While there’s a lot to be said for long-term relationships, many men (and women) also enjoy a one-night stand - a no-strings-attached romp in bed with someone who is usually a stranger. When a man has an excited penis, sometimes nothing is quite the same as a "no commitment, no worries" sexual escapade. Naturally, a guy wants to have been practicing proper penis health so that his equipment is in good shape for such an experience, but there are other considerations to ponder as well before embarking on a one-night stand.

Protection is paramount.

Just because a guy is unlikely to see a woman after sating his excited penis doesn’t mean that he can’t take an unwanted souvenir or two home from a one-night stand. As a matter of fact, it could be argued that the more casual the encounter and the less known about the partner, the more important it is to make sure that proper protection is used to minimize the risk of both STIs and unwanted pregnancy.

Many men need to really have this drilled into their heads. In the heat of the moment, it’s very important not to embark on a sexual journey without (1) checking to determine if there are any issues in the partner’s sexual past that could cause concern and (2) using a condom (as well as other forms of protection). Men need to remember: It’s simply not worth it.

Be prepared for awkwardness.

Some one-night stands are near perfection; both parties are on the same wavelength, have the same ideas about what they’re getting into and connect on at least a sexual level. But sometimes, things don’t go so smoothly.
For example, if it takes a long time to get from the night club or bar where the two participants meet to the bedroom, the passion can cool off. Conversation may be forced in order to rid what feels like awkward silence, creating a stiff environment (and not in the pants).

In another scenario, things may go beautifully all the way through the actual sex - but afterwards, the participants may become self-conscious or regretful. In some cases, one of the partners may want to stay the night while the other wants the experience to end. And, of course, sometimes one partner wants the one night to stretch into something longer term - which is fine, except that the other partner may not share this desire.

There’s not a one-size-fits-all answer to these moments of awkwardness, but here are some tips to remember:

- If a woman changes her mind and says no, a man needs to respect that. No matter how aroused he may be and how much frustration (or anger) he may feel, he cannot proceed against her wishes.

- If there’s likely to be a lengthy trip from pick-up to home, try to be prepared for it. For example, taking a taxi allows a man to be free to express himself physically. Heavy kissing in the backseat may keep the mood hotter than forced conversation when the man’s behind the steering wheel.

- If a woman decides after the fact that she would like to move beyond a one-night relationship and the man does not share this desire, he should make this clear. He should be as respectful and as considerate as possible, but it’s better to be clear about it than to lead her on or to promise that he will call and then not do so.

Hopefully, any one-night stand will be equally satisfying for both partners. That excited penis is likely to impress this transient partner much more if it is obviously in good health. Using a superior penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can be a big plus in this area. Many men’s members have a cracked, wrinkly look to them because the skin is not being adequately cared for. Use of a crème with a potent antioxidant such as alpha lipoic acid helps offset harmful oxidative stress that causes that prematurely aged look. Also important: a crème with L-arginine, as that enzyme plays a role in producing nitric oxide and therefore in ensuring proper penis blood flow.
