How to Arrange Casual Encounters Online

Looking for a hot, no-strings-attached encounter? Forget the bar scene. The web is where you’ll get lucky, says Sarah Stefanson at AskMen.com

… Arranging casual encounters online has become fairly commonplace, and the internet makes finding a potential mate incredibly convenient, especially for people who are very busy or who are not into the bar scene. If what you’re looking for is purely physical, however, the internet can be a godsend. Approaching a girl in a bar with the intention of a one-night stand is almost always a losing prospect, so you have to pull out all the stops to seduce her and then deal with the consequences of your one-night-only attitude when she expects a relationship the next morning. All this trouble can be avoided by arranging casual encounters online, where both your intentions and theirs are crystal clear from the beginning. No, it isn’t just middle-aged swingers that use the internet for hooking up. There are young, attractive people online who want to keep things simple and have some fun. Read more

4 Tips for One-Night Stands

If you don’t want your one-night stand to drag out for longer than one night, take AskMen.com‘s four tips and run with them.

The allure of the one-night stand may be greater than that of any other sexual escapade in our culture. It requires a chase, delivers a prize and opens a forum of satisfaction, both as a game of hide-and-seek and in the sultry moments with your unknown partner. One-night stands are a firecracker of sexuality: short, explosive, easily found in Mexico, and leaving a lasting memory that often trumps the actual experience.

Beware! The No. 1 luxury of one-night stands centers around attachment. With committed sex, you are furthering love (or whatever you think love is). With one-night stands, however, interactions are merely physical. Take our tips for one-night stands and run. Read more

Give her advance notice on booty calls

You shouldn’t assume she’s available 24 hours a day whenever you want to get laid. Calling her at 2 a.m. as you stumble out of the bar is not the best idea. Read more

6 Casual Sex Tips for Women

Zingy Galore at Lucrezia Magazine gives women six tips on having a one-night stand.

Burp and Tipple
A little tipple can go a long way. Get it right, and you can be happily ensconced with warm feelings and amorous thoughts, being completely legless is unforgivable. Take it from someone who has been there. Alcohol isn’t an aphrodisiac. Excessive quantities of alcohol are related to limp dicks, dick blackouts and delayed orgasms (that may never come to fruition). Alcohol isn’t known for sharpening decisions. Hands up if you’ve awoken the morning after and turned over to see the wonderful person from the night before, to get the fright of your life?  Read more

Intelligence Boosts Likelihood of One-Night Stands

Though most women will probably say, “Duh!” to the results of this study, it’s another clue for men that displaying their wit and intelligence is more likely to get them laid than telling women that they’re “hung like a horse.”

According to a new study, women prefer brainy, creative men to jock types when looking for long-term relationships and one-night stands.

Unlike previous research on the topic, the study didn’t simply ask women to rate qualities they found attractive in the opposite sex. Instead, the University of California at Davis’s Psychology Department had 204 female university students watch videos of men performing various tasks of mental and physical dexterity, before having them rate each man on long- and short-term desirability.

The 25 Rules of the Modern Booty Caller

Casual sex. Friends with benefits. Booty calls. Whatever the term, sex outside of a serious relationship is as popular as ever. That doesn’t mean that someone can’t get his or her feelings hurt, though, and, when that happens, it usually spells the end of the sexual relationship. Daily Bedpost lists “The 25 Rules of the Modern Booty Caller” to provide some guidelines for keeping both casual sex partners happy and satisfied.

Most people don’t talk about booty calls. That’s part of their appeal: “We don’t have to endlessly com-mu-ni-cate because we’re not in a serious relationship.” People rely on a tacit understanding when it comes to casual sex with their friends and neighbors, and especially their exes. But it’s silly to assume that everyone “understands” the exact same set of personal guidelines…  So let’s once and for all manage those expectations with The 25 Rules of the Modern Booty Caller: Read more

10 Signs That a Man Wants You Just For Sex

Sometimes a man simply wants to have sex with a woman. That’s fine with some women – at least sometimes – but for women seeking a relationship, these men are a waste of time. So, how’s a woman supposed to know when a man just wants her for sex? BaggageReclaim lists ten signs – some of them so obvious that it’s amazing that women miss them:

1. He tells you. I know – Talk about stating the obvious but, have you any idea how many women are actually told by a guy that they just want to have ‘fun’ and aren’t looking for a relationship?
