text: is a one night stand really worth it?   worth it for what?  if your intention is to have a fantastic night of no-strings attached sex, then it can definitely be worth it.  it can also suck (when you're with a stranger, you can't guarantee they'll be a good lover), but you'll probably end up with a sexual release.  if your intention is anything else, well, then why are you seeking it in a one night stand?  i doubt it will fulfill it- not to mention that one night stands often leave people feeling empty, alone, and shameful.  some people love them and feel no ill effects; most people want some type of intimacy and affection with their sex, or at least some connection and find one night stands lacking.  it depends on what you want out of it.  be careful, use protection, and act wisely.
