One night stands

After publishing posts on both infidelity and prostitution, the behaviour of one night stands interested me greatly. When prostituting one's body it entails an endless count of one night stands that are paid for, similarly in many cases of infidelity it can also include one night stands. Therefore if it is not being paid for and you are not cheating on another person are one night stands bad?



When analysing the behaviour of prostitution I put forward the argument that it is an invasion if a person's body which should be treated as a temple therefore if a one night stand does this, does it make the behaviour just as bad? Again from prostitution I stated that sexually transmitted diseases are increasingly caught therefore in a one night stand is this behaviour not exposed one again? From these proposed arguments I believe it would insinuate that a one night stand is a bad behaviour.



However, unlike prostitution one night stands do not break the law, similarly in the case of infidelity one night stand do not cause direct harm to a third party, therefore if the behaviour is carried out for natural pleasure is this really bad? In an earlier blog masturbation was investigated, when comparing this to one night stands would it not have to be said if one behaviour is bad so it the other, as both are carried out to create pleasure.



It could be argued that a one night stand is behaviour far worse than both prostitution and infidelity. This could be due to the fact that, at least from prostitution some type of entrepreneurial motive is the reasoning for the behaviour. Also, for infidelity in many cases it is found that affairs can last for years meaning emotions and feelings are felt for the other person rather than it being simply meaningless sex.



Via the link http://www.guardian.co.uk/theobserver/2000/aug/06/featuresreview.review1 it presents you with an article 'I had a one-night stand. It could have killed me' from the Observer in 2000. Personally it did not tell me anything I did not already know but presents in a real life story the fact that one night stands can expose for example HIV, from people you hardly know. The article draws to the conclusion that overall one night stands are bad.
