One night stands - good or bad?

I just wondered if anyone here has done any of the following, and if so, what are their thoughts on it generally?


:arrow: Met someone from the Internet for casual sex
:arrow: Gone home or taken someone home from a night out
:arrow: Been asked to part-take in either of the above?

At the risk of being brutally honest, it's a yes for all three for me.

Whether "good" or "bad" is a much more tricky question. Certainly I woudn't suggest that casual sex is emotionally fullfilling, but it does scratch an itch in a physical way.

Internet portals for sexual liaisons are a relatively new thing, but in short order have been responsible for massively increasing truly 'casual' sex.

Previously a night in the pubs and clubs, or worse - cruising certain locales late at night was required for a gay bloke to pick up. Now its a simple, and very much more comfortable process of logging on to a site. Its also 'portable' as most of these sites have global coverage.

In my view the easier it gets, the more disquietened I feel about it. The more I make use of it, the more I would prefer to have something more stable and steady.

But will I still feel this way when Friday/Saturday rolls around and I find myself alone in my flat with a broadband connection?

er..

Bad, but it's taken me a long time to reach that conclusion.

Like Gavin, I can answer yes to all three questions.

I used to love them, but in the last year or so, I have completely lost interest in them. If push came to shove, I'd do them again if and when the opportunity presented itself, but I am no longer actively seeking them.

For the longest time, I devalued women and forgot what it is I love (and hate) about them. This was simply because I was focused on the single goal - sleeping with them.

Ever since changing, I've had nowhere near as much action (but I've had some, don't worry!) but my interactions with women have been far more pleasurable.

Yes to all three. Erm... several times.

I get bored of it sometimes though, but still seem to go back for more!! :?

"Well we certainly can be grateful for that."

That's what I'd say if I didn't respect you.

How about a one-night-sandwich?

I can answer 2 out of 3.
I've never met anyone from the internet for casual sex.

Yeh, but how about SERIOUS sex?
