Say like a guy in the club you really fancied.

I think the OP is talking about meaningless one time sex with a stranger - it doesn’t sound like your situations will provide enough moral outrage for her

Well that was the point the first time with each - they both just kept coming back. I had zero feelings for either of them and both were men I wouldn't date.

They must have been good in the sack 😬

Not with a stranger now due to safety.
but if I was away at a wedding or something and got to know someone I fancied then why not, I’ve done before

I have and no regrets. And will again. Sometimes you have an itch that needs to be scratched. Although usually it has been a day time thing and not a sleep over. I prefer day time sober sex and having a drink afterwards.

My sister bedded a man at a mutual friend’s wedding within a couple of hours of meeting, she’s been married to him for years. She jokes that he was easy.

I did a few times in my younger uni days. I’ve been married 20+ years now so obviously not now. If I were single though I’m not sure I could do it, the thought of being intimate with anyone else is pretty scary! I hope to never have to!

God no. No interest whatsoever in sharing body fluids with a complete random.

No worse than sharing bodily fluids with someone with whom you are familiar.

No thankyou I respect myself more

lol.

InfoSecInTheCity · 11/05/2026 20:53

I’m happily married and been with him for 26 years so no, but if for any reason in the future I found myself not married and wanting sex I think ONS’s would be the option I’d go for. I can’t see myself ever wanting to be in a serious or long term relationship with any other man so it would just be a transaction to scratch an itch when needed.

Twiglets1 · 11/05/2026 21:03

I had a one night stand 33 years ago.

Reader, I married him.

I had several which went knowhere
However my dh was supposed to be a ONS and here we are 21 years later two kids etc
I think we are probably the exception rather than what normally happens.

I suspect that is more common than you think.

I did. Ended up marrying him 😂

Millindugu · 12/05/2026 18:10

I would love to but as a 38 year old mum with a saggy horrible body the question is if anyone would have a ONS with me!?

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 12/05/2026 18:16

Lots of intended ONS - I think what separates those from the type that the OP is judging is that the ‘intended’ ones are just shagging on the first date (and then something growing from that).

The ones she is judging are those where there is no connection of any description - it’s just cold hard sex, with no names and no desire to ever set eyes on them again 🤣

I was never attractive in any way - it never held me back. Usually involved both parties being fairly shitfaced though - if one fancies the other it defeats the object!

coffeetimeee · 12/05/2026 18:21

Have done in the past, would do now (and have done recently). 38yo single mum. Sex can be just about sex and if everyone involved has consented then I say go ahead!

StarlightLady · 13/05/2026 07:24

40 something woman here. Yesterday! It was lovely! Not really one night, all daylight hours. 🥳

People. Stop feeding the OP who's just farming for content.

Why?

It's a discussion forum. Nobody cares either way except you. Either participate or don't. You aren't the postings manager.

Whatifitallgoesright · 14/05/2026 15:29

Yeah fair enough. All I see is judgyness and the suspect short answers from the OP. Happy to bow out.

I have to bow out of so many threads too.
