show called EastEnders. The guy in the photo is actually the boyfriend of the blonde girl’s sister. This one night stand resulted in a baby girl being born with the paternity being discovered during the Christmas special last year.
    What’s my point?
    Regardless of how much joy you’re having on your one night stand, please remember to use a condom.

    After a one night stand I thnk that when it’s time to go make sure that you son’t make any promises. Offer the use of your shower or if you are at their place use the shower and thank them and leave. DOn’t promise to call or don’t tell them that you would like to see them again jsut be polite and leave, but the best way to handle any one night stands is to just not have them.

    Not everyone can handle a one-night stand because they are emotional creatures. For me, I can separate the emotion from the physical. Most times its hard for me to combine the two but thats a whole different topic. For the most part, one-night stands are MEANT to be emotion-less. If two people engage in it, it is to be assumed that there will be nothing afterwards. I obviously do not want anything further because you gave in too easily. My chase is over. Maybe, I was particularly horny and the guitarist was looking oh-so-fine, if I slept with him that night, I’m clearly not interested in getting to know him.

    I do believe in being very upfront about expectations. Saves me the headache of checking for stalkers. One-night stands can be fun, cathartic (age-old reasoning of rebounding from a last relationship). Acknowledge it for what it is and stop expecting things beyond what’s in front of you.

    Things can be broken off quite easily when your done doing the do. If it hurts the other person, so be it but there are diplomatic ways to deal with it. I’d rather be upset about it immediately than to be led on and hurt later. Of course, this could have been remedied before doing the deed but can be a mood-killer. And I still look myself in the mirror. Doesn’t make me feel less of a person for wanting some instant gratification. Sometimes, that’s all you need.
