IntroductionSo, you're curious about having a one-night stand. I'm glad you're here! I've had a few in my time; some very successful, some less so. Whether this will be your first one or you're a regular wondering how to make casual sex work better for you, I've compiled everything I know to write this ultimate guide to having the best one-night stands ever.The main difference in preparation depends on the sexes of the partners involved and whether it's going to take place at your house or theirs. Because I'm a cis-gendered female who mostly has sex with men, this article is geared towards heterosexual couples. But I hope that no matter the genitals of you or your partner, you'll find something helpful here. Let's dig in!Before: How To Prepare for a One-Night Stand* Find someone you're attracted to: If you're not attracted to this person, don't even bother going through with the rest of everything else. This night is about you having fun, not pleasing other people.* Set clear expectations with yourself: Decide what you want to get out of this night and if you have any clear boundaries. Do you want to have penetrative sex (penis in an orifice, either vagina or butt) with them? Where is this one-night stand going to take place? Do you want to stay over, or are you going to take your ass home in an Uber at 4 am?* Prioritize your needs first: I'm adding this here because I'm terrible at doing this. As soon as I find a guy who I want to have sex with, I lose all sense of my needs and life priorities. So, be realistic for a moment: Do you have anything you need to get done the day after your one-night stand? The point is to make sure you're caring for your general well-being and not just dropping everything for a random dude you will never see again.* Plan your sleep: There's evidence that women need more sleep than men. How well do you sleep in someone else's bed or having someone in your bed? Can you survive on three hours, or would you be better off with eight? Even if you don't know exactly because this is your first one-night stand, just take a guess, and then you'll learn whether you were right or wrong after the experience.* Set clear expectations with your partner: Communicate with them if you can. Plan where you are going to do this. If it's at your house, is your partner allowed to sleep over? Do you need them out of the house by 10 am so you can go to your yoga class?* Be honest with yourself about your true intentions: If you have feelings for this person and would like to have anything more than a one-hit wonder with them, stop right there. Having sex with them is not going to fix anything. Be sure to do the feelings check-in I've included below.* Plan your alcohol and drug intake: You don't want to be too drunk or high for your one-night stand. Know your limits. A couple of drinks is probably fine if you've eaten, but you do not want to be completely blackout. Bad things can happen, and you need to have your wits about you so you can get the hell out of there at a moment's notice. Plus, sex when you're super wasted is not very enjoyable.* Plan to meet somewhere where you feel comfortable: Don't schlep yourself across the city to a place you don't know. Make this person come to you, like to your favorite lively local bar, or go to a party together where you know a couple of people.* Consider using a highly effective form of birth control: I'm talking about an implant or an IUD, i.e., a coil. Whatever sex you have is going to be a lot more enjoyable when you're not worried about getting pregnant. I have the Hormonal IUD, which I love because it is super effective for preventing pregnancy for up to eight years, and it stops my painful periods, which is a faff that I don't want to have to deal with. If you're already using the pill for your “acne” or some other form of birth control, good for you!If the one-night stand will take place at your house, here are some other tips you might want to consider:* a) Prepare your sex toys & condoms: I'll get more into this later, but you'll want any vibrator, lube, butt plug, and fun stuff on hand. Be sure to have multiple condoms, at least three.* b) Wash your bedsheets, if possible: There's nothing like banging in a clean bed.* c) Have clean towels on hand: Some men I've had sex with will literally sweat through multiple layers of sheets. It's insane, and yes, your bedroom will be destroyed.* d) Have a bit of alcohol in your house: You may or may not want to keep a bottle of wine or beer on hand at home. I don't like to drink that much, but you and your partner might want to.* e) Tidy your house: This is totally optional, but this helps me have less anxiety, at least.If the one-night stand will take place at their house, this might help:* a) Pack the essentials: This might be hard depending on the size of your purse or bag, but see if you can bring your toothbrush, deodorant, a contact lens case (essential if you wear contacts like me), and maybe even a change of shirt for the morning after. You're not bringing your toiletries bag, just the bare basics so that you don't lose your mind.