How to Have Sex With Me One Time

Mar. 1, 2011
Sarah Nicole Prickett is a writer by day and writer by night.

Because look, I won’t be mad if you never text me again. I’ll be mad — like crazy scorned hellcat mad — if you never text me after you, while you were getting me naked and hopefully wet, called me the best thing that’s happened to you all year. I’ll say, this is how you treat the best thing that’s happened to you all year? I’ll say, maybe my first clue should’ve been the word “thing.” Postscript: you’re a prick.

The less you promise now, the less you have to answer for later, basically; and anyway the best thing you can do with your mouth is kiss me. Everywhere. If you can kiss me and touch me at the same time: do that. Keep doing it. If you’re doing it right, you’ll hear me. For now, a little help: it helps if you don’t touch me like you’d touch a newborn or an orchid. Please, I eat; I’m not going to break. I don’t want to be handled with care. What care?

Don’t try to be good in bed. You’re not good in bed. We’re good in bed. Right, or we’re not, but let’s stay positive (not that kind of positive). We’re in this together. While it all happens you’re just a boy and I’m just a girl and we’ve been doing this since we were naked in gardens in some ancient sacral text.

Relax.

If you read it in a magazine, don’t do it.

If your ex-girlfriend liked it, do it.

I don’t mean whip out all your kinks at once. Let’s have a little mystery. Let’s not do anything that could land us in emergency because, just a guess, you’re not going to be in love with “the moment” when that moment is “please state your relationship to the patient” on an official form. Besides, I don’t need you to be different when you’re already this whole new boy in my bed. If you can’t get off on just straight-up sweat-and-vanilla fucking, you should go get professional help, and I do mean that kind of pro.

As for me, I’m trying not to be a whore. I’m not doing this for love or affection or anything in exchange. I’m doing it for the only reason anyone should ever have sex, which is: I want to. All I want to feel is want. And, yes, wantedness and wantonness. All that.

Make me cum. Again: you’ll know. Orgasms are like the price of heels at Balenciaga. If you have to ask, get the fuck out.

After that, and only after that, you’ll cum too. I mean, I’m pretty sure you will. The odds are in your favor. Then you can collapse into me and close your eyes and breathe and if you have to, I mean if you really have to, you can say I’m beautiful and I won’t say I’m not. TC mark

    I was going to personalize you in my reply because of the style of your piece but it doesn't really work, as you're not this other girl and I cannot assume you to be of the same nature, so I'll take your advice with an air of gratitude, and let you know I liked the writing and state I would probably have sex with you repeatedly on the basis that you are: female, a writer that I liked, on the internet, and [nvm, just looked at your thought catalog thumbnail-sized profile picture and I don't need further theoretical points, just know I would] .

    Bros, if a woman (an apparently presentable 25-year-old Canadian blonde woman, no less) telling you what she wants makes you feel insecure, unworthy, uncomfortable, or otherwise anything besides turned on, it's YOUR fault, not hers.

    I have to say I was fully saluting this Prickett chick from paragraph 2 on. It's refreshing to have a woman not wrap her vagina up in mystical roses and potpurri. At least in letters it's refreshing. IRL, she's exactly the kind of chick who gets me. Every time. And just because it never works out doesn't mean it's not fun while it lasts, so never you mind.

    I understood the point, and I understand that she might not want to engage repeatedly or at all (realistically this is of no importance).

    it's weird, most of the women who can verbalize and conceptualize this fail at the execution…actually, most of the women who act/think this way fail to verbalize this and HOWTHEFUCKAREMENSUPPOSEDTOKNOW?@?@!}!>1??? sweet.

  • AFoolToFollow

    This type of honesty finds itself lacking, a situation that improves every time a would-be follower speaks up. Men don't always want to chase, and women don't always want to be chased. Sure, there's this level where guys need to put another notch in the belt. And girls, as Sarah points out, often just try not to feel like a whore. But is it so hard to humanize another's position that we must shake our heads and deny that the warm body lying next to us wanted to fuck too?

