Pros:
It is exciting. Starting the new year with a new fling is one for the memory books, I would say. You won’t be forgetting the New Year of 2017, if you start it off with a bang.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you make a habit of going on several one night stands you are going to become a pro at sex since you will be able to learn various tricks and methods, so to speak, from different partners.
No pressure and total freedom is another benefit. You are basically having a fling just for fun, and you can do whatever you feel like doing. Moreover, there is no need to worry if you are pleasing your partner, since you are in a position of totally indulging yourself as much or as little as you like.
Cons:
No intimacy at all. It is just a matter of casual sex and no attachments or expectations of getting into any kind of serious relationship are involved. If you prefer some commitment then one night stands are not that good for you.
You might be expecting more especially if you tend to really end up liking a particular partner. So you might feel disappointed afterwards. Or vice versa and end up hurting him.
It is dangerous. Did you read about the New Zealander girl who was on holiday in Australia who went on a Tinder date and ended up falling (or being pushed) off his balcony to her death? Getting intimate with a complete stranger has its risks, you never know what their true motives are.
It is dangerous X 2. Yes, again. One night stands are also dangerous for your health. Even if you use contraceptive methods such as a condom, you can never be 100% safe from an unwanted pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease.
Weigh the pros and cons before deciding if a new fling this new year is something you might enjoy or wake up regretting. Good luck and happy new year!
