Sex is a necessity, is also an important part of a romantic relationship between two people. But not everyone has the luxury of loving and being loved by others. So while many lovebirds can freely plan the right time to make out, it's a different story with single people out there. With the rise of dating applications, many people can freely go on an adventure looking for a one-night love date as a quick way to fulfill their lust satisfaction.
One night love (one night stand) is a popular term to describe sexual relations with strangers or new acquaintances without any connection. But other times it's so tempting to swipe right, it's good for you to think a thousand times before being blinded by lust. One-night love does not escape its own risks and dangers.
What are the risks and dangers of one-night love?
1. Get carried away with feelings
The invitation to make love one night without realizing it can boost false confidence. Each party is honored and proud to be the flagship of the many choices - the most attractive and coveted person. Even though it is bitter to hear, both men and women choose not to care about the "ideal partner" standard that they hold dear just for the sake of temporary sexual gratification.
After realizing that your one-night date is not the ideal partner you've been looking for, it can end up feeling upset. This is because you are overwhelmed by guilt, shame, or regret that you have wasted the opportunity to find your ideal partner.
On the other hand, women have a lot more at stake. For women, the risk of getting pregnant or losing her virginity becomes a big responsibility that must be borne after one night of love; while men have almost no moral responsibility whatsoever.
2. Sexually transmitted diseases
One-night love is closely related to unprotected sex. In addition, basically, both of you don't know the details of each other's health conditions. Because never mind your health status, even your full name, address, and occupation may never be a topic of conversation.
Thus, a one-night love affair with a new person has the potential to open the gates for the spread of a number of sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis, gonorrhea, HPV, and HIV.
You are still at great risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases even if you have used a condom, because condoms can tear when carried away or because of how they are used inappropriately.
3. The risk of pregnancy is higher
Research published in the journal Evolutionary Psychological Science in 2015 reports that men will produce better quality sperm cells when they meet a new woman.
Without realizing it, men tend to save the amount of sperm produced when having sex with women who have known each other for a long time. This feeling of closeness and habit makes a man no longer feels the urge or instinct to implant his sperm in the woman's womb. Meanwhile, when he met a woman he had never met, he had an unconscious instinct to reproduce. He also ejaculates faster, and the resulting sperm is much more agile, plentiful, and tough.
This makes the risk of unwanted pregnancy multiplied, moreover, one-night love is actually done without the protection of a condom or other contraceptive method.
