A lighthearted thread, for men and women to join - just a distraction from the news really ❤️

Mine - never had a good one, but planning to once dd goes to school 😉
Worst - classic story - guy 'exploding' and then pulling a 'welp' face and leaving, bless him 😩

I was working in a bar at Christmas many years ago when I was 19 and we had a private party in from a premier league football club. One of the younger players stayed at the bar most of the night talking to me and ended up back at their hotel for an after party. Ended up in his room and after the deed was done, he told me he felt bad as he had a girlfriend and he then told me her name and went on about her and made me promise I wouldn’t tell anyone or sell a story. He then said I should go while it was still dark and gave me £20 for my taxi.

I was stood in the hotel car park at 4am waiting for it while he waved out the bedroom window and all the morning staff arriving for the breakfast shift were in no doubts why I was there and were giving me knowing looks.

every Saturday when the football was on tv and I saw him playing, I cringed a little.

The sex was unmemorable but his kissing technique was terrible, his tongue was like a mackerel darting in and out my mouth, there was no let up. it was a windy night and he had to leave because he was worried about his conservatory 😂.

The best, not a ons but a regular fwb. It was in the normal sense a relationship as we went on dates, enjoyed the same things, had numerous laughs which usually ended in sex but he didn't want a relationship, and me newly single didn't want one either. Although he was a commitment phobe he was perfect. This was 23 years ago and over the years our paths have occasionally crossed. He is still single and has never lived with anyone but oh I wish it could happen again.

Brilliant wasn’t it -we owned it all -the good the bad and the ugly!

And no photographic /SM evidence of any of it - the best bit!

Thank God no SM then!
For me def dodgy early 90s shenanigans- Didn’t have that many ONS and most not full sex as I was a good girl!
Best was hooking up w my friend’s friend when he came down to visit for the weekend. Fancied him in sight, he came back - unfortunately I’d come on unexpectedly so we couldn’t do full but I gave him a BJ! Would def have shagged him but a) was in b) no condoms in room.
Worst - bloke pushing head down for BJ / wasn’t gonna do that. Another Borderline coercive sex - these days it could be classed as rape but I don’t like to think that. It was supposed to be a date. I declined to see him again although he did call to ask me out again afterwards.
Met DH at 22 so didn’t have To go through more BS!

Surely the sex would be underwhelming on a ONS?

worst one got a parking ticket outside my flat and made me pay for it!!
come to think of it don’t have any that could be classed as best.

Well there’s always room for improvement 🤪

localnotail · 15/08/2026 06:23

I married young and ended up single in my 30s so decided to "have fun" as everyone suggested. Dating, sex, nightclubs. Met a lot of men and had a few ONS. None of them were any good, all crap in bed, most were boring and one got me pissed and had sex with me when I was out cold, leaving me bruised and confused in the morning. No idea if I was unlucky or what.

Best was in the early eighties during my very brief marriage, 6ft 6in USAF policeman who carried my shopping home to my RAF married quarter flat. Although not sure it qualifies as I chased him subsequently & it was in the middle of the day! God that guy could make love! Think 19 times in one weekend was our record and still my personal best!

Worst was a guy that walked me home after the traditional RAF Thursday night bop, not sure that qualifies either as I grabbed his crotch during a stand up snog thumble, he obviously came and ran away!

If you kept him (good for you), he's not a one-night stand, surely? On that basis, every relationship would be a one-night stand, including those that last sixty years.

Well ever relationship where you go to bed together on the first date.

likeitshard · 15/08/2026 04:19

My best was with a guy I felt completely in love with on holiday in my late teens. We had spent the holiday together and it was our last night.

Worst - probably with this guy I’d met that night it was in a room with my mate and his mate in the next bed also shagging - very grim.

Francestein · 15/08/2026 03:51

Ooooh - I forgot to mention the man I refer to as the “champignon”

Francestein · 15/08/2026 03:42

I jokingly refer to my DH as the worst one night stand ever - it’s been 25 years. (Or a one night stand fail).

