I am not morally opposed to one night stands and have no issue with the occasional one night encounter between two single adults who take precautions and go into it with eyes wide open.

I think that, in general, they are not as great as sex with a partner you are comfy with and committed to... Having said that though, there's something about balls out, screaming sweaty sex when you don't have to worry about impressing the other person or the stilted morning after chatter with someone you just fucked and let them get a good hard look at your freaky side.

When I've been out of a relationship for a while I can handle it. Too close to a relationship though and my brain won't quit.

If you know what you are in for and want just sex then they are perfectly fine in my opinion. Just two grown ups doing something they both agree on.

I've had more one night stands than anything else. Sex is sex, to me. It's just a bit better when you have an actual attachment to the person, or when you have physical compatibility. That could work in a one night stand, too.

In the past I had a few. They were ok, but not fullfilling in the long run.
nowadays there is alot more to consider about sex(or even being alone with) strangers...disease, serial killers, rapists, etc. You really can't tell with a stranger what goes on in their heads.
these days, if I can't find some sort of friendship with a man getting to know them,and have mutual attraction, I will not put myself into that situation. In fact, that is why I use toys now. But as others have pointed out--if you are on the same page, use protection and can handle the situation -why not? sometimes a warm body is just that- a warm body. Just be very, very careful.It is very risky behavior.
The best sex you can have is with someone you like very much or love especially if the feeling is mutual, and that's a fact.

I find absolutely nothing wrong with them. Two, consenting adults should be able to have one night of mindless sex if they so please!

I say no because I and people close to me have had nothing but bad experience with them. Some people I'm sure can handle them but I definitely wouldn't recommend them. Especially for your first time. Losing your virginity to a stranger is something I've been told by a few people is something they regret.

All depends on the situation and the people involved.

That definitely depends on the situation.

If one night stands are what you want or are looking for an as long as you're being careful and being safe, as in not going home with an axe murderer and practicing safe sex.... then go for it!

DITTO!!!

As long as you're fine with it, I see no problem with them.

For me, no. Just the way I'm wired to think and relate to people. But I don't have a problem with other people doing it. As long as they're smart about it (ie condoms, birth control.) If they're being dumb about sleeping around, I wanna smack 'em.

Depends on what you mean by OK.

For me, no.

For someone I am with in the past, not a deal breaker by any means, but is does show a difference in values between us.

For others, I have no objection to how other people choose to act.

Its up to the person to choose what they want to do in their life. I personally wouldnt enjoy one night stands.

I don't think there's anything wrong with them at all. Be responsible about it: understand the health risks (STDs, pregnancy) and the safety risks (make sure someone knows where you are in case something goes wrong)... but those things apply to sex in a normal relationship too.

One night... one day... hell somewhere between breakfast and lunch for that matter if he's hot enough!

I think there okay if you feel they're okay. It shouldn't really matter what anyone else thinks as long as you are comfortable with it.

Although they're certainly not for me, if both parties are willing and it doesn't hurt anybody, it's their business.

Sure, so long as you practice safer sex, why not?

I have been on both sides of the coin for one night stands, both being the one night stand and being the one looking for one. I think that they can be both hard and fun at the same time. There is the chance of having the emotional connection creating a problem when the truth of it being a one night stand comes out, but they can also be alot of fun i think.
