Difficult one!
Hmmm, well, I've only had one one night stand and it was great! He was a lovely man, he made me feel beautiful and special and he was very gentle and attentive and it lasted hours. The next day, he did not make me feel bad about it, rather he gave me a note thanking him for a wonderful night, and came to find me later to kiss me. All of these things combined to erase any guilt or regret or embarrassment and so my first experience of a 1 night stand was all fun with no hurt.
But I know I'm one of the lucky ones and that most people's experiences do not go like this. If I was ignored by the man or made to feel bad about it by him afterwards, or if one of us was in a relationship, I would have had an altogether different and unpleasant experience.
