Looking to get some action with a one-night stand? Anindita Ghosh provides you with a set of precautions to make the night exciting, adventurous, and worry-free.
If you go by international statistics, one-night stands (ONS) are hugely popular among those looking to get some quick action. A study of 1,000 participants by medical portal zavamed. com, had 66 per cent of the participants saying they had had at least one ONS in their life. And another 2018 Norwegian study found that women were quite happy with an ONS, as long as they initiated it and enjoyed the encounter.
While the data for ONS in India is quite sketchy, there is no doubt that with the advent of dating apps and people more open to different experiences, hookups and casual sex are on the rise in the metros and Tier 2 cities. According to Delhi-based sexual medicine specialist Dr Mehak Nagpal, today, there is “a nonjudgmental approach to accepting young people as sexual beings, and engaging constructively with them is currently more important than preaching about abstinence.”
So whether it’s a guy you meet on Tinder, or a friend’s friend you met at a party, or even just a friend whose benefits you decide to exploit, the opportunities for a casual sex encounter are many, if you are eager and available. But while it may be a fun, liberating experience, it could also go awry if you don’t take a few basic precautions. Follow these few guidelines and you will be good to get some action without feeling sorry after!