* b) Subtly bring a toy and condoms with you: You could bring a small bullet vibrator in your bag or invest in a Vesper necklace, which is a beautiful piece of jewelry that also doubles as a vibrator. Yay, secret pleasure! And also, stuff a couple of condoms in your bag.Before you proceed, do a feelings check-in.What if I have feelings for my one-night-stand partner?Be honest about whether you have feelings for this person before you have sex with them. I may sound old-fashioned, but my honest advice is: do not have a one-night stand with someone if you have feelings for them. You will just end up having your heart broken. Having casual, easy sex with someone is not going to make someone fall in love with you. In fact, the sex of the one-night stand is basically over in a minute, and that is the end. It's a quickie one-and-done.What if I'm not sure if my one-night-stand partner has feelings for me or not, or I'm not sure what their intentions are?Just be wary of men you actually like or might want to have a relationship with. If you're not sure about your partner's intentions and you might want something more serious with them, my advice is to wait to have sex. You can still fool around with them but try to keep your clothes on.I've had a couple of experiences where I found myself in bed with a guy I liked, and I wasn't sure about his intentions with me. In this case, I like to refuse to have sex with them and see how it plays out. When we part ways, we either never speak again, or we continue our relationship and get to know each other better. By then, we're beyond a one-night stand and have a slightly longer, more meaningful relationship.This is only for partners you might have feelings for or want something more serious with. If you don't want that, and you just think they're hot and want to have some quick casual sex, keep reading!What if I don't have feelings for my one-night stand partner?That's awesome! This is probably the ideal scenario. When you're both using each other to have a damn good time, no one has to feel bad about it. I've heard many women say that they feel guilty or get attached when they have sex with someone. This isn't always the case for me. I tend to get attached to someone I have sex with when I have feelings for them. But if I just think they're hot, and this experience truly is not going anywhere, then f**k it! I'm just in it for the sex, and I won't be messaging them the next day, and that's that.During: What should you keep in mind during a one-night stand?* Use protection when you have penetrative sex: You're going to need protection against pregnancy and STDs. Just remember that nature is a b***h, and people can often carry STDs without having any symptoms. These STDs can cause life-long complications for women, like infertility from Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) if left untreated. The challenge with one-night stands is that if you don't use protection, the situation can quickly escalate. No matter how much fun you thought you had that night, when you're taking Plan B or dealing with HPV forever, it's going to f*****g suck.* Trust your earlier intuition. I've had men promise me all kinds of things when they're trying to have sex with me. “I love you!” (They don't). “I'll love you forever.” (They won't). “That was the best b******b I've ever had.” (Well, maybe that one's true). Regardless, this is why you need to have it clear in your mind before you have your one-night stand what you are willing to do and what you want to get out of it. The wrong kinds of partners will say anything to get you to have sex with them. Have your wits about you and ignore the b******t and excessive sweet talk.* Prioritize your pleasure: It is very important that you, as a female, also experience sexual pleasure and orgasm, if you so choose, during this one-night stand. The statistics around female pleasure for first-time hookup sex are pretty dire. As Dr. Laurie Mintz shares in her fantastic book, “Becoming Cliterate,” “55 percent of men versus 4 percent of women said they usually reach orgasm during first-time hookup sex!” Boo. We can do better than that! Basically, the most important thing to remember is that having sexual intercourse (putting the penis in the vagina) is NOT the most reliable route to orgasm for most females. Sexual intercourse is basically for the male orgasm only. Also, men want to please women. So, how can you have pleasurable sex? “Almost 45 percent of women said their most reliable route to orgasm was intercourse coupled with clitoral stimulation.” I've written a whole article about female orgasms. Here are the most important points for your one night stand:* Mimic the way you pleasure yourself when you're with a partner: That's why I recommend having your toys on hand at your house or bringing your Vesper necklace to your partner's house. Basically, get your partner to assist you using the masturbation techniques that already work for you and that you know you like.* Get the guy to pleasure you in ways that you like but find difficult, if not impossible, to do to yourself: As I mentioned in the article, a tiny amount of butt stuff from my male partner, coupled with clitoral stimulation from my hand or a toy, does the trick very easily for me.