  • Jamon

    loved it

  • http://popserial.tumblr.com stephen

    actually i reread it, and it seems less bleak to me now. real talk. initially, i was fixated on this “one time” business, like why do you specify one time? doesn't that seem cynical and bleak? and this vibe I thought I was getting of “fuck relationships,” “fuck caring about the person you sleep with,” “just fuck me and i'll move on to the next guy or whatever, I don't care about you or any guy.” I think that was me reading into it, not what was actually there.

    oh and hey, tao haters, what's up babie

  • http://popserial.tumblr.com stephen

    not to say like fucking one time cant be sweet, but like that as a modus operandi seems bleak to me, like if you're expecting most of your sex experiences to be one time only. like wouldnt you want at least an encore?

    After reading this post, I don't ever want to have sex with you, not even just one time.

    It's way too overthought, overwrought and obnoxious and you give more orders than a Marine Corps drill sergeant!

    I feel sorry for the men who do sleep with you – I'm sure it's a really awful experience, like root canal without the Novocaine.

  • Leah

    “I’m saying: feed me cock. Not lies.” = Gospel. I decided to have sex with you because I wanted to have sex with you. If I wanted you to call afterwards, it's only because you made me think you wanted to call.

  • drst

    “I don't ever want to have sex with you, not even just one time.”

    I doubt that'll ever be an issue, dude.

  • smd

    this was great. i oftentimes feel like this, but never verbalize it. i'm glad someone else was able to put into words and rationalize the whoredness that's sometimes necessary in everyday life.

  • http://twitter.com/GREGORYABUTLER Gregory A. Butler

    No, it won't – because if I ever got within 100 yards of this lady, I'd quickly run away, repulsed by her overwhelming stench of passive aggressive obnoxiousness and undeserved entitlement. Sarah Prickett is the antonym of sexy.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ZPCJAAQD37HUP4OMPTJDTKIG3I jamesin

    can i have sex with you? you are awesome. beautiful? maybe.

  • Laina

    Found myself agreeing so hard with some parts, and disagreeing so hard with other parts–which is cool, because it's “How to Have Sex with *me* One Time,” not “How to Have Sex with Every Woman Ever One Time.” Different strokes for different folks and all that :D

    Soo, I love it except for the kink hate…kinky men don't have to resort to prostitutes, because there are plenty of kinky women out there too (hello, I'm right here!). And there's a vast, vast range of possibilities between “vanilla” and “emergency room.”

  • Phoenix76

    Totally bored and fed up with women and all of there orders . Well I'm a man with my own one-thousand page lists of what i want and what i deserve . There are far too many orders on their lists of things and hoops to jump through . I say enough ! I am not jumping through any more hoops . Jump through mine ! I will find a few woman that will. and those that won't .I totally agree .Run from these crazy women with there insane lists of what you must do to please them.or have sex with them . Lecture your son ,not men. I certainly do not agree. True Power of a Phoenix -Alpha Man.

  • Laina

    She's not laying out hoops to jump through, she's communicating some things that she wants or doesn't want. It's not an exhaustive list. And nowhere does she say that she won't let the man she's sleeping with express his own desires.

  • Coda396

    well this is kool and all but what about us guys like i can make a whole article on what we want in bed….we call you beautiful because it makes us feel good not just you-we want you to scream and grown when we are doing it-all we want is to make our signature to make you happy (our ''move'')-dont be a bitch in bed or we leaving-tell us we r good in bed-when we see eachother iin the house and/ or school we want you to kiss us and touch us…it aint all about women… we got to be happy too

  • Katiegreene2323

    Wow very moving.

  • Guest

    You don't get it. Her point isn't that a lot of guys want to sleep with her. It's that if she wants to sleep with a lot of guys, she should be allowed to be powerful in the situation, and not have to listen to guys make up a whole lot of shit just to “make” her sleep with them. If she wants to, she'll do it on her own.

  • Heather

    that was awesome. you're here, i'm here, we both decided to be here. now let's do the damn thing already and STOP TALKING about doing it.

