Reasons to Avoid One-Night Stands

-619918898

One-night stands. Crazy? Yes. Enjoyable? Maybe. Romantic? Ehhh.... Whatever, you've all had them. (Well, some of you.) You're at the bar. He looks attractive.... or she? (You're too drunk to tell.) The booze is flowing, the music is, well, LOUD. You can't hear yourself think... screw thinking. Let's just go home and screw.

Initial thoughts

There is no other feeling in the world like waking up in a strange bed, in a strange apartment, next to a, uhh, stranger. Your first initial thought is usually something like, “$@&*%#, what in the H-E-double hockey sticks happened last night?” (Insert your own choice of profanity here.) Then you start observing your surroundings for clues. Are you wearing clothes? Nope. Is he/she wearing clothes? Negative. Oh look, there’s an empty condom wrapper on the floor. Ladies and gentleman, we have our verdict. GUILTY.

What does coyote ugly mean anyway?

“Have you ever woken up sober after a one-night stand and the person laying on your arm was so ugly you’d rather chew off your arm then risk waking them? That’s coyote ugly.”

(If you’ve never seen this movie then you should definately add it to your Netflix Queue.)

Please share your humiliation with the world. (a.k.a. this community guide) We love to laugh at people.

 

And then there's the one-night stand that never ends...

If you search for one-night stand in Wikipedia, you will find a sweet little definition written by a prude with a clear distinction between a one-night stand and prostitution. (They are different because there is no direct payment of money. All the drinks he/she bought for you do not count.) And then it goes over the risks. If you’re still not sure about what a one-night stand means, they provide you with a ‘See also’ list:

  • Affair
  • Emotional affair
  • Romantic friendship
  • Casual relationship
  • Anonymous sex
  • Booty call
  • Cottaging
  • Dogging
  • Group sex
  • Sexual norm
  • Swinging
My favorites would have to be anonymous sex, cottaging, and sexual norm.

Questions you will never know the answers to:

  • Why exactly am I wearing YOUR pants… backwards?
  • How could my underwear have just disappeared?
  • Why is the chair soaking wet?
  • How much did I drink last night?

Actually answers to three of your questions can be found in the 1997 feature film One Night Stand staring a Mr. Wesley Snipes

I Drink A Lot

As such, I frequently end up passing out before anything untoward can happen…
…but I am still wondering how I ended up with Peanut Butter Cookie in my hair?

The cookie was from here, but that doesn’t answer my question.

Avoid one night stands??

Default_author_xsmall

I’ve never had a one night stand, probably because I’m just such a puss. Although, really, that’s probably a good thing..

May I just say that I had what could have been a one-night-stand and then forced it into an uncomfortable relationship to avoid the stigma? True yet sad.