* Take your time: You've got all freaking night. What's the rush? If you're a guy reading this article, make it clear to your female partner that her enjoying herself is important to you and that you'll be patient.* Remember that oral sex and “foreplay” is the female's main course: “Quoting Ian Kerner, author of the how-to oral sex manual for men She Comes First, “Most men consider cunnilingus an aspect of foreplay, an appetizer to be served before the main meal of genital intercourse.” However, it's crucial to understand that this “appetizer” is actually the main course for many women—it's the way they orgasm!” (Read “Becoming Cliterate” and “She Comes First”).* Go all out: This is my favorite tip! You've found someone with whom you can safely explore sexual stuff, and then you'll never see again, so seize the moment! Why not experiment, explore, and try stuff you've always wanted to try? Take a bath. Try a new position. Try chocolate or food in bed. Of course, ask your partner what they're comfortable with trying (I always shamelessly ask for a bit of butt stuff, obviously.) And if you're having a good time, or you think they're hot, say so! My best one-night stand was when a guy in Newcastle told me how much he loved my bush, and he ate me out for ages. It was so hot!* Make sure you pee after sex: You might already know this, but don't forget. It's great for helping avoid UTIs, etc.* Get your beauty sleep: You deserve to be a functioning human the next day. It's time to get some rest. If you know that you'll totally struggle to sleep, feel free to call yourself or them an Uber.The Morning After: What should you do after a one-night stand?* Prioritize your health and vitals: While one-night stands can be fun, they can be very depleting in terms of your basic needs. After you're all done, take time to shower, eat, get some sleep, and rest yourself back to health. Consider drinking a Gatorade or Electrolit to get hydrated. If you're feeling super depressed, try to do some light exercise, like going for a walk, and just know that this feeling will pass. Being hungover and sleep-deprived is a recipe for feeling like s**t!* Only have brunch with your partner if you want to: You can keep hanging out, getting coffee or food, or let him cook you breakfast, but just remember that you don't owe this person anything. Don't feel any pressure to keep hanging out with them. Only keep them around if you want to.* Clean your house: Depending on how much of a witch you are, you might want to wash your bedsheets, open all the windows to air things out, and sage-cleanse your house

Dr. Ian Kerner, bestselling author of “She Comes First” and licensed sex therapist, shares insights from his 20+ years helping couples create more fulfilling sexual connections. From his own journey of overcoming sexual challenges to becoming a leading voice in sex therapy, Dr. Kerner discusses how traditional scripts around sex often limit pleasure and intimacy. He emphasizes moving beyond the “intercourse discourse” to embrace a more holistic view of sexual experiences that prioritizes mutual pleasure and absorption.Through his clinical work and research, Dr. Kerner has observed concerning trends among younger generations choosing partnerships without sexual chemistry, while also noting positive shifts in couples' openness to sexual exploration and toy incorporation. He provides practical frameworks for couples to examine and improve their “sexual scripts” - the patterns and behaviors that make up their intimate encounters.The conversation explores how couples can cultivate psychological arousal, maintain erotic connections between encounters, and create space for authentic sexual expression without judgment. Dr. Kerner shares valuable insights about the importance of both emotional safety and maintaining elements of mystery and desire in long-term relationships.Topics Covered:Rethinking traditional sexual scriptsCreating psychological arousal and intimacyThe role of foreplay vs coreplaySexual chemistry in choosing life partnersMaintaining desire in long-term relationshipsGuest Info:Website: IanKerner.comBooks: “She Comes First”, “So Tell Me About the Last Time You Had Sex”Follow Me:Instagram: @afinehuman Shop Dame: dame.com This podcast was produced by The Wave Podcasting

Sheepdog (formerly WoundedSheepdog) joins the conversation. (Today's guest wishes to remain anonymous and will be referred to by his Twitter (X) handle.) My guest has been in a relationship for over 20 years, is a father, and has a lot of unique experiences to share with those who may be struggling in a sexless or sexually declining relationship. His tweets are inspirational, insightful, and accountable. So, if you are seeking motivation, I highly encourage you to follow him. Today's topic indulges the question, “How to encourage conscious relationships without endorsing the gender war.” Caution: this episode contains sexual topics. Sheepdog has been through an inspiring transformation and shares his background story and journey from emotionally retarded to emotionally intelligent. We discuss why the Red Pill Agenda is a harmful mindset that encourages men to see women as objects, not people. We also discuss why porn can be degrading to our beliefs about