If it weren't for flings, I'd be very lonely
Been carburating on those since I was last dumped, about 6 months ago, so obviously I'm all for them.
Golden rule is have both partners be not only consenting, but CONSCIOUS about what they're doing.. I've once refused a one-night stand because I judged that the lady was way too drunk to know what she was doing.. I don't think I'd like to handle waking up and being a regret to a partner.
I also don't get why it's often assumed that loveless sex is automaticaly devoid of any feeling or passion.. SURE it's much more intimate if you love your partner.. but a one-night stand can have tenderness and affection in it too.. doesn't have to be "bang-bang in and out, bye I'm done~" if you know what I mean