  • Anon

    you obviously cared enough to read the entire thing and them take the time to comment..

  • John Doe

    The men calling this out for being over-entitled and pretentious crap are probably the same ones this trollop tries to climb all over and fails with — the men she dreams of while fucking the sissy boys who will put up with her nonsense; this is emphasized by the things she seems to think guys say in bed… only limp-dicked or pussy-whipped little children say such things.

    Meanwhile, any guy with any moxy is going to be miles away laying all the nice, decent, appreciative women out there who are more interested in fucking or being fucked than writing self important bullshit.

  • John Doe

    The point is she thinks men owe her something if she deigns to fuck them.

    That kind of attitude should be punishable with incandescent defenestration.

  • John Doe

    So you want someone else to do your dirty work for you?

    “I want to be honest — but I want someone else to do it for me.”

    Thanks for posting your full name so I can avoid ever saying more than 'hi' to you.

  • John Doe

    My own actual comment (as opposed to the various replies):

    You are the kind of person who makes sex cheap.

    On the one hand, that makes finding a virtuous girl a bit harder; on the other hand, it makes finding harlots easier in the mean time (a guy's gotta keep his hands busy somehow, and wanking isn't always the most enjoyable option) — and because wanton women come in all varieties, I'll happily be engaged with someone less emotionally damaged, less greedy, and more appreciative of sex in the first place.

    In other words, I'll be fucking real women, not a burnt out, used up, self-absorbed hole who thinks it's important because desperate men keep trying (and failing) to fill it up.

    You're a function of biology, neurosis, and selfishness: nothing more.

  • http://www.hobbersnobbers.blogspot.com Hobbers

    I love this – its the kind of thought process you go through when having a one night stand. But you are using sex as a weapon – sometimes you have to because its about the sex, not about connecting with someone.

  • Guest!

    Abridged version: I've given up on finding a fulfilling relationship because my neurotic slutbagdom is the motivation for all my actions. Admitting that I want more than random sexual encounters would entail a sense of failure, as I can only get drunken guys from bars to fuck me once. Perhaps if I lost some weight I wouldn't have to settle for being an empty, broken whore.

  • Mcpowell04

    Just because you have some fucked up version of what sex is supposed to be because you believe the Christ allusion don't dog on people who want to have fun. Having sex with your friends is free and should be just as acceptable as playing a video game or something. Relax, It's just sex…

  • Amanda

    it's your perogative to not have sex, it's her perogative to have sex whenever she pleases with whomever she pleases. dolphins don't feel guilty after having a quicky in the middle of the day and neither should we. Unfortunately, humans have a conscience that is driven by factors of moral obligation and self-esteem that make us think sex HAS to mean something. It doesn't, and maybe you wouldn't be so uptight about it if you tried it every once in a while. so again… just relax.

  • amanda

    exactly, she actually says “show me how you like me and HOW YOU LIKE ME TO TOUCH YOU and how much you want to touch me.”

  • MissChris10

    How Empowering! To hear a woman speak of sex exactly as men do! Its a common misconception that women are weak, and a bag of emotions. And its a double standard to call a woman a whore if she engages in one-night stands, but not if a man performs in the same manor! This wasn't about rules men have to follow, it was more an explanation! And for a woman to have these views, and to voice them publically, she has to be brave, considering our world is still filled with hypocritical men, and brainwashed women! You go girl!

  • Nicole

    No such thing as just sex. Just sex can get you just an STD. Just sex can get you just pregnant. Video games don't have consequences like pregnancy and/or life long diseases. “How To Have Sex With Me One Time”, so is she saying there is no way there would be a second time? I don't understand this concept or why this is considered empowering or okay.

    Sex is FANTASTIC, I enjoy sex a lot, but random sex with random people for no reason aside from wanting to feel good is not a good reason. Should I eat an entire container of donuts because it makes me feel good and then wonder why I am obese? People will call me a fat f*ck and to demonstrate some self control. Same concept.

  • Guest34234

    I'm sure while she's having sex, she doesn't bark orders out.
    We all have that dream sex, but how many of us actually express everything we'd love while in the act?

