The one night stand! It’s an infamous situation. It’s regarded as either a symbol of conquest or desperation – you either do it because you want some casual sex, or because you feel you just need some. Although it might seem like a great way to relieve your sexual tension, a one night stand can bring with it all kinds of unwelcome emotional baggage. You might feel guilty or dirty about the whole thing, but really that’s silly.

“I can’t believe I just did that…”
Don’t be guilty! It doesn’t matter how drunk you were, or how unattractive she was, or what kind of demeaning sexual act you vaguely remember performing under the influence of all that alcohol. The golden, shining truth is this:
It’s just sex.
Everyone will to do it at some point.
You probably enjoyed it at the time.

What if she’s pregnant?
Why weren’t you using birth control? If you were, then the chances of a pregnancy occurring are exceptionally low, so don’t worry about it. If you weren’t, then you should have been, but if you really think about it, you’re probably aware that happy couples often have to try for ages before they actually conceive. The chances are that you probably haven’t produced any offspring from your one night stand, but this is not an excuse to avoid safe sex practices.
Do I have an STI?
If you used a condom, no. There’s an extraordinarily small chance, but not one big enough to worry about. If you were not using a condom, or are worried you might have an infection, then you should talk to a doctor. The good news is that most Sexually Transmitted Infections is easily treated.

Everyone goes through periods in their life when they don’t have a serious relationship for a while. The fact that you had a one night stand means you must be attractive to the opposite sex, so don’t worry about it. Sooner or later, you’ll find a girl to suit you.

The important points are that it’s okay to have casual sex as long as you practice safe sex and that one night stands are nothing to be ashamed of. As long as the other person wanted to have sex too, you’ve simply done a natural and healthy thing. If you accidentally did that natural and healthy thing because you were incredibly drunk, then that’s also okay – but maybe you should only get drunk around friends who can look after you in future!