sex and intimacy and how porn can negatively impact our expectations. We then talk about how we learned there was so much more to sex than the basic flat concept floated around by social, cultural, and media narratives. Also, chatter about why taking the O out of the sex session can lead to better sex and connection. While being goal-oriented is an attribute to the boardroom, it isn't an attribute to the bedroom. Emotionally connected sex is THE BEST sex you can have, bar-none. Romance is important, rituals are important. It does not mean you are a “simp” or a “cuck” if you like to appreciate your lady or receive affection from your lady. Love isn't logical, nor does love aim to fit the mold of the Red Pill Agenda. We discuss the importance of touch, which is EVERY SINGLE PERSON'S LOVE LANGUAGE. Danielle talks about why it's important to see your spouse as a human being and not just some label or category or affiliation. We need to see each other as equal in value and worth. We must remember we are on the same team. Danielle expounds on an idea mentioned by Sheepdog in one instance regarding ego and speaks to why we sometimes straddle ego and authentic self in the bedroom, why we need a story line (mental arousal) while we are in present moment with the touchable, physical NOW. Sheepdog then highlights the trends of relationship orientations, such as “Trad-Con” relationships, in which the demands and expectations for this type of relationship demean and objectify women. How the Red Pill movement is really just an Agenda of Agent Smith. Must the man lead? And if he's unconscious, CAN he lead? What does it require for a man to lead? Sheepdog says patience! Then we take a dive into the controversial topic of infidelity and forgiveness. How do you take accountability for infidelity? What happens on Discovery Day (D-Day, as Sheepdog calls it)? How do you rebuild trust? Can you love again after an affair? Toward the end of the conversation, we share our learning and teaching experiences in the realm of parenting and specifically, how to talk to your children about sexuality and intimacy and how to encourage their curiosity. This episode is filled with so much substance, nuance, and two individual perspectives compassionately considering one another in an authentic, connected dialogue. Mentioned in this podcast: Zuby, Andrew Tate, Fresh and Fit Podcast, Red Pill Movement, Wife Worship, TradCon, Biblical Marriage, Obligatory sex, Chump Lady, Adam Lane Smith, She Comes First by Ian Kerner, LastaDolphin.

Our candid and enlightening conversation with Dr. Kerner covers an array of topics, from the importance of communication and self-compassion in sex and relationships to the common misconceptions about men and women in these contexts.

Grab your seat for SHE COMES FIRST here.   Grace Jones once said, “In a room full of people, want yourself first” and that quote changed my life forever. Today we're talking about how to get your POWER back in your dating life + relationships. I'm sharing my top tips on how to detach and choose yourself first.  

Episode 25 dives right into the bedroom! Lauren's recently been rereading Ian Kerner's book: SHE COMES FIRST and she has some juicy questions for Trey.  But, before they launch into the subject of communicating their way to better and more patient sex, Trey shares one of his favorite phrases, "Are you asking for advice or do you want me just to listen?" They discuss why this term has been so helpful to their partnership and Lauren even goes so far as to say that, "If we cannot feel vulnerable enough to communicate with our partners, there is no way that our sex is going to improve. Because better sex requires better communication." Throughout this episode, they discuss female arousal times and even tell a story about a recent work day where Lauren had to embrace the slow build, fight feelings of inadequacy, and trust that there was plenty of patience for her AND that Trey would communicate if he needed to be done. Since Trey has not read Ian's book (spoiler!) Lauren asks him to share where and how he learned to provide oral and manual pleasure to the vulva and clitoris. Trey asks Lauren how she moves through personal frustration when arousal is taking longer than desired, and she shares how she avoids using negative phrases at all costs! They both realize that their favorite go-to-phrase is, "are you comfy?" This code allows them both to continue chasing pleasure while checking in with the other's body.  They discuss the power of coaching one another up in the sex they want and HOW they want it and close this episode out by sharing the power of celebrating the unique sexual desires of all humans.

If you want to learn more about sexual health and hormonal health, Dr. Jolene Brighten is an empowering, honest, and non-judgmental educator. I hope you enjoy this interview! In this episode you'll discover: The solitary function of the clitoris. Major problems with anatomy education. The effects of fear-based sexual education. Why parents need to become the expert in their home. The history of feminine hygiene. How douching impacts the vaginal microbiome. The difference between a vaginal orgasm and a clitoral orgasm.

