One night stands/Casual sex - what is going on in people's mind? How does it happen?

So I've been thinking , hearing much tale... well... seeing much too in fact now I'm in a dorm.
Casual sex and "one night stands" are a pretty common thing.

This got me thinking... how does it happen?
What is people thinking?

So people are just walking around feeling horny , they see someone they like so they decide to make a hotdog together?

Just... how?

Is there some application form I have to fill in?

I thought the Sims series were joking about how relationships works but as an observer jesus christ , the sims are getting REALLY uncanny.

  • When it happened with me, I went over his house to "watch movies" but I think we both felt the sexual tension (he was a tatted model after all). That tension built up when were snuggling and we kissed, then clothes came off and walah - it happened. I don't think about it much and sometimes I can't believe it happened.

    Honestly, I wasn't horny, it was more for the experience and I wasn't thinking much about it. If I did think much, I would've backed out. It was just a lot of nervous adrenaline and my main concern was the use of a condom which he wisely did.
    It felt natural though. It's what animals do and we're animals. Naturally, we're polygamous animals where guys are meant to have a quickie with many girls to spread their genes whilst the women care for the offspring but emotional intelligence has caused us to become monogamous.

    Then he never spoke to me again and deleted me off everything, despite being good friends for a year. (y) #guys

    • That's a royal bummer :/ So I guess in a nutshell... "shit happens" eh...

    • Yes exactly haha. Thanks for MHO!

  • I guess it's just people being horny and curious, especially if it's in college/uni. Also I guess peer pressure could have something to do with it in some cases.

    I don't mind one night stands, as long as both partners are honest that it is a one night stand and not leading to something more (and trust me I've had cases of guys putting on a whole show of how I totally amazed them and want to now be with me. And then they never called. - ok I don't know why i'm speaking in plural, 1 of 2 one night stands that i've had in my life turned out like that).

    What I find kind of I don't know what word should I use... disturbing? Or I don't know, what bothers me more is that since I started university/college, everyone seems to only be looking for one night stands and hookups. It's almost like.. is there even any hope for such a thing as a relationship to start during like college years?

  • I don't and never have done one nighters. I have, and am, however, a fan of casual sex. My first fuck buddy was my neighbor, and had about six of us on the side. He taught me some good things, but when it was time to move on we did.

    Currently, my fuck buddy and I meet about every other week, usually a Tuesday. I like his beard, its sexy. He actually planned the whole deal, though I wasn't aware of it til later. He invited me over to his place for my birthday. Since he'd been quite clear months before that he wasn't interested, I didn't think anything of it. My bad... but it was great. And, well. It just keeps going. I think I'll be sad when its time to move on from this one. He really knows how to make me orgasm, which I can really only say for fuck buddy number 1 before him. Rarely if ever happened with the exclusive boyfriends.

  • You're out in a club or bar (or maybe a party), you see someone really really cute. They seem to think you're really cute too. You're both consenting adults, why not enjoy yourselves? It could be argued that "all this courtship business? Pretending not to be interested and waiting to make moves, what are you thinking? You both want the same thing, why dance around the subject?"

  • Im not in college yet cuz im 17 so i dont know for sure how it happens in college but in highschool i just go to oarties or throw parties and usually some chickd will flirt with me and i pick out the hottest and hook up with them. Try going to parties and see what happens. If no girls come to you, go to them.

  • You go out to some club, you drink, your inhibitions are lowered. Someone hot catches your eye, he comes up to you, or starts dancing with you, making out can happen. It's all just an escalation of physical contact, man. It's just a primal thing, I guess.

  • In many cases of one night stands, booze is usually involved. Usually tequila. So i recommend investing in that or a girlfriend.

    • Oh and im going to print out that application in a min... I HAVE to have that.

  • Someone goes to a bar, party, etc; drinks stuff, talks to someone, drinks some more, makes out with that someone, keeps drinking, makes out more, thjngs get touchy, drinks some more, someone suggests going home or to the bathroom, the other person says yes, bang bang cum cum.
    The end.

  • yes people are horny, sometimes they act like animals reacting to eachothers smell. :D sex is fun, people in your dorms are young and they're just enjoying themselves

    • I've heard about the names of 5 deities being shouted loudly late at night to the sound of rocking furniture so far. Either they are VERY loyal followers of a religion or they are being touched by god.

    • well I think during that moment they sure feel like they are being touched by god :D

  • LOL! At that freaking application form "application for a piece of ass" 😂😂

    *dies on the floor from laughter*

  • easy & free cure for stress. ( in some cases. ) sure beats cigarettes !
    benefits both, y Not?

    Vultures, scavenging on the leftovers.

  • Application form lol 😅😂
    I think it usually happens at the bar, party or the club. Some people go there to hook up i heard 🙊

  • Horny
    people have needs and depending on how much one can control their sexual desires

  • Hahaha! I like the way you presented your question.

    About my answer, well I guess that boils down to one of our most important human needs: LOVE AND BELONGING. Okay, so one night stands and spontaneous sex are not really acts of love, but they provide this sense of belongingness that both men and women want. We have tons of reasons, loneliness, anger, sexual attraction towards that person, but even with no sexual attraction, people still engage to this. Why? Because that one night, or half an hour, or even 20 minutes, that brief moment human interaction of someone holding you, you feeling warmth and needed, that is something innate to us humans, we want to be needed.

  • I'd been texting some guy that my sister got me talking to, we both went to my sisters house for a movie night, he handed me one bottle of Smirnoff ice (screw lid) next thing I know I woke up the next morning with only my strappy top and skirt on- no underwear. Keep thinking he spiked my drink.

    • So basically it's a druggy druggy bangy bangy thing then

    • Pretty much. Didn't even know his name 😳

  • I was at a party with the guy. He was jealous of the guy I took to my debs/prom months back and we had a few drinks. We went back to my parents place early and had a few more drinks and he brought up something about the prom and before I knew it he kissed me and one thing led to another. And that's my one night stand.

    • Uhh... okay? So there isn't like any planning involved... it just happens out of the blue? Ooooookay , so it's random...

    • Yup I didn't go and plan the thing and neither did he. We had a thing for one another for years but never acted on it. I suppose it was a lot of pent up feelings too.

    • People are weird.
