One Night Stand?

Question

I just turned 24 on the 1st of this month. I've only been sexually involved with one person, and now I'm ready to explore relationships with more people. I recently joined Tinder and have been chatting with a guy for about a week and a half. It’s been nice and fun connecting with him. We both want to meet up, and I’m seeking advice on whether I should go for it or not.

Answer

Has the entirety of your conversations been about sex? If you’re interested in exploring other relationships Why is this posed as a one night stand question? You should never have someone to your house or go to theirs that you haven’t at least met in safe public spaces a few times.

Answer

Meet in public first. Nothing wrong with casual sex but you need to be safe and get to know him before you’re alone somewhere.

Answer

If you want to have one night stands, make sure you’re being safe and everyone is on the same page. 
That being said, this isn’t a one night stand. You’ve been talking to him for weeks. A 1 night stand is when you meet someone, have sex with them that day, and never talk to them again.

Answer

Let's look at the different relationships people have when it comes to getting close. The one you may find best for you, often depends on your upbringing, needs - physically and emotionally, and personality. This is a decision that only you can make for yourself. Our opinions are immaterial. It is your body and life, it is your choice..
First up, you've got the one-night stand. Think of this as a "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" kind of deal. It's just a quick, physical connection with someone, and there's no real expectation of seeing them again. It's like a pop-up shop for intimacy – there for a moment, then gone. For women, the expectation of, you know, fireworks (aka orgasm) in these situations can be pretty low. There's often less chatting, less comfort, and basically, less effort on ensuring everyone has a good time beyond the immediate physical act. Plus, how you were raised and what you believe can really make you feel great or totally conflicted about it afterwards. Some people are just wired to be okay with this kind of fleeting connection, while for others, it just doesn't sit right with their core values.
Then there's the friends with benefits (FWB) situation. This is when you're already friends with someone, and you decide to add some physical fun into the mix, but with a big, flashing neon sign saying "NO ROMANCE, PLEASE!" It's like having your cake and eating it too, in theory. You get the comfort of knowing the person and the physical side, without all the pressure of a relationship. For women, the chances of orgasm here might be a bit better than a one-night stand because there's at least some existing comfort and communication. But still, since it’s not really a romantic thing, the focus might not always be on making sure you reaches the peak. Again, your personal rulebook and how you grew up really factor in here. If you're someone who thrives on freedom and less emotional fuss, this might be your jam. But if you secretly crave more, it can get tricky quickly.
Next, we have the general umbrella of a sexual relationship. This is basically any connection where sex is happening. It's a really broad term! It could be super casual or super serious; the main thing is that intimacy is part of the picture. So, both a one-night stand and a deep, committed partnership technically fall under this. When it comes to a woman's pleasure, it really depends on how emotionally invested both people are and how much they actually talk to each other. The more trust and communication there is, the higher the chances of a mutually satisfying experience. Your values and who you are as a person definitely guide which kind of sexual relationship you're drawn to. Some personalities are just more open to exploring different facets of sexual connection without needing a strict label.
And finally, the big one: the romantic relationship. This is where things get truly deep. We're talking feelings, genuine affection, commitment, and usually, a desire for a long-term partnership. It’s not just about the physical; it’s about sharing your life, supporting each other, and building something together. In these relationships, women generally report the highest rates of orgasm. Why? Because there's usually a ton of trust, open communication, and a real desire from both sides to ensure mutual pleasure. Partners learn each other's bodies and needs over time. Your upbringing and personal values often scream "YES!" to this kind of connection, as it aligns with deeper needs for bonding and security. And personality-wise, if you're someone who craves deep connection, loyalty, and emotional intimacy, this is probably where you feel most at home. It’s about building a true partnership.

Answer

Yes explore if you feel called to do so. Just make sure you are no longer in a committed relationship before doing so.

Answer

Baby girl, 
You are worth more than that. You are special. A one night stand isn’t worth getting some sexual disease and giving yourself to a stranger who doesn’t love you. 
Sex is a gift made by God and an intimate special way that was made for only you and your husband. 
If you decide to go through with a one night stand as the world will encourage you to do. Just know there is spiritual ties involved and you will create an appetite for this immoral behavior. 
I hope you choose to do right and realize how valuable you are. 💕