  • guest

    I agree Nicole. You should not just give yourself away just for to feel wanted. You want some self power try not sleeping with everyone you meet. Have some self pride and give yourself to people that matter.

    Random hook ups will happen. I understand that having sex with strangers will happen to most of us. But, it should not be a priority or something to just taken lightly.

    Take pride in yourself and others, don't use them for your own desires.

  • Huecabot

    Nope, not possible. Men and women are different; why is this so hard to understand?

  • Random

    no cause the point is sometimes you have sex with a person and its just going to be once they both know it so dont f*cking lie and say things like youre beautiful and i love you cause its just going to hurt when you dont call … i would much rather know whats happening and have the choice to make a rational decision about it than be sad because the guy who already decided he was only going to have sex with me one time chose to say hey i love you cause that would ensure he got some …. And yes sex does have possible consequences but so does bungee jumping … if you take the right precautions you wont end up dead, diseased or pregnant

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_BCZO2BZOCHB2RTA3ZSQJX4FYPE eventguy

    Again Nicole and Guest, stop imposing your invisible man reasoning on others. There is such thing as “just sex” I am willing to bet that more people die from traffic accidents than random sex. I have sex with friends, and people whom i hit it off with. Sometimes we date sometimes we are just friends and it never happens again. It's about chemistry, I have friends I sleep with regularly because we go to college and don't have time to play the dating game. Also I agree with other comments that sex isn't a weapon so it shouldn't be kept and used like one. If I can have sex with someone whenever I want but I still want to spend time with them, it means there is a real relationship there. I'm not just “going for the gold” as it were.

  • Jay Foulds

    according to you're article i'm not supposed to say this but f*ck it I just fell in love

  • Sandite5

    If you enjoyed her article so much, then lets have at it!

  • Sam

    really? you wrote this? because i'm 100% positive i cant find this exact letter as an anonymous one on “letters ill never send.”

  • guest

    A) Learn to read
    B) Troll harder.
    “Incandescent defenestration” doesn't even make any sense at all. I sincerely hope English isn't your first language.
    You're a moron.
    Also, you clearly didn't read her post, because she asks me to do less, and recognize that they don't owe her anything and she doesn't owe them anything, and wants them to act like it. Seriously. The exact opposite of your “conclusion” about the article.

  • guest

    Judging from your picture, turning away women is probably not a problem for you.
    Which really explains your sense of entitlement and effectively puts it in context.
    You're projecting your bitterness toward the empowered, intelligent women that wouldn't go near you in a million years because they can smell both your misogyny and probably your lack of sexual prowess from a mile away. The entire point of the reading is asking men to realize that women want sex too, so men can stop thinking about ways to “get” them to have sex, and lying and boosting our expectations when really, we too only wanted a one night stand.
    And if you're that uncomfortable with a woman who knows what she wants in bed and is in control of her body then you have far larger problems than simply being dumb.
    In conclusion, stop projecting your societal constructs onto her. Women don't have to be emotional, or silent in bed. Women have every right to communicate their needs (or lack thereof) in the bedroom. I will bet a thousand dollars your spouse/ex is/was extremely unsatisfied in bed.

  • guest

    Well, just so you know, we're pretty fed up with your lack of grammar skills.
    Also, you don't have the right to “say enough.” Sorry, bro. When rape culture targets men and men have been oppressed for over 2000 years, you will have the right to say you're done “jumping through hoops” for women. Til then, shove your gross entitlement up your ass. You will never be intelligent enough to be an alpha male. “Oooohhh these crazy women. Where did they ever get the idea that they were allowed to express their wants or needs!? No! I say no more! They must recognize that their preferences mean nothing in the face of my all-trumping maleness!”
    I hope you never have sons. Or if you do, they never inherit your disgusting sense of entitlement and superiority that has no base, and encourages a culture of violence and oppression against women. Shame on you.

