One Night Stands

We've all had one, or at least thought about it. I think these encounters probably found their peak in the sixties, right after the pill, and well before the AIDS virus and Ted Bundy. Still, they aren't gone for good, we modern women just need to add a few layers of CYA.  I have some advice for any one night stand fans out there, and I'm going to end with a question, so pay attention and get your commenting fingers flexing.

First and foremost~be prepared. Don't expect your mark (hehe, bonus points if the guy you're scoping is named Mark) to have the necessary latex. A single woman of the twenty-first century should always have some raincoats at her disposal, especially when she's on the prowl for a mindless physical-only encounter.

Second~scope out a hotel. It probably gives you the willies to show a stranger where you live, and it's a lot easier to leave somewhere than to get someone to leave.  The bad part about this is that it might make you come across as a bit of a whore....hmm...think this part over.

Third~be adventurous. You probably won't see this guy again after your ONS, so go ahead. Let loose. Do the things you only read about in those erotic romances. I suggest leaving the bondage out of any ONS, just for the safety factor.

Fourth~think Captain Kirk. Kill the Klingons. Don't ask him when you'll see each other again. Don't ask his phone number, don't follow him home, and for God's sake don't write down his license plate and ask your cop friend to find out everything about him. That doesn't go over well. This is a ONS for a reason. Let him go.

Fifth~bite your tongue. There will be the temptation to call all of your girlfriends and tell them all the sordid details about the prior night. Resist. Keep this to yourself. I promise you'll enjoy it more as a dirty little secret than a notch on your bedpost. 

Sixth~stay awake. If you fall asleep, you'll end up with the awkward morning after thing. If you're really after some NSA sex, you should have no problem with a "well, that was nice," and a quick redressing and have a nice day.

Somewhere between one and two you should also make sure that your guy is legal. That could get sticky, and something you don't want to have to explain to your employers.

So what do you think? Agree with my suggestions? Think I'm way off base? Have any more pointers? Think about it, then answer me this: You and Mark have agreed to some hot NSA sex. You don't want anything but. You're a busy woman with a career and a life. No time for a relationship, and no desire for a broken heart. The chemistry is there, and after three or four hours of mattress bursting fun with him, he hints at date number two. What do you do? Give me your answers in the comments, I'd love to see what you think!
