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 😩

Had a bad ons with a guy who was useless like many only focused on his own pleasure and then left skids on my sheets.
Best was a guy I met in a nightclub never got his name but he took me to heaven and back again many times with his tongue. Sex was good but I still had shaking legs from the oral foreplay!

Back in the early 80s. I was about 21. Bumped into my ex boss who was about 15 years older. Probably good looking in his 20s but a bit overweight, balding. I was going through a bit of a bad time, he invited me out for a drink and I accepted. We ended up at his house and after a lacklustre "performance" he said to me "I bet you think Im old fat and past it, dont you"
I told him no, I dont think that at all. Then he looked me up and down with a contemptuous look and declared "well you're no Miss World, are you!!"
Last i heard, about 20 years ago he was on his third divorce.
Hardly surprising really!!

I am not judgemental about one night stands but I don't necessarily think they're anything to be proud of.

Men aren't that choosy especially once drunk so having ons are not a badge of honour.
Oh look I've had one night stands. Who cares?
Most of them aren't ons anyway-just people effectively sleeping together on what will be retrospectively be the first date.

Yeah I'm sure a few cases are genuine cases where the people involved would have sex again if not for circumstances but most are grubby as f*

Why would anybody admit to them? It's admitting to be the sort of person who is laissez-faire about personal safety.

Plus of course you don't know who you're dealing with.

For someone purporting to be not judgemental thats a very judgemental post.
Unclutch your pearls!!

I'm not sure anyone on here has talked about ONS as if they're 'a badge of honour', have they?

KojaksLollipop · 15/08/2026 14:20

I’ve ONSs where there was no alcohol involved and shock horror, when thats all I wanted, no being used involved by either of us. Just moments of pleasure. Not all ONSs involve loads of alcohol and quickness… although I’ll be honest about those too, they have their place. I was always very happily single, absolutely didn’t want a boyfriend, but I wanted sex do that’s what I did, sometimes fwb sometimes just as ships which passed in the night. Don’t judge us all by what you want for yourself.
I’ve been married for over 20 years now, it’s all a long time in my past, mostly in the 80s snd early 90s. No regrets.

Temporal · 15/08/2026 14:34

Guy here. Best? Possibly a girl on holiday in Faliraki in the early 90s. I was 27, she was 20, and we had sex three times on the beach in one night, and it was absolutely amazing. I've never forgotten it. Worst? Girl I met in a pub during an afternoon drinking session. Went back to her place and started to get down to it. Her fanny stank like week old fish. It was so overpowering, it hit me almost like a punch when it wafted up...

Getting down to some heavy petting with my ONS in his caravan. He started taking his clothes off sexily but was wearing huge incontinence pants. Not his fault I know and very shallow of me but really, REALLY off putting. Made my excuses and got the hell out of dodge Confused

GreyCarpet · 15/08/2026 15:51

I once had a once night stand with someone who was just so bad, I stopped him part way through and said, "Nope. I can't do this." Got up, got dressed and drove home 😁

Tableforjoan · 15/08/2026 15:53

So I decided to have a one night fun with a guy who had been chasing me. 19 years later three children and marriage he hasn’t left 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Just out of curiosity, without going into graphic detail, what was he doing that was so hopeless that you stopped it.

Jesus, are Orwell's language police on this thread?
I suppose one should put a massive 'LIGHT-HEARTED' banner before anything that anyone could find something to remotely object to.

And it's interesting how you change your direction of attack rather than engaging with my response to your last one.

“This specimen of a woman wouldn’t give me a blowjob!”

”oh lighten up I was only joking”

My best one night stand - a drunken uni night out in 1999, bumped into a gorgeous boy on the dance floor… 27 years later, 4 children later, and the one night stand is still going!

I'm not sure you understand what a 'one' night stand is.

Just really passive, I think. And silent. And a bit clueless. I hate the phrase but I think i just 'got the ick'.

“This specimen of a woman wouldn’t give me a blowjob!”

”oh lighten up I was only joking”

Context is important, don't you find?

'This specimen of a woman wouldn’t give me a blowjob! I guilt-tripped her, and tried holding her head so she got the message, but no.'

Or
'This specimen of a woman wouldn’t give me a blowjob! I suggested it once, I didn't wheedle, or guilt-trip, or try to force her head down. Her immediate response was to grab her things and scuttle off.'

I do thank you. We were strangers. We met and had sex the same night. We didn’t swap numbers. Neither of us ever expected to see each other again. Neither of us were looking for commitment. I’d say that constitutes a one-night stand. We just happened to bump into each other again and ended up married with children.

It absolutely does not constitute a one night stand, though.

The fun police has arrived. I made a jokey comment about my intended one night stand that actually ended up with marriage. I don’t think we need to dissect the dictionary definitions of the phrase. Have a nice evening.

Oh ok. I get it. I had visions of him getting in all sorts of weird positions or going.about things as if he was mending a car engine or something. 😃

BakewellGin1 · 15/08/2026 16:56

Best I've had two.

One a lad I met on holiday age 22 in a club. It was never going to be anything else but we had met several times amongst our groups of friends and decided to spend the night together knowing how it would end. Explored the beaches as the sun was coming up. Probably my best experience to date.

The other was someone I knew well and we spent a lot of nights out together as friends, always with an attraction. We walked home one night and stopped off on the way. Nothing changed in our friendship.

Worst was someone who I expected to be much better then he was. He talked the talk but absolutely could not walk the walk.

sammylady37 · 15/08/2026 17:17

Worst:
a few contenders, one guy who asked me if he had cum… he was wearing a condom, I’m not sure how he thought I’d know if he didn’t. Another who was just awkward and dull. Another guy I had met on a hook up site, we’d already met for lunch and after that planned a hook-up night. He got to the hotel first and checked in. Turns out he’d brought Tupperware boxes of chopped fruit, the boxes lined with kitchen paper, and the fruit all neatly chopped… I got the ick massively.

Best was one of two guys, one who was a blind date my friend set me up on. I was experiencing a serious sex drought (6 years!) and went on the date without hope or expectation, for a variety of reasons. Turned out to be wild, passionate sex. Another time, I had a planned ONS with a guy I’d met on a fetish site. He was based in the U.K. and I’m not, so when we initially started chatting it was just nice to chat to someone who shared a fairly niche kink interest, and I never anticipated we’d ever meet. 12 months later, we were still chatting regularly, so in a moment of madness I booked flights to go over to see him and indulge our mutual kink. And glory be, it was magnificent. The most erotic, filthy, thrilling, incredible encounter I’ve ever had. If only he lived nearer!

Traitorsclaudia · 15/08/2026 17:39

Best - met a guy in a club, brought him home, he went down me for ages, didn't expect anything in return. I was a mess at the time though so never called him back.

Worst- either the colleague I flirted with for 2 years who turned out to be rubbish in bed or the guy who shaved his whole body and looked like a baby with a beard.