  • guest

    You could honestly not be any more backwards and full of antiquated ideas. Especially as shown by your use of the words “virtuous” and “harlot”. What are you, 90? And what, a girl's not allowed to keep her hands busy in the meantime of finding a guy who's not a jerk? As you stated, masturbation isn't always that fun, sometimes we want a warm body too, and according to you that's fine for men to do, but not for women? Thanks for the refresher course in double standards, grandpa. Nothing in her piece indicates that she's greedy, or unappreciative of sex, or emotionally damaged, or burnt out, or even self absorbed. You seriously need to stop projecting your neuroses all over her, because it just makes you look more pathetic.
    So in other words, I'll be fucking real men, not entitled, backwards, misogynistic, and poorly raised poles who thinks he matters because he simply has a dick, and well, isn't that enough to make you king of the internet? You're a function of bad parenting, neuroses, and entitlement: nothing more.

    If she is going to be so irritable about sex, then maybe she shouldn't be having it?

    Sooo because a woman wrote this it makes her a whore? That's completely sexist. If a guy had written this no one would have anything to say about it.

  • Joanna

    I like how you blame women for you shagging harlots; be a man and take some responsibility for your actions.

    And I think that you're the one that's damaged if you're going to blame someone else because you need more than a wank and can't keep it in your pants.

  • Guest

    What self-masturbatory tripe. You've clearly never been laid and you're just trying to get laid by proxy.

    Too much fail.

  • anon

    I don't think she's being irritable about sex. She's talking about how a good number of men try to make things seem like more than they are and tell girls what they want to hear and pretend it's something more than it is, when all they want is casual sex. Just be honest and say that all you want is sex and it's much easier than having to feign interest. Most smarter girls see through that act anyway. The words just get annoying if you know they don't mean them.

    This is the greatest thing I've ever read. I wish every guy I ever had sex with knew this. UGH.

    Well maybe she is fucking real men, not a burn out, used up, self-absorbed stick who thinks it's important because desperate women keep trying and failing to cover it.

    Sex is not something that is “used up”. like friendship and kindness you can use it for your entire life and share it with who ever you please.

    If anyone tries to scold this woman for finding a sex partner because she is lonely or wants company, shame on you for ever doing anything for attention, for ever calling up a friend to hang out because you had a bad day or want to be around someone. Just because you have a different way of dealing with your feelings does not mean you get to attempt (because honestly, I don't think she gives a shit what you think John doe, she seams quite content with her ways) degrade someone for theirs.

    We are your equal. we can do everything you can do. Including fuck who ever we want.

  • http://twitter.com/ShareeVamp Sharee Buell

    sh0w me exactly where she says “I am owed” or “they owe me”.
    can't find it? neither can I.
    do you ever have anything in mind when meeting someone new ends up in the bedroom?
    maybe a blow job? that is a common one.
    or maybe hitting it from behind?
    or up against a wall?
    that is all she is saying. if she could have her dream lay, this is what it would be. No bull shit, no pretty words, just fucking.
    I don't see why more men aren't trying to get at her.

    Comforting to know misogyny is still alive and oh-so-well.

    So many comments have clearly missed the point of the piece: Cut the bullshit and get down if that's the trip; boys and girls go good together.

    Also, any man who refers to any woman as a 'hole' reveals himself as a tasteless troll. That should never have to be pointed out.

    As a guy, we''d rather if she would shut the f*ck up, open her legs and lets the men to the job.
    If it's a one night stand, dont write an article about it.. no one gives a damn really.

  • Guest

    Ok first of all, you're a pig and second did you even read the article? She is telling men to shut the f*ck up. She doesn't want to hear all your nonsense about love and how much a women means to you. She doesn't care if you don't call her back, just don't make it seem like you will call her back. It's that simple. So you can go off and “do your job” just don't be surprised when you get a call from an angry one night stand because you filled her head with bullshit.

