In a busy, modern world where people sometimes just don’t have the time for relationships and commitments, casual sex is not uncommon. It’s a Saturday and you’re all alone in your apartment. You decide to check out the singles bar in the corner. You take that causal sip and glance at the room and you chance at another stranger looking your way. A few words are exchanged and you buy her that drink you ask her if she wants to spend then night with you and she says yes. Simple as that. But what do you do the next day, when the alcohol is out of your system and you “come to your senses”? Here are some tips to help you on the day after you sleep with a stranger:
Never give out personal information
Before you actually sleep with the person, at least find out her name. Not the whole name though; the first name will suffice. Remembering her first name and greeting her when you first wake up will certainly ease some of the awkwardness of the morning. If you can’t remember her name, just a simple hello or good morning will do. The simple rule that most people abide by is: the sex was great now let’s go on with our lives. Last names make it personal, so don’t try asking it and if offered just brush it away. This isn’t a date and you have no plans of building a relationship. Asking her number would also be a dumb move because the sooner you get out of there, the fewer ties you build.
Visit the nearest clinic
Sex with a total stranger is something not planned, and quite frankly, you need to think about the advice from those classes about safe sex in school. Getting caught in the moment and forgetting to put the rubber happens in almost every one night stand situation, so the next day or so, you’ll want to get testes. Condoms of course don’t protect from much of any STDs, so figuring our if you slept with a dirty person is a good idea no matter what. Go to the nearest clinic and have the doctor run through as many tests as it takes to ensure that you’re safe.
Get a pregnancy test
The risk of sexual encounters is great even if done with a special someone. Unprotected sex makes it a hundred fold more dangerous. You want to get the woman in the relationship tested for pregnancy soon after the sex to be sure that the appropriate measures can be taken. Abortion is always an option, but they are a costly one. It still may be a good idea to have a woman take one the next day just as a preventive measure. If you’re a guy and plan to have these encounters a lot, then keep a box of abortion pills in your house so you don’t have to worry about it. Ladies, keep some of those pills on you as well if you plan on sleeping around a lot. It will save you a lot of trouble.
Don’t Look Back
The less you know the less guilt you’ll feel. Take it for what it is: it was just sex, great or not. The sooner you leave that place and less you know about the other person the better. Let it go, some people do this as a way of life. Being emotionally attached only leaves you feeling bad. Forget about the sex and move on.Sex with people we don’t know or in crazy places happen. They happen to the mostly unlikely people at the most unlike of time. Being prepared with the twists of life doesn’t make it go away but makes it less likely of committing mistakes.
