8 Advice You Need To Keep In Mind For One Night Stand
By: Kratika Mon, 25 Apr 2022 12:42:24
One night stands are pretty darn common. You’d think they are simple. In reality, they can be pretty darn confusing too. Meeting someone new is awkward enough. Toss sex into the mix and awkward becomes super awkward and leaves you wishing for one night stand advice.
But, there is a way to make a one night stand what it is. You can make it simple, fun, and safe. You just have to know how. If you want to make your first or next one night stand as best as it can be, do these 8 things and it will be.
# Be honest
If you are going into the night knowing you want a one night stand, be honest with your date, your match, or whoever it may be. Tell them that you aren’t looking for something serious or long term.
This will make things run much smoother through the night and afterward.
# Like them
Sure, you might only be with this person for one night, but if you get along, not only will the sex be better, but the talking part will be much better too. In order to get the most out of a one night stand, enjoy spending time with that person.
If you are overlooking the fact that they smoke or are a misogynist just to have a one night stand, what’s the point? It will not be as enjoyable as it could be. It is only one night, you want to enjoy it.
# Be sure
Agreeing to a one night stand at dinner or at the bar doesn’t mean you can’t change your mind later on during the night. You do not have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable at any point.
It may be hard to admit you changed your mind, especially to someone you just met or don’t know very well, but you do not want to regret anything, so be sure to get and give consent before moving forward.
# Be cautious
As fun as a one night stand can be, spending private time with someone you don’t know very well can be scary or dangerous. Be sure to tell a trusted friend the address of where you are just in case.
You can also always give a friend the name of the person you are with, in case something goes awry.
# Share your history
Another part of the night that sounds awkward, but makes everything from now to weeks from now so much better. Be sure you are both healthy before doing anything that could put either of you at risk.
# Be safe
Wrap it up. It doesn’t matter if “it isn’t as good.” A one night stand is not a trusted long-term relationship with someone you trust. Use protection.
