One Night Stands...

One night stands... such a controversial topic. We've all thought about it. Most of us have done it or will do it. But the question is, "Is it right?" My answer? Almost always it's cool to have a one night stand so long as you're responsible about it. That means condoms. That means knowing whether or not you can emotionally handle that nothing may materialize beyond the morning after. That means being willing to deal with the consequences of such a choice like pregnancy and the like. And it definitely means keeping it real with those whom you choose to be intimate with.

Many people wonder about whether having sex too quickly makes you a hoe. I generally don't think so as long as you're honest with yourself about what you're getting into. Although it's true that many men will consider women who give it up to be hoes, in my opinion, that attitude reflects a blatant hypocrisy that men rarely admit to. There ultimately should be no difference between a man choosing to have sex quickly and a woman making the same choice. However, I'm kidding myself to think that the world will see it that way, and I'm kidding myself to think that men will recognize the hypocrisy.
