How does it feel to be intimate with a stranger? How do you know if a relationship should end there? Does it happen again? How many times? So what does that mean? How do you know that the relationship with this person should end there? What if you enjoy it? What if you fall in love? These are just some of the questions you may be asking yourself.
A one-night stand is the type of sexuality that many will keep quiet about having had. It causes misunderstanding and discomfort in people, and is understood as immoral and wrong.
People may choose to have this kind of relationship just for fun, but sex promotes emotional connection whether you want it to or not. One person, often a woman, will quickly become emotionally attached and will be hurt when the night is over.
Do you really want this?
To help you find answers to the above and similar questions, here are 10 facts you need to know about one-night stands.
It's exciting to explore a stranger's body
Exploring a new person's body is exciting. You realize the assumptions you've had about sexuality and what works and what doesn't, and then with this person you realize half of it isn't true at all.
Intimacy with a stranger is frightening
As well as being exciting with a new person, it can also be scary! For many, it's the other side of being nervous, that certain amount of fear that comes with venturing into the unknown with someone new.
Cuddling isn't just reserved for long-term relationships
Just because it's a one night stand doesn't mean you have to come in, do the job and leave. If you like cuddling, ask and see if your new pet is cuddling too. Chances are, the other person likes cuddling too.
Your feelings are real and valuable
Don't let anyone tell you that the feelings you create in these relationships are less valuable than the feelings people have in other relationships. Just because the relationship is short doesn't mean you haven't felt anything and shared beautiful moments.
You might have the best sex ever
You might feel something special with someone you don't know and you'll never see again. After all, the only goal you have is pleasure and fun. Many realize that in this way they can free themselves and truly explore their desires.
Or worst sex ever
Because the risk you have in doing so can be, for a thousand different reasons – very high. Everything can go wrong, from kisses, chemistry, conversation...
You can fall in love with a stranger
You are only human and feelings are unpredictable.
You're just looking for a thrill without emotion
You might just walk away satisfied with what was, wanting nothing more.
A relationship may develop
A lot of people thought it was just a one-night stand, but they ended up getting married.
You could miss them more than you expected
Whether it was really great sex, or you bonded emotionally, you may find that you miss that person and the experience with them more than you thought. It's a special bittersweet feeling when it's one-sided.
