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 😩

You can have a shower with them first. ONS don’t need to be seedy hook-ups behind the pub you know.

Arh, but some people need to believe this to look down on other women 😀

How can these be one night stands if the people are still together?

One night stands are by definition ships passing in the night scenarios or a dreadful mistake never to be repeated.

A wonder if anyone’s going to comment on a new best or worst ONS tomorrow 🤔

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

Calling somebody you've been with twenty years a one night stand is absurd. It just means they slept together immediately (nothing wrong with that).

It's just an attempt by a person to sound risqué when actually they've a very normal, functional, stable and ordered relationship.

Gets on my wick.

In recent years I have occasionally used Tinder to scratch the divorced single mum itch. Have met maybe half a dozen men, and two stand out for opposite reasons.

Worst wants someone who was significantly larger in real life than in the photos. Not necessarily a deal breaker but it restricted his mobility. That combined with an unbelievably squeaky hotel bed meant that we could only do it doggy style on the floor. Made me feel like a piece of meat, but luckily it was over very quickly. I think we both knew we'd never contact one another again.

Best was one I still think about five years on. He was so smiley from the very first moment, great kisser, gentle. We had lovely sex, he was attentive and it just felt wonderful and safe and we both came and it was glorious. Afterwards we just lay on top of the duvet staring at the ceiling for ages just chatting. It was fab. We tried to meet again but circumstances and COVID meant that we couldn't. Oh well.

Worst ONS was when i was younger, holiday in Magaluf with friends, got separated and ended up going back to some hotel room with this random guy i met. In the morning i woke up and he and his friends were there non of them could speak English, never again, had a bit of a walk back to my hotel in my clubbing clothes at like 11am in the morning.

Best was at a wedding reception, met a couple a really clicked with them ee chatted for most of the night had a few drinks together and carried on back at their room. Totally unplanned but a lovely experience i still do keep in contact with them just a friends.

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!

Was he a younger bloke? Doesn't sound like many men in their 40s I know...

Can't think of anything worse, I need to be sure of someone's hygiene levels long before that.....sweaty pub crotch is not on my radar.

Sweaty pub crotch 🤣🤣🤣

Worst:

Newly single from a long term relationship so was out to have fun. Was away from home for the night but not too far away but staying in a Hotel so I could have a few drinks. Fella came back to my room, ONS and in the morning it was the usual 'that was fun, thanks, see you around' Went home to my small new house that I had only been in for a few weeks since splitting with my ex. Next day was stood in my kitchen window which overlooked the street and my ONS came out of the house opposite!!! I mean, what are the chances? 😂Turns out he lived directly opposite me and until the previous night we had never seen each other. We clocked one another and he looked petrified. After a while it was very obvious that he lived with a woman that he had very obviously cheated on. Spent the next 6 months avoiding each other 😬I then moved into a new rental and never saw him again.

Best: I married him 😜

RigsbysCat · Today 08:27

Only ever had one many, many moons ago. We were both 19 and on a residential, work induction course for supermarket trainee managers.

He'd seemed really nice and kind, so I went for it against my better judgement. His knowledge of pleasuring a woman was woeful and the sex was horribly awkward, though we did chat afterwards.

Next morning couldn't find him at breakfast and when I saw him at the station as we were leaving, he totally blanked me and looked right through me like I didn't exist. Although I hadn't imagined it going anywhere, I was really upset at the callousness.

Even worse about 6 months later the cheeky fucker phoned me up (having got my number from our employer) and asked if I'd like to hook up as he'd be in my area!!

@Tiredheifer yes he was in his 40s! Had a motorbike. Also pretty sure he hadn't taken any help with viagra etc. Never come across anyone like him before or since (if you'll excuse the pun)!

Well they aren't are they? I think it's meant to sound romantic but it just sounds like they didn't understand the assignment.

Isanyonereallyanonymous · Today 08:42

I don't think I'd like to revisit my worst, as it wasn't my finest hour (got too drunk, was sick at some point and on my period and got a tampon stuck up there. Oh and he was a family friend 🤦‍♀️ )

Best - we met via Fab, stayed in a swanky hotel and had the hottest sex of my life. I'll spare the details given this isn't the sex forum! Repeated this once more, stayed vaguely in touch but for one reason or another didn't meet again.

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.....

