Gourmandize

Whether it be because you're coming out of a long dry spell, you're just "having fun" being single or are recently single and need to fill the void, here are 10 things you should know about one-night stands.

1. 80% of men feel positive after a one-night stand compared to 54% of women.

2. offering to make breakfast is nice but unnecessary

Remember this when you offer to make her breakfast the next day, and she looks at you like an alien, then says she has to get home asap to change the cat litter. 

3. cuddling is totally okay.

Just because you're using each other's bodies for one night doesn't mean you have to shrink away from them after the deed is done. A post-coital cuddle can help suppress a woman's need for more sex, which means she'll be less likely to associate this feeling with needing more of you.

4. if you have a certain gene, you might be more prone to one-night stands.

It's called DRD4, and researchers from State University of New York at Binghamton have found that those who possess it are more likely to engage in promiscuous behavior and sexual infidelity.

5. men care less about looks than women for a one-night stand.

But when it comes to real-deal, long-term relationships, the opposite seems to be true. 

6. if you want to blow her mind, you'd better not forget the foreplay.

A one-night stand doesn't have to be a wam-bam thank you, m'am kind of thing. The more you turn her on, the better the overall sex will be. Why would you want to have mediocre one-night stands anyway?

7. it might lead to a relationship.

Chances are it won't, but if you met an amazing girl and had amazing first-night sex, and you were emotionally available, wouldn't you want to see her again?

8. usually you can't tell if someone has an sTD or not.

Unless they've got blatantly obvious genital warts or other outward symptoms, anyone can be carrying a sexually transmitted disease without their knowing (or worse, knowingly). In other words, ALWAYS use protection!

9. Women are secretly hoping you're well-endowed.

Sorry, dudes (if this applies to you). A published study by the Public Library of Science found that women who are just looking to get busy prefer a penis size of 6.4 inches in length and 5 inches in circumference.

10. ladies with wider hips are more inclined to do it.

A study from Leeds University indicates that women with a hip width of 14.2 inches or more are more DTF than those who with 12.2 inch-wide hips or less.