    I think this was just awful. And I'm not saying that if a guy posted something like this it wouldn't be bad. It isn't just sex. Whatever happened to sex being called “making love”? Ya know, like when two people love and care about each other? Don't you want someone to be there in the morning just to talk and i dont know, be there for you when you need them? This article makes me so angry. Yeah dolphins don't feel bad when they do it, but you do realize…that we are humans, right?? Oh animals do it so it's completely alright. You know what animals also do? The black widdow female spider eats the male after they have sex. I guess thats perfectly alright for a woman to do. People need to grow up and realize whats important. And no, it isn't random sex with strangers.

    It's not about feeling wanted you ignorant douche bags, it's about having a fuck*ing orgasm without any attachments or commitment. A surrogate to a social stigma that makes you feel obligated to jump on the bandwagon of having a relationship with someone before you do it. Eff you, I think you're a bith, but you're still hot. Let's have sex then leave me alone. Get it? Sheesh.

    A lot of girls aren't looking for casual sex… this is just a diary of a slut

    I don't remember the last time I said anything about love to a one night stand. Women fill their own heads with bullshit.

    Way to be a skank. This is by far the slutist thing I have ever read.

    Man, there are some judgmental assholes on here. Guess what? If this is how she feels, let her say it. If this is how she wants to live her life that doesn't make her a “skank.” Some of us live in this country called A-M-E-R-I-C-A, I'm guessing you've never heard of it. Tell the Ayatollah Khomeini hi from me.

  • Magnus Rufus

    there is a distinct difference between having sex and being promiscuous. what about this implies that she is a slut? it is simply some reflective insight (and a good slap in the face for guys) into the female perspective of a sexual encounter

  • guest

    This is AWESOME! Kudos to you.

  • Kerstykins

    Apparently it's you who has never heard of America. It's called Freedom of speech, look it up. She has the right to voice her feelings, and I have the right to voice the fact that they are skanky. I don't believe I asked for anyone to agree with me, and your little rant of bullshit it not going to change my opinion.

  • Guestifyed

    I love this so much. I keep coming back to it since I read it a couple weeks ago. My best friend actually sent it to me saying “don't take this the wrong way, but it sounds like YOU wrote this.” Not in the sense of I want to have casual sex for the rest of my life, but the tone of this piece is so funny and like myself. That's why I love it so much. It's in your face and real. Plus it's TRUE.

  • Caitlynnmm

    What an incredible piece. The concept is wonderful. I'm sorry there are so many people out there who feel the need to share their opinions who, quite obviously, don't understand honesty and creativity. This is one of the most refreshing pieces I've read in a while. You have a great voice. Thank you.

    Sex isn't magical. Sex is primal. There isn't fairy dust and rose petals all over your sheets. It's sweaty, disgusting, raw, lustful, and dirty. I like having someone to talk to in the morning when I wake up, but it's not always what you need. Relationships are a choice, sometimes I choose not to have one because I don't want one. I want dirty, sweaty, nasty sex, not someone to coddle me and love me. I love me and since I love me, I am giving myself sex and not having to worry about the mess in my apartment or what to cook them for dinner the next day. It's not about random sex being moral or good, glitter doesn't envelope you and orgasms and cum aren't pretty little pixie sparkle fests between satin sheets.

    You want people to grow up? Maybe you should look around and realize you're the only one who feels that way, maybe you're the one who needs to do the growing. You're living in a fairy tale dreamland where princes come get princesses from castles. I am a strong, powerful woman with a great career and stable finances. I have a stable personality and a close group of friends. I love sex, I hate nagging boyfriends. I have sex with men I meet in bars because I like myself – no, LOVE myself – enough to not want to give up my single life and my work life. THAT is being a grown up, making sure you set your priorities higher than “I need a fucking boyfriend”.

  • Muchuprk

    If this were a guy would you feel differently? Women are just as entitled to have sex as men. Take your chauvanist 1950s housewife female gender stereotyping and go get laid.

  • TeeEm123

    My God, this is perfect ^.  I second everything you said. I'm glad you didn't hold back.
    I feel as though sugar-coating adult sex lives is just a waste of time.

