Wondering what types of sex you have when you're single?
Whether you've been on the market for some time or you're freshly out of a relationship and ready to mingle, single life can have its moments where you're frankly still figuring out what the dating world is about. It's not meant to be fair. Most of the time it doesn't even have any logic and carries striking resemblances to you're mom's favourite TV show – with its variety of setbacks and pitfalls – anything from experimental sex to hookups you'll never ever want to talk about again.
Obviously, you've got to be careful when you take a guy home. You can't just jump into bed with someone because you're tired of being single. That being said, there are some hookups you are more susceptible to when you're single. Avoid some of them and strive for the others and things will be a whole lot better for you.

1. Drunk Sex
If you were sober then, you would have looked twice at the guy before taking his number.. While alcohol is a great inhibitor, the best sex I have ever had happened while sober, first because you can actually think on a clear head. Seriously, drunk hookups suck and the high only lasts until then hangover kicks in. Drunk sex is the, hands down, worst kind of the types of sex you have when you're single.

When it comes to sex, being single can be both liberating and overwhelming. On one hand, you have the freedom to explore your sexuality without the confines of a relationship. On the other, it can be difficult to determine which type of sex is right for you.
Drunk sex is one of the most common types of sex that single people have, but it’s not always the best option. While alcohol may help to reduce inhibitions, it can also impair judgment and make it difficult to make informed decisions about sex. Additionally, the effects of alcohol can be short-lived, meaning that the high that comes with drunk sex can quickly disappear once the hangover sets in.
Another type of sex that single people have is casual sex. This is when two people have sex without any expectation of a relationship or commitment. Casual sex can be a great way to explore your sexuality and have fun without any strings attached. However, it’s important to ensure that both parties are on the same page and that boundaries are respected.
2. Sex in a Field of Red Flags
You know this guy is not right for you, but you have a taste for danger...at least temporarily. Something about the way he wears that leather jacket, his eclectic music choices and the hint of cologne in that part of his neck just gets you. He has been upfront right away – this will not go anywhere. Yet somehow, the words don't match the picture. You were never good at lipreading anyway... oh well... as a guy once told me: “One day, you will meet a good guy, but tonight, you are staying with a jerk."

The allure of the bad boy is a trope as old as time, and you're living it – recklessly and with abandon. It's the excitement, that rush of adrenaline when he texts you at 2 AM - it's not love, but it sure is thrilling. Logic screams ''get out'', but desire whispers ''stay''. You're fully aware that you're treading on thin ice, playing with fire, and you tell yourself it’s just until Mr. Right comes along. But for now, you'll dance with the devil under the neon lights, despite the glaring signs screaming caution.