The Pleasure Gap Between Men's  and Women's Sexual Health (Part 2)  How is women's sexual health different from men's sexuality, and have we finally understood female pleasure? What do men need to ‘get' about it? What are the ingredients of a great sex life and a happy relationship? Health seeker Adiel Gorel discusses all this and more with therapist and author Ian Kerner.    Key Insights: Ian Kerner used to experience early ejaculation, so decided to educate himself. He found out about women's sexual health, and consequently understood his own sexuality better as well. As a species, we moved away from procreative to recreational and relationship sex. Since female orgasm is not linked to procreation, it has rarely been studied widely in the past. Ian Kerner explains the inspiration for his popular first book ‘She Comes First' as well as his new book ‘So Tell Me About the Last Time You Had Sex' – a question he asks his therapy patients. Ian speaks of chemistry, attraction as a social construct, and what causes us to pick someone. Spectatoring or the performative aspect of sex is also discussed. Communication is key to satisfying sexual relations in a couple. Apart from the physicality of intercourse; couples must connect mentally – ‘outercourse' as Ian puts it. Author, Investment Expert and Wellness Advocate Adiel Gorel isn't just an expert in his chosen fields but also a storyteller who makes complex issues easily accessible. Tune in to his show where he addresses diverse issues with a single aim to improve quality of life.    Have questions?

The True Meaning of ‘Cliteracy' Starting with a discussion of his book, She Comes First, Ian Kerner's coined word ‘cliteracy' is given more thought and emphasis. Overall, the term encapsulates the aim of his bestselling book. He relays to listeners his previously one-sided mentalities towards sex, his struggles, and his overall motivations for becoming "cliterate" (clitoral literacy). By moving past an intercourse-dominated understanding of what sex had been, and shifting towards an outercourse understanding of what sex could be, his life changed for the better. For more on the backstory and motivations for She Comes First, and his whole shift in perspective, check the episode out. Less Performance Anxiety With Cunnilingus? Yes and no, Ian Kerner states. Certainly, if one shifts towards more foreplay, closeness, and outercourse over sticking to a strictly penetrative practice, the slow-burning build-up can be a much more relaxed experience for all who are involved. And according to Kerner, it is much rarer for a man to be anxious about performing oral sex on a partner over traditional vaginal intercourse (where maintaining an erection or premature ejaculation can often crop up). Instead, females are usually much more anxious to receive cunnilingus because of issues of genital self-esteem and other factors. For more on this, Ian Kerner really brings up some cogent points on the subject. Genital Self-Esteem This concept is a very important one to consider when the topic at hand is cliteracy. Especially for someone who has harsh, unrealistic, or unhealthy self-perceptions about the appearance or size of their genitals, and so on. And the number one way to remedy an anxious partner is to express how much you enjoy giving them pleasure--expressing one's during the performative aspect of cunnilingus is key. This reinforces a system of positive feedback which in turn makes the act more enjoyable for all involved. Sex in Multiple Acts Ian likes to remind his clients that sex shouldn't be done on just a penetrative basis. He likens those kinds of sexual practices as a play with only one act. So, instead of going straight for the climax without actually having built up properly for it, he encourages starting slow. Only when you introduce important elements can you move onto the next act. If you want really good, healthy sex, one should logically start with the first act: this could consist of seduction or playful touching. Act 2 is genital stimulation. And act 3 can logically progress from there with more foreplay. Or maybe an intermission between acts 3 and 4, and then the play resumes. Also, who says an orgasm has to be the end result? Some of the most satisfying sexual experiences (plays) don't always end with a climax. For much more, check it out! Changes to She Comes First? Because Ian wrote She Comes First over a decade ago, some of focuses and implementations are perhaps a little lopsided for his taste now. Technique gets the majority of page space throughout the book, and he ponders aloud if perhaps he should have focused more on the communication aspects of sex over achieving a ‘flow' state during the act itself. Both are important of course! But overall, Ian is proud of the book, as he should be. And for those who haven't picked up a copy, you really should. You should also really check the episode out!
