Do you think one night stands are morally wrong?

Question

Why or why not?

Answer 1

Although I wouldn't go out of my way to judge to many people who do this I do believe one night stands are morally wrong whether the people are consenting adults or not. Every time someone does this it devalues the act of sex. Sure sex doesn't have to have any emotional baggage and can be casual but that doesn't make it the right way to do it. A lot of people call casual sex animal sex and they're right but we are not animals (even if you believe in evolution), we have considerably more developed emotions than any animal and whether you like it or not these emotions have an effect on us. Those not effected by emotions are sociopathic and I think a person can develop a sort of socipathic way about them in dealing with certain situations; in this case sex. Some people develop an attitude of 'this is something you just do' and learn to detach their emotions from the sex act as they might detach their emotions from a job. Sex then becomes impersonal and devalued.

Personaly I have only considered casual one night stand sex twice and am glad I didn't do it because I know I would have regreted it. I probably would have also felt ashamed of it and resentful toward the girl I did it with. It is also dangerous because of diseases regardless of condom use, something a lot of sexperts nowadays don't seem to get as they promote promiscuity to the masses.

I think sex should only be between people who care for one another, whether they are in a deep relationship or just friends.

Answer 2

Why would you even ask that question unless you think that one night stands are morally wrong.

It's amazing to me that sex is a recreational sport these days. Unfortunately, the price for this type of recreation can be a life of misery due to HIV, STD's etc.

Give your life it's best shot. Find someone you love and have a long term (like life-time) relationship with. After 46 years of marriage and 5 children, I can tell you that it's the greatest gift you can give to yourself.

Answer 3

I think that one night stands are morally wrong because we should only be giving ourselves to the person whom we are going to spend the rest of our lives with. When you have sex with someone, there is an exchange, when you have sex with another person after that, you are taking a piece of the last person along. Souls tend to get mixed up, and strange things happen. We need to be careful who we give ourselves to.

Answer 4

I don't think there's anything wrong with one-night stands... Would would there be? To me, it's like asking if eating ice cream is morally wrong, and why or why not. I don't have an explanation as to why I feel that eating ice cream is ok - it just feels to me that it is.

Answer 5

I think people have no right to judge each other.

For some people sometimes, maybe.

For me, the risk of disease says make sure you won't catch anything bad, or at least 99%

Then if you and she like each other, maybe a 50 night , no lying down is better, maybe only a few times standing, experience

Answer 6

is the man or the woman getting paid for the sex?

someone is being used in this type of relationship. maybe one or maybe both. are the two participants being completely honest with each other and them self?

if you are just a couple of dogs in heat, have no expectations of any relationship, neither of you are presently committed to another relationship, neither of you benefit financially or socially, both of you are completely honest about any diseases you are presently a carrier of then i would say no it is not moraly wrong.

if any one of the conditions are not met, then a one night stand could turn into a long term problem.

Answer 7

no I don't think that it's morally wrong because were human beings and if your not a virgin then you get urges to ''feel good'' and sometimes you just need relief... It's human nature to lust even though it might only be one night with one person that you might not see again.. it does not mean that there is something wrong if you give in to that and it also doesn't make you who you are because of this :) :) :)

Answer 8

Definitely. Don't you feel cheap doing this? It's morally wrong, not to mention whatever disease you may get from the man. Also, it's against God's law. Even if you don't believe in God, it's just wrong.

Answer 9

I think that all depends on your religious beliefs. I personally think if you made it a habit, yes it is morally wrong. If it happens once or twice with two consenting adults then it's not so bad (as long as they are careful).

Answer 10

Yes, because, in my opinion it displays a total lack of self worth on the part of the female. Men typically are predatory and on the hunt so it is to be expected of them...and can take only what a female freely gives......
