Do you still keep in touch with your ONS partner?

Hi! I have read somewhere that 70% of people who go through a ONS, try to keep in touch with their partner, and I wonder if that's true. A few days ago I lost my virginity during a ONS and I don't regret it. I am not in love with that guy, because I only knew him for a couple of hours, and it was nothing more than phisical attraction. Before this I used to be very emotional, and I was sure that this kind of experience would affect me deeply, but it hasn't, and now I am ready to forget about the guy and move on. Is this normal? Do people forget about their ONS partner or do they usually keep in touch?

Thanks.
I've never had one so I can't say whether I have kept in touch or not. However it varies for the people who do have them. A lot of the time though one person tries to keep in touch but the other person isn't interested.

I'd say the whole point of a one night stand is that you don't really keep in touch, haha.

I've never really had a one night stand though. The closest was a guy I met at a party, did everything but sex with...quite liked him, so we met up 2 weeks later, had sex and never spoke again. Haha.
I can see that happening with my guy that I'm gonna meet up with for a one night stand. We've been in contact for a few months having met during my gap year (long story to do with strict parents but we can't meet up until uni) and we're gonna meet up for some fun but to be honest I can't see it turning into a meaningful relationship, I just wanna lose my virginity and he just wants to take it, that's all there is to it :biggrin:

ONS are meant to be one night, why would you keep in contact? :confused:

It depends on what sort of person you are as to if you can just walk away from a sexual partner. My best friend has to stay with one sexual partner for a while or she feels "cheap". If you can do it then fine, if you like it go for it.

And I stay in contact with **** buddies ... in fact I DID stay in contact with one guy I slept with at a party, but he thought that I was datable material, haha