Worst was probably not an uncommon story. I had been flirting with a guy from work, finally went on a date with him and he did things I didn’t want to do. And then I found out that he also lived with one of our supervisors. (And they weren’t flatmates.) Obviously I got myself a new job.

HelenaWaiting · 15/08/2026 03:32

Worst: Guy who thought he was Christian Grey. Started ordering me around, calling me "Slut" and man-handling me. He was shocked to the core when I smacked him in the mouth. I gathered my things and left.

Worst/Best: He couldn't get an erection and I really couldn't be bothered. We realised we didn't fancy each other and ended up ordering a takeaway and watching a film. He became one of my best friends and still is.

Worst one was what can only be described like the scene off the Inbetweenees where Will is laid on top of Charlotte and doing some sort of shuffling motion.

Oh, god. You've reminded me of one I'd wiped from memory because it was so bad 😧 He lay on my back, shuffling. I had no idea what that was about, and couldn't get him interested in anything that might result in actual sex. I didn't feel I could chuck him out because my best friends had fixed us up.

I never let my friends arrange my dates again!

ScullyD · 15/08/2026 03:13

Best - genuinely great chemistry and he knew what he was doing. So good I made it a two night stand!

Worst - pressured me to do more than I wanted and then wouldn’t leave the next day! Had to enlist my flatmate to help him shove him out the door.

Daygloboo · 15/08/2026 00:42

Ive just remembered why i didnt see one of them after the second night. He was a dentist and he almost broke my jaw when he kissed me. Seriiusly. Im wondering if he was trying to drum up a bit of business.

Drum up a bit of business

😂

potatocrates · 15/08/2026 02:15

I never understand how people have one night stands. No one has ever shown an interest in having one with me.

Is it time for sleep or to put the bottle down?

It's ok, body shamer, I don't drink and it's daytime where I am.

ThisAutumnTown · 15/08/2026 02:07

The absolute worst lasted genuinely 10 seconds. It was so awkward that I just asked him to leave. 🤷‍♀️

I can’t think of any particularly good ones but that one was awful!

OfcourseitsaNC · 15/08/2026 01:33

Love this thread!

Best: Staying over in a village pub, I connected with a guy at the bar. First and only person to ever talk dirty to me that got me going. Dtd 5 times through the night. He really knew what he was doing. We had an amazing time. We had breakfast together, then he got on a plane to the Philippines.

Worst: Went out with a friend who was trying to cheer me up. Got pissed. Put my hand on a strangers knee at a shared table and within 10 mins we were snogging. I went back to his. He couldn't get hard as he'd had too much coke. I was polite about it and suggested we did other stuff. He went down on me. Not good.

In the morning, he couldn't remember my name, but wanted to swap phone numbers. I said I don't think so. In retaliation he said that I really needed to tidy up my pubes, as they were too long and I should get waxed or shave them off. I laughed in his face and got in my taxi.

Haven't thought about him in many years I have to say lol and im lying in bed here really annoyed I cant remember his name! It will come back to me but Im drawing a blank just now!

But yes. The sex was amazing!

How on EARTH did you accidentally convince her you were an alien?? Details needed!!

(Have never had a ONS, for full disclosure, but really enjoying this thread!)

I am a big dr who fan and at the time had a wardrobe in the shape and style of the tardis. Then she felt the 'strings' of my IUD freaked out asked what it was and I turned to her and in full impression "exterminate". She wasn't very bright, and may have been on something...

StormInaDcup99 · 15/08/2026 01:06

Met this Scottish guy from Elgin who was over in my neck of the woods to watch a big motorbike racing event.

We managed to have sex seven times in about four hours! And it was truly amazing!

As soon as he came he would immediarely get hard again.....and I managed to come on top for the first and only time ever. He was also rather well endowed, although I struggled massively to understand his strong accent. But to be fair we werent talking a lot lol.

This was about 15 years ago when I was in my 40s....a very memorable night!

He could seriously could have been a porn star as his stamina was something to behold!

I'd love to meet him!
