In Defense of the One-Night Stand | StarTalk


over one third of Americans have had a
one-night Sakshi almost 60% of had a
one-night stand but what’s interesting
about one-night stands over 30 percent
earned in a long-term partnership
there’s brain circuitry for why so
basically casual sex is not casual
unless you’re so drunk you don’t
remember it it’s not casual because
people that scan him this all the time
he he’s in a long-term marriage that
began as a one-night stand a lot of
people have I mean as I say over 30% of
people have had a one-night stand turn
into long-term relationship let’s find
out what he’s gonna tell us about
one-night stand I think that happens a
lot more often than we know because
people who meet because the one-night
stand has such a stake right people that
sleazy meetings they don’t tell their
kids about it if your parents met in
rehab if your parents met in a sex club
or a dungeon somewhere they’re not when
the back seat of a 57 Chevy they’re not
gonna tell you I actually wrote a series
of columns this is how long I’ve been
doing my advice column while Ann Landers
was writing her as she would wrote a
column a bunch of columns where she
invited her readers to share their how
they met stories and there were all
these meet-cute stories I danced with
this boy to USO dance during the war and
then we wrote letters to each other all
through the war then we met Brandon
whose generation who are now over all
like so innocent all of her stories but
I was just thinking about the people I
knew who were in successful loving
long-term relationships many of which
had really not innocent starts who met
who had one-night stands like Terry and
I did who met in rehab who you know had
a drunken three-way and then fell in
love with the acts of the guests at the
three-way the the third the spare and
despair and those are the stories you’re
gonna tell your grandparents or your
kids that never gets out no no no so we
have this distorted view of how a decent
loving relationship must start and then
people do this thing okay I have didn’t
Europe you made such an important point
there because if we give the view of
love and romance that we want to be true
and that’s what percolates then we
established culture and social mores
based on that so that if anyone is
different from it you
or that’s tragic it is tragic but it’s
actually not I think the most damaging
aspect of this sort of cultural belief
that no decent relationship can have a
sleazy start because people will
discount people as potential partners
that they had a sleazy meeting with they
will say I you know I might date this
person this might have been someone I
would date but look at what they did
like I couldn’t date this person we had
a one-night stand and no decent
relationship can grow from a one-night
stand so I can’t date this person and no
decent relationships grow all the time
from one-night stands
