The 5 steps for a successful one-night stand

By LotteLust

Imagine, you just got out of a relationship and are looking for a rebound to forget your ex as quickly as possible. Or... you're not looking at all, but you do feel like having some fun. What you need is a one-night stand. But of course, you don't want to accidentally reel in a creep, so how do you approach this smartly? LotteLust to the rescue.

Step 1. Go for the sexy stranger

Rule number one when finding a suitable one-night stand is that he cannot be someone you know. Nothing is more awkward than running into someone you had a one-time adventure with at a birthday party or a wedding. So save yourself this awkward moment and choose someone you don't know.

Step 2. Start liking

Who has time these days to visit all the clubs and cafes in search of a one-time adventure? And why would you, with all those dating apps and sites flying around? Convenience serves the (horny) human. So settle on the couch, download one of the apps, create a profile, and start swiping and liking.

Could you use some help choosing a suitable dating site? At LotteLust, we have the perfect tool for this.

Step 3. Don't reveal too much about yourself

Okay, a bit of a contradiction here, but we're talking about revealing in the sense of sharing (too) much about yourself. The only thing you should share are your preferences in bed. With a one-night stand, you can throw all forms of politeness out the window. You don't need to know what he does in daily life or what hobbies he has. The focus is on sex, so don't make it too complicated and just stick to dirty talk. We'll give you 6 reasons why.

Step 4. Play it safe

While the intention is not to get to know each other, meeting at home right away is really a no-go. You never know what you're bringing home when you meet someone for sex. No worries, it doesn't have to turn into a date. Just meet for a drink. After a drink, you can assess whether it's safe to take this guy home or to go with him.

Step 5. Don't linger

If you've gone home with him, you really don't have to sneak out right after sex. Staying with him to have breakfast together isn't necessary either. The best moment is to gather your things beforehand, give him a quick kiss, and leave.

A one-time adventure is one of the 7 must-have sexual experiences. Here we reveal the other six.
