7 reasons for a one night stand
One night stands: some are strongly against it and others find it fantastic. Personally, I don't have such a strong opinion about it. Just do what feels good, I would say. Maybe not the best idea if you fall in love in no time, but hey, you have to experience everything once. Anyway, below I share 7 reasons to do it anyway. Of course, don't feel obligated.
1. One night stands don't bring you burdens
We all have our needs, but the fixed costs of a relationship, not everyone is up for that. If you're just happily single, you're not exactly jumping at the chance to be at a family birthday party again in no time. Don't forget the arguments either. One night stands give you the pleasures and not the burdens.
2. It's better than friends with benefits
Friends with benefits: unfortunately, it often means the end of friendship. On an emotional level, one night stands are much easier to handle. You don't see a future together, so why stress? You simply don't know each other well enough. With a good friend, on the other hand, a lot is at stake. So don't do it.
3. It's the perfect way to get over your ex
Whether you want to take revenge or just get over your ex: a one night stand can ease the pain. No idea if this is a solution for the long term, but it's definitely worth a try. If only to realize that there are plenty of fish in the sea.
4. It's more fun than the gym
Not in the mood for the gym? Then a one night stand is the perfect solution. With a sexual encounter lasting half an hour, you can burn up to 350 calories. The more active your role, the better, of course. Additionally, sex has a calming effect and helps against stress. So it's a hit both physically and mentally.
5. One night stands are good for your self-confidence
After being single for a long time, you might become a bit insecure and think: do I still have it in me? A one night stand is of course the way to find out. It can give your self-confidence a huge boost.
6. It's a fun experience
Opinions are divided on this, of course. But if you're a proponent of one night stands, you probably experience this as a fun time. There's nothing wrong with that. Of course, it can sometimes be disappointing, but that's a risk of the trade. A little excitement now and then can never hurt.
7. You get to know yourself better
One night stands can be a way to get to know yourself better. Maybe you were very reserved during sex in your previous relationship. Are you curious about what else you have in you? During a one night stand, you can rediscover yourself.
