Sure I've had them when I was younger. Heck I thought we all did! I was safe of course. I know a lot of my friends had them too. The point is "no strings attached", that is just it. I wouldn't do it now.

I never have and never will, but I know people that have had several one night stands. I can see how there is a bit of a freedom, but I think that sex is about a lot more than just physical desires.

When I was young and just starting out in life, so to speak...yes one or two, but it was never done intentionally and always mutual we both knew it was just that and it was fun in a way...so I agree with Zukichucha, never say never...sometimes sex for sex sake has it's benefits...

As I said...it was when I was very much younger and I would never entertain the idea now, apart from the health risk factors, it's not something I am loking for, I want something more than a fleeting encounter and so no never again....but I'm not going to deny the memories of them....

It all depends on the situation, your state of mind. I mean you could be in a unhappy marriage for whatever reason, say you don't have sex with your partner for 4 years, then I guess anything is possible, does not matter how decent a person is.

Yes I have had a couple. They both happened after a particularly bad break up. I didn't plan to go out and have them that's for sure. I knew both of the men before hand for quite some time though. I didn't just go pick up a stranger in a bar. It wasn't necessarily about the sex, after getting cheated on by my es, I just needed to know I was still attractive. It made me feel better at the time, but it doesn't really change anything in the long run.

Yes I did when I was single. I think a lot of people have and still do. Of course you have to be careful. I was always using protection.
