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've never had one! I've always imagined it would be a bit crap. Interested to see people's stories.

Same here. I've only ever slept with two men in my life. Ex boyfriend of 14 years, and my now husband. I'm in my late 30s , for context.

I always thought they would be terrible for me though. Not sure I could handle the emotional fall out from it. Still a bit interested to know from others though, that and what's it like to take drugs...another thing I can't imagine.

Best: Met at a work party. Instant connection, a whole four hours of anticipation, we both seemed to know what the other wanted in bed. Tried to make a relationship out of it but we were on different pathways.

I met up with him years afterwards. He was married. He suggested a revisit: I sad no. That finally cured me of thinking he was the one that got away!

Another best: Believe it or not, I picked him up in the street. Absolutely crazy sex but he was a nutter. Worth it for a couple of weeks, though.

Worst: Several contenders from student days. One was a beautiful man, very popular, nice person. Not very good at sex and he snored so loudly that I left in the middle of the night - he was offended. Another one I only remember because it was over in a couple of minutes. I chucked him out of my room.

I have terminated proceedings and gone home a few times, always due to porn-related behaviour. Can't remember their names, where they lived or what they looked like, only that I was rather proud of myself.

Saddest: a man I was hoping might become a relationship. Turned out he had a tiny penis and I couldn't find a way to cope. Sorry, David, you really are a lovely person!

Lucky escape from the best though eh! 😄😄

Its so sad when a connection is thwarted by penis size. But it really does matter!

Getting STDs just reading this thread.

And a healthy dollop of body shaming being thrown in for good measure, nice.

It's rather tame compared to how many men talk about women imo.

ONS with a guy at uni who was a bit of a film buff. Started quoting movie lines and talking about films while we were DTD and came after about 2 mins. Don't think I ever had a ONS after that as was so awful

I think that's funny tbh! :-)

Am amazed (if your username means you're from B'ton) that you escaped the drug part of your teens, quite rife then when I grew up.

People have ONS for so many reasons and not all will have any emotional stuff behind them.

Best: Same sex 4way. One was my regular fwb. She had friends over as well. They were watching some sport event I'd been out elsewhere then jumped in shower, expecting her friends to be gone soon. They didn't leave. I was ravaged.

Worst: I accidentally convinced her I was an alien and she ran from the flat.

My 20s were quite adventurous.

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!)

MiniLights · Yesterday 23:58

In my mid-30s I was at a conference I attended regularly and there was this really good-looking man about 40ish three seats down from me. I knew his name and we were friendly and we ended up in the bar having a drink. We were very flirty, and both single.

We headed to bed and it was amazing, really attentive, generous and he said he felt I had opened up his whole body. He hadn’t had anything like it. As we were both single we talked about having a relationship and then he said he was going away travelling for three months because he had just retired. He was actually 65. Very fit and a full head of glorious dark hair.

We did talk about being together, but I couldn’t see how it would work as my career was taking off and he was settling into enjoying his retirement. He would be 85 now if he’s still alive.

I’ve had loads over a period of 47 years, and they’ve just kept getting better. None have been bad, too many contenders for best. Older men know what they’re doing 😊.

I’ve packed it all in now. Quit while you’re ahead!

Yeah that would work. 'Hey random hook up, let's head to the bathroom and get in the shower together and you can watch me scrub my muff and retrieve the long head hairs that have migrated to my arse crack'.

That wouldn't be weird at all.....

Scrub my muff has got me in pleats 😂😂😂😂😂😂

WhatAMarvelousTune · Today 00:06

I’ve had a fair few, and I never had a notably bad one. No regrets - I did enjoy my years of fun!

IButtleSir · Yesterday 23:11

No, it means you only spent one night together.

By that definition, there would only be bad one-night stands! Rare exceptions for inescapable 'ships passing' circumstances but, on the whole, a good experience means you do it again.

I always thought you should shag 'em asap, or you'd end up wasting weeks or months getting involved - only to find it doesn't work in bed, and then you've got yourselves a fraught situation.

BCBird · Today 00:12

Never had one. Enjoyed the thread though

Platypusdiver · Today 00:13

Had loads. Some were really shit usually because they were in the 90s and both of us were pretty pissed. Had some great ones as well.

Worst: tiny tiny not that it mattered because he came in his boxers.

Most memorable for good reasons: on mushrooms

Life was fun. Life is good now with dh. Constant good sex instead of the roller coster of the randoms in the 90s.

That made me lol 😄😄

Bless him, he sounds funny, I can see why you kept hold of him

Love a respectful man as well

He's the best! Still as funny! I kept hold of a good 'un!

shapesandnoise · Today 00:19

So many dreadful ones including, in no particular order:

  1. split foreskin, bloodbath, horrified poor guy promptly left
  2. unsightly huge tower of flesh that was so big, my vagina closed for business
  3. a threesome where I preferred one guy over the other, it got so awkward
  4. a not bad session but ruined half way through when I spotted his mate sat watching in the room next door (hadn't spotted the door open).
  5. guy in a bedsit that seemed to keep mistaking the backdoor fot the front door.
Rycbar · Today 00:25

I’ve had a few. The worst was a guy I met at uni on a night out, it was average sex but after I realised I really didn’t want to stay at his house so I made some insane excuse and left. Looking back, saying I had a nosebleed when I was clearly not bleeding was ridiculous but I was 20 and drunk and thought it was genius!

Best was a guy I met travelling. Thought about him for a very long time after!!

Special mention to the guy who I did not have sex with but was very enthusiastic about other bedroom activities due to his micropenis!

Ive never had a one night stand. Ive had a couple of two night stands. And ive never quite worked out why I wanted to see them again after the first night, but not after the second time. Weird. Still dont know after all these years.

I agree that there are fewer great one night stands because they might go on to be more than that and therefore not actually be a one night stand.
And I always lived by your idea of sex asap - for me it wasn’t something I saw the benefit in putting off if I wanted to sleep with them.

But a one night stand is just that, one night. I had some good ones with people I had no desire to be in a relationship with!

Yeah you're right. Women who have baby sons with small penises should probably just get them euthanized in infancy as they won't be able to genitally gratify women looking for one stands. Their lives won't be worth living, really!
