There's some truth to the old adage that says the difference between men and women when it comes to sex is that women need a reason to have sex while men just need a place to do it. There is some wisdom in bearing this in mind when it comes to one night stands. Like everything in life, there are up sides and downsides. On the up side, one night stands have no strings attached, they're convenient, and offer a satisfactory relief of sexual desires for the moment for two consenting adults. On the downside, they are easy to commit to under the influence of alcohol only to be regretted later, and the morning after loss of self respect and dignity is a real possibility.

However, one night stands remain common place even though it may be frowned upon or folks in the room choose not to recognize the white elephant that it is. They provide an air of excitement that many people fantasize about, even if some of them don't go through with it. To get through a one night stand, there are some cardinal rules or etiquette that can make it a better experience for you.

1. Maintain a grip of your expectations remember that for men and women, the motivation to have sex and particularly in a one night stand is different. The object of this exercise is sexual relief with a mutually consenting and for that moment, acceptably attractive sexual partner.

2. Women - don't expect the orgasm of the century. You will be seriously disappointed in the very likely event that you don't reach the heights of ecstasy. For you to choose to do this, you've decided that you're in good company, so enjoy yourself and don't expect too much of it, though some men do surprise.

3. Men - be conscious that your female partner may be approaching things from a different point of view. This is not to say that the satisfaction of sexual desires is not a mutual quest, but just to encourage you to be more sensitive to your partner's needs and less selfish by aiming to simply achieve your own sexual gratification.

4. Hygiene, hygiene, hygiene there is no excuse for not taking care of business here, and being drunk is most definitely not a valid reason to drop standards of cleanliness. Take some time out to freshen up in the essential areas if you need to and it is not right to subject your partner to an unacceptable unhygienic experience.

5. Protect yourself. Use a condom and practice safe sex to protect you and your partner. This also gives you peace of mind to focus on enjoying yourself.

6. Don't do what you
