One night stands can be awesome!
You get a no-strings attached orgasm and the next day you go back to your life - that’s that. But there are risks involved.
Here's what to remember:
1. Consider the person you’re doing it with
If the person you’re about to hook up with is a stranger then this is probably less of an issue for you, even though you must be safe because he might be some serial killer. If you do know the person, make sure he’s the kind of person who will respect you, so that not everyone in the next morning will find out what you’re like in bed.
2. Practice safe sex
Be sure to protect yourself; you don’t want to find yourself with an unintended pregnancy or end up at a clinic with an itchy vagina. It’s important that you are aware of the risks so that you know what you’re about to get yourself into.

3. Don’t drink too much
We get that you may feel you need some courage for what you’re about to do by having a drink, sober sex is good too. And if you’re too drunk to know what you’re doing, the condom might not end up where it’s supposed to or not used at all. If you’re too drunk they may do things you’re uncomfortable with.
4. Consider the place you’re going to do it
You must make sure where you’re going to have sex is a safe place. Bringing them to your place is preferable. You should let your friends know your whereabouts and you can even ask your friend to sleep over at a guest room at your place.