     If you fell in love with every person you ever had sex with, or even just fell for them casually, we'd all be in trouble. Casual/uncomplicated sex isn't an immoral or disgusting thing [sometimes ;)] But it's just that, an uncomplicated thing. I can't go thinking that every person I have sex with is a person I want to spend the rest of my life with, or even just someone that I want 'there for you when you need them.' Sex is sex, and I agree that the most grown up thing to do, is firstly:  choose not to believe that every person you have sex with is your knight in shining armor, and secondly: to realize that strong women, don't need a boyfriend to make them love themselves. Clearly just my opinion.

    ~Would you rather have your hopes raised by empty compliments only to be crushed by reality or be told the truth and willingly know what you are getting yourself into?~

    That is the way I interpreted this article. I may be completely wrong, or completely right, or somewhere in between, yet, this article made me think about many things. Was that not the point?

    Whether the author is a “skank” or not, I could really care less. Never once did she claim she was speaking for all women, and I have to respect that. She is simply one voice that decided to express what she firmly believes.

    Actions speak louder than words, maybe to her it means more if he MAKES her feel beautiful by making her feel “wanted” than by simply telling her.

    Maybe…maybe…how about we ask her?

  • JGH

    Interesting point of view, but to me it just seems like more 'propaganda' that Woman know everything about everything and that men are just nieve organisms that are plain and simply, wrong. Everyone is entitled to an opinion – and here's mine: I think this is portraying a huge stereotype about men and maybe this is your personal experience and, if so, maybe you aren't with the right sort of men for you, but consider the idea that perhaps Men say these things because they mean them. Yes, there will be the ones who spit lies at you and perhaps you feel this makes you the victim – the point is, they are only doing it because they believe it's the right thing to do. If that's their belief, then don't get up on their cases – it's about them too. Despite this, maybe he's calling you beautiful because he thinks you are. It's his opinion and you are not the one to judge how he see's things, just as it is not his place to judge you. As a side note, please don't go giving orders (“After that, and only after that, you'll cum too”). Is it selfish that he might consider finishing first, or is it Selfish that you demand he doesn't? 
    In conclusion I do not believe that having any 'rules' applying to one night stands is economical or plausible – it's a one night stand for a reason – and that's for the sex. Everyone's unique and everyone has their own style ergo. Nice view, but please try to avoid stereotyping – it's quite offensive.

  • Bishop

    I can’t believe how many comments on this article contain the words “slut” and “skank” and “whore”.  How did YOU get to this article?  What makes YOU better for reading it, than the writer expressing opinions? If you do honestly believe that having sex is a bad thing, you my friend definitely shouldn’t be reading an explicit article such as the one above.  Seeing the tags for this article are “Breasts, Girlfriends, Orgasms, Penis, Sex, Texting”  i can only imagine what you searched to get here! ;)

    I actually typed “BALENCIAGA DOESN’T HAVE A SERIAL “VINTAGE”" on google and this came up on the third page. cool eh? :P and me got curious what this got to say so … im here ^^ yay~ :)

  • anon

    Here’s the difference between you and her.  She can have casual sex and have fun doing it, and at the same time make sure her partner enjoys it too.

    You sound like someone who is very selfish in bed, and if this is how you feel, I doubt anyone who sleeps with you enjoys themselves.  Seriously, whoever just slept with you went off thinking one night stands suck, would be less likely to want to repeat the experience… even with nice guys who are looking for mutually-awesome casual sex.

    Also, you idiot. good sex, great sex, explosive- mind blowing- thinking about it the next day and getting hot for a week at the memory of- sex happens when there is good communication.  If you or your partner shuts up, gives no feedback to each other, i have to say, you are really missing out.

    Also, I give a damn what she thinks.  And don’t pretend to speak for all guys.

  • Anon

  • Josh

    A lot of women aren’t no. But some are and if that’s what they want then they have the right go out there and get it. Who are you to judge her?!
    From what I’ve heard from women, they want what she wants. It might be with a an old partner or someone new, but it’s pretty much the same.

  • Josh

    Not really. Someones you just want to have that one encounter. Most people now days exchange some kind of contact info so there is room for an encore if so desired.
