One-night stands are confusing. Only because there are many reasons as to why that took place. It could be vulnerability, the desperation or the courage you found at the bottom of your drink. No matter what reason it is, we end up asking ourselves why? We most likely ask ourselves this question during the sex if it’s far from what we expected.
Or we ask ourselves in the middle of the night when we’re sneaking off. Sometimes we’re so befuddled we don’t even remember how we ended up with our clothes off in the bedroom of this not-so-familiar person. Perhaps he was a friend that we had sexual tension with and just wanted to go for a text drive. After it all, we realize it was a bad idea (either way). So who ever the person is and however it happened we know it won’t happen again.
Temptation is the devil on all of our shoulders, and it probably the reason that the one-night stand happened in the first place. Since these situations aren’t your forte, the feeling of disgust and worry that you didn’t just do something stupid. Trying to remember if you recall using a condom since you were in a drunken stupor at the time. If you can’t remember it’s best to make an appointment with your GYN to get tested for every STD you can think of. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
If you only know as far as the person’s name, then you shouldn’t have to worry about contacting him later. Obviously the intention wasn’t to get to know each other, on a mental level at least. If the person was an acquaintance maybe you should bring it up to him later after what happened has processed in your and his mind. Of course you wouldn’t want to feel awkward around him when you see him again. After all he has seen you naked. Besides that’s not the most embarrassing part. It’s the walk of shame, after it is done.