That's not how sexy showers go, by definition Grin

I'm sure the ships passing in the night ones where two people just click at a hotel bar knowing they have one night together, have great sex and both will think upon it fondly are romantic.

Copping off with Dave at the pub because nobody else was there that either of you particularly fancied and him pissing off afterwards not so much.

After all, if you really liked each other it would be the beginning of your relationship not a ONS.

There's usually alcohol involved, too.

AlwaysExtraHot · Today 08:54

Can't think of one best but have had a few where it's been good sex and then perfectly nice 'OK, bye' afterwards. TBH the best part for me anyway was always when you met/flirted etc and you knew you were going home together. That sense of anticipation is one of the best feelings around IMO.

Worst was the specimen who, when I wanted him to go down on me, froze, looked petrified, muttered, 'I don't do that,' gathered his things and scuttled off.

I have to say there are some on here that are rape/sexual assault rather than bad ONS.

Fluckle · Today 08:55

Only had one ONS, decided it was something I wanted to try after a hard divorce.

Cracking date, had such a laugh, lots of good sex, and thought that would be it. We both knew we weren't each other's type but we got on like a house on fire. A few weeks later we started chatting again, we've become really good friends. We've never gone back to anything sexual, not even flirting, and both gone onto other relationships. We've met each other's partners, friends and families. Always funny to explain to others that we're friends who met on Tindr, but a ONS led to a valued friendship. Meeting for dinner and a catch up tomorrow in fact. Failed at the ONS assignment though 😁

ScaredButUnavoidable · Today 08:55

I’ve only ever had one.

He was absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

We met on a night out and we clicked instantly - he was mesmerising! Thankfully we spent so much time chatting we weren’t drinking so by the time we went to his we were both still sober so I think that probably contributed to the night being amazing.

In hindsight though I can’t believe I was stupid enough to go back to the house of a stranger. I was young though (23 I think) so that’s my excuse 🤣

SmugglersHaunt · Today 08:58

Went back to a man’s and he asked if I smoke. I said no, but then noticed a glass bong pipe thing on his bedside table. I thought it must be for cannabis. But no - he said it was for crystal meth. I (ridiculously, panicking) said: “but isn’t that bad for you?”. He replied: “I only do a little bit”.

Several minutes later (after trying to come up with a decent excuse) I managed to leave.

I’m sure he was fine, but crystal meth is a bridge too far for me

DublinDalliance · Today 09:01

NC as been on here for years

Only ever had one.

I was on a trip with the student social society to Dublin by coach. One of the lads was from Dublin so he took us to a pub out of Temple Bar. He was a local, dark hair and beautiful green eyes. We went off together and went to an all night cafe for coffee, his parents were away. It was really difficult getting hold of condoms because as he said it’s very different to England. But we did. It was actually very good sex, that night and the next morning. He wanted me to stay for the week and take me on holiday. he was a really nice lad, I remember feeding the family dog in the morning as I woke up first. He dropped me off at the hostel.

It was years ago, I had not forgotten about it but hadn’t thought of it for a long time. He had wanted us to see each other again. It just wasn’t going to be practical though. I did just look him up out of curiosity and looks like he has done well, I am pleased for him.

Whattheflush · Today 09:02

I've had some bad ones but the best one was at a wine trade fair. He was young and tanned and French and sexy and I was just drunk enough to be relaxed and uninhibited and it was SO HOT. Back to his hotel and we went at it all night. Gosh, I hadn't thought of that in years and it's perked me up. Best think of something else before DH asks why I'm smiling!

Skyflier · Today 09:06

the worst one I had was actually awful and sad in equal measure. Handsome guy at work asked me out. I knew his GF had died about 2 years before. Had a lovely night and went back to his. Started kissing and fumbling and he came before we even got clothes off. Second attempt he came as soon as he was inside me then he started crying and I spent ages comforting him before he fell asleep. I woke up to find him masturbating and calling me by dead GFs name. He then cried again. I stayed til he was calmer, made him tea and gently suggested grief counselling before I left. I got a new job shortly after and never saw him again. I hope he was able to move on as he was lovely
the best was drunken sex at a music festival. No idea of his name but man he knew his way around a woman’s body.

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

If you've ever been to a nightclub and been chatted up by a man there, he was probably after a ONS.

I only had one. It was absolutely incredible. I was not light and he was a very well built Dutch guy. He carried me across the room it was hot, hot, hot. Sex was amazing. That was it. A nice memory.
