One night stand : you prefer or not?

I never prefer

I prefer an active and interesting partner no matter the duration of our relationship.

I have had a one night stand with a friend. Felt great to have sex with someone that was very sweet and caring. Poor guy apologized and said he didn't want anything romantic lol. Dude, it was just a one night thing. I have feelings for someone else.

I seem to be in the minority! I like one night stands. I like sex in relationships too, but relationships bring so many complications with them. One night stands are just about having fun, and both of us (hopefully) getting our needs and desires met.

Have had a couple, pretty good.

I suspect the fact that I've never made a habit of them is what made my dip into such a thing so memorable. (For context, I have only written one story in the 'true' category, and it was about the topic here. I guess that makes the point!)

Prefer - Not at All

Hookers would be out of business if it wasn't for one night stands.

Can be fun

I enjoyed my last ONS. However I regret the times we could have had a few goes around. We hooked up two nights. There were times we saw each other and it was clear he wanted to fuck me but I turned him down because I had massive feelings for someone who didn't reciprocate my feelings. I am kicking myself now, could have had a fuck buddy on the side and now he is gone. I know our paths will never cross again.

As some said here in 2014, I’m old and old fashioned. If I know the person that way I’d want more than one time.

It's all about expectations and state of mind. I enjoy one night stands, but there may have been a few occasions where a bit of drama or heartache ensued due to either wrong expectations or bad self-assessment (the latter also on my part, I admit). It's easy to fall for someone fast if the sex is good. OTOH, I've had a few which still put an instant smile on my lips after 30 years. The hard lesson I thankfully learned: it's either get sloshed or have a one night stand. Both together tend to end in a lot more headache than the alcohol itself already causes. But reasonably sober: hell, yeah!

As a budding author, I wrote a story about a love lost, It was a dream to meet her.

Recently unexplained event reopen this wound and her realisation she had my relationship all wrong, last night I had a glowing smile from her when I entered the bar, our eyes locked, there will be a follow-up I feel coming this way.

I prefer longer engagements - either weekend-long or on more than one occasion. However, having been in a sexless marriage for many years I'd take a one-night stand or even an hour or two with an agreeable lady.

With a guy, yes

With.a woman.. maybe, but not likely

Every encounter I’ve ever had started with a one night stand. Many never went beyond that but many others did. Of course they weren’t all fantastic, but some sure were.

Love them

I don't know that I prefer a one-night stand, but I wouldn't be averse to one.

I’m not emotionally built for one-night stands.

For me there’s nothing so thrilling as meeting a new guy for the first time, so I tend to prioritise that over an existing FB.

I am not really sure that I ever started sex with the thought it would be a “one night stand” albeit being someone who is not looking for an enduring relationship a single night or just a “fuck” serves its purpose. I do have a few friends who enjoy having sex without entanglements. There are emotions involved that do endure. I am not sure that there cannot be within the scope of a friendship. I have one Lush “relationship” in which I can say that I love her but am not in love with her. She sexually nonreciprocal and has more or less shunned any cybersex. The appeal is intellectual but isn’t almost every sexual activity on Lush more literary than anything else?
