Do I sound too conservative if I say that it's often a good idea to think twice before having a one-night stand?
- e1g 4y agoIf you see sex as a perishable intimate resource, then it’s not conservative to move slower. If you see sex as one step up from dancing, then it’s likely to still be playful in any quantity (when practiced safely and consensually)
- smcl 4y agoIt depends what you mean by “think twice”. It could be that you’re saying that you should not be reckless - to be extra sure you both have the same expectations from the encounter, that you both consent, that neither one of you is beyond the point of being able to properly give that consent (ie you and partner aren’t completely intoxicated), that nobody else’s feelings are going to be hurt and a few other things, that you use protection etc … But if you mean that people shouldn’t ever be having one night stands, yeah I think that is a little more conservative than the average person. In this context though, the Daily Star means that this is something people might not even consider is illegal, having not grown up or otherwise lived in a strictly religious state

- smcl 4y agoSorry, what is it that you're trying to say?
- mensetmanusman 4y agoThe percentage of one night stands that reach OP’s ideal thresholds approaches zero with increasing alcohol consumption.
- have_faith 4y agoOne night stands are the least concern for british football fans travelling there. I doubt they're going to be storming foreign hotel rooms. The biggest threat to the fans is their actions celebrating (or venting) on the streets in broad daylight. We're not exactly known for having a quiet one when the footballs on.
- CoastalCoder 4y agoNot to me. But I get the impression we have at least three different world views / ethos at play, and few people are open to changing camps.
- jhugo 4y agoThe article is about a state punishing people for making a private choice. Whether you think their choice is responsible or not has nothing to do with it.
