3. You Can Stop Worrying About Your Body

The one thing that your partner in a one night stand does not care about is your unshaven legs or a lean body. All they need is sex and you do not have to be all prim and proper like you have to be for a date or for sex in a relationship.

4. Your Partner Might Run Away Quicker Than You Think

Chances are that the person you had a casual encounter with might not even stay for breakfast since the whole purpose of these encounters is to just have sex and then leave. You might wake up and find the other person gone for good.

5. The Sex Could Be The Greatest Or Completely Bad

Two individuals can let go of their inhibitions completely when they engage in a one night stand so it might be the hottest sex you have ever had or it might be completely opposite.

Believe it or not, some one night stands actually lead to healthy relationships that last for years. More than 25% of one night stands lead to long-lasting relationships despite the fact that they started on an idea whose purpose was the exact opposite of a relationship.
