A one-night stand is originally a single night theatre performance (usually a guest group on tour), and today more commonly also a single sexual encounter between individuals, where at least one of the parties has no immediate intention or expectation of establishing a longer-term sexual or romantic relationship.
The individuals participating in a one-night stand typically have not known each other long and have had minimal time to get to know each other before engaging in sexual activity. A one-night sexual encounter is not necessarily always a one-night stand; the crucial distinction is the expectation or intention that the relationship will not necessarily be extended beyond the initial sexual encounter. A one-night stand is differentiated from prostitution, as it takes place without direct payment of money and from a casual relationship, which may not initially involve sex. The term came from the expression one night stand, used for a touring theatrical company who would make a single performance in one locale before moving on to the next engagement, and to a place where such a performance was given.
A one-night stand can be thought of as an irregular and unplanned sexual encounter between individuals. The participants will usually have little or no contact with one another aside from sex. Thus it is possible to have mulitple one-night stands with the same person, provided that there is no regularity to the encounters or planning involved in the encounters. However, where the people involved have a regular sexual relationship without romantic involvement, this is generally considered a casual relationship (also referred to using terms such as "no strings attached"/NSA, "**** buddies", or "friends with benefits"/FWB), and is generally considered distinct from the one-night stand phenomenon.
In Western culture, there is sometimes a social stigma associated with one-night stands, reflected in the phrase "walk of shame", wherein a participant in a one-night stand has to go home in the morning wearing clothes that were worn the previous night. As the name implies, the relationship only "stands", or exists, for one night.

A one night stand, is where you met someone that night, and have sex with them, and the next morning either they are gone, or soon will be, and you never see them again...

a one night stand is just sexual relations with someone for one night only ( or one afternoon..whatever may apply)
sex just once with no strings..no ties...no relationship.
a one night stand is about loss.
if it's an amazing experience..you're haunted by it.
if it is a not nice experience then you feel used.
either way..it's about loss...
what never will be..or what never should have been.
a one night stand is not a good idea for anyone.

A one night stand is hooking up with someone for one night of sex with no strings attached and never seeing them again. One night, no strings.

When two people get together simply to have sex with no further "dating". Usually happens when two people meet at a club or party or are on vacation.
