Gone are the days when a person had a one-night stand and was treated as the unicorn of the room.

Now, one-night stands are considered nothing out of the box.

Presently, it’s pretty much common to engage in something like this. You already know the fact if you have friends who are regulars at late night bars and clubs.

Chances are, even you have had one or more one night stands yourself. Believe me, there’s nothing wrong with it.

After all, what’s wrong with having a casual sexual encounter with no strings attached and zero expectations.

So, how many people exactly have one-night stands?

Are you one in a hundred? Or is the street jammed with people like you walking on the same road?

To your relief, there’s a survey carried out by DrEd.com to find out if really a great lot of men and women are into one-night stands or not.

For this purpose, data were collected from about 500 Europeans and 500 Americans.

The results are rather shocking. Yet I’m sure you will be happy to know it if you are ashamed and guilt-ridden of your past one-night stands.

In the case of Europeans, the average number of one-night stands for men is 6 while the women lag behind a little by an average of 4 one-night stands.

The same is in the case of Americans. Here too, men advance in this scenario more than women. The average number of one night stands experience of American men is 7, while for American women it’s 6.

According to the survey carried out by DrEd.com, 66% of the total participants agreed that they have had at least one-night stand in their lifetime.

If 66% of 1000 people had at least one one-night stand, that means around 660 people out of 1000.

Mind you, most of them did it more than once and still continue to do it.

This is a huge number, right? Isn’t it fascinating?

To add to that, not everyone is honest when it comes to boldly accept if they ever had a one-night stand. That means that the number is much more than you can think.

The people who were open enough to accept indulging in one-night stands were also ready to share their views on how the experience was for them.

You may be eager to know how people feel during one-night stands.

As most of these happen after people are heavily drunk and have no control over their senses, they hate themselves and are ridden with guilt the day after.

Though, this is not the case for everyone. Some people get drunk to open up a bit and have a really great time while having a short sexual encounter. They look forward to having more such experiences in the future.

I have some great one-night statistics in store for you! Let’s dive a bit deep to know about them:

While women were more likely to disapprove of their friends for their experiences, men didn’t really care about it and stayed neutral in offering disapproval.

Some of them were also proud of their friends for their experiences. 8% of women congratulated their girlfriends for their one-night stand experience and 6% of them were happy for their male friends.

In the case of guys, 20% of them congratulate their male friends but only 9% of them congratulate their female friends.

The results show that both men and women are judged for their experiences, but women taste the bitter disapproval much more than their male counterparts.

  1. Even though you may be spending the whole night at your hookup’s place as you are unable to take your drunk self out of their apartment, the sexual encounters last only for 7 minutes on average. If you include the foreplay too, it lasts not more than 20 minutes.
  2. In its very first use, one-night stands were not really meant for reckless one-time sex. The term was first used in the 19th century to refer to the stands businesses had for one night during that time. Time passed and as people started to be more open with their sexual needs and one-time sexual interactions increased, the term got itself a sexual reference.
  3. College students go gaga over wanting to have sexual encounters with no strings attached; they tend to expect that their one-night stand will result in something more than a one-night thing. Almost 65% of women and 45% of men expect their one-night stand partners to be in a relationship with them.
  4. According to the 9-month research by the US sex researcher Dr. Zhana Vrangalova, people who enjoy casual sex and sleep around without any commitments experience less stress, improved state of mind, and better well being. The results also showed that their confidence in interacting and approaching the opposite gender enhances as well.
