In this on-demand, technology-obsessed era, no-strings-attached sex seems easier to come by than ever. As you can probably imagine — or may know from personal experience — location is everything. Theoretically, you can hook up with a soon-to-be one-night stand anywhere, but according to Saucy Dates, a casual dating site, some locations are more popular than others, as far as the meeting location is concerned. In a recent survey of over 10,000 of their members, the found the best places to find a one-night stand.
'I think people like the idea of a one-night stand, as you can be more experimental and adventurous,' David Minns, Founder of Saucy Dates, tells Bustle. 'Additionally, many responders commented that they liked the excitement of someone new. If it doesn't work out, then nothing is lost — if it does, you have some experiences you can carry forward to a future relationship.'
Rachel Needle, Psy.D., licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist in West Palm Beach, FL, says there are definitely benefits of a one-night stand. 'It can be liberating and stress-free to have sex with someone with no expectations for where the relationship is going or what the emotional impact having sex will have on you or your partner,' she tells Bustle. 'Additionally, there are no expectations as far as performance goes, and this allows us to be more sexually free and take the pressure off that we often put on ourselves during sex. Also, one-night stands can serve as a great ego boost. It feels good to be able to have someone want to have sex with you solely based on your looks, charm, and the skills you have that night.'
The go-to pie joint for all of your favorite celebs (seriously), it's also the best place for apple pie in the greater Los Angeles area. So the next time you're living large and sharing your pie with the Kardashians and Kanye, know that you'll be served the best apple pie with thick caramel and flaky crust with three scoops of decadent homemade vanilla ice cream. Honestly I'm not the biggest fan of it, but you just have to include Insanity Nightclub in Sukhumvit Soi 11 in this top 5 because it really is one of the best places to hook up with Thai girls in Bangkok's nightlife. Yes, the majority of them are working girls but just like with the other places listed here the supply of girls by far.
- That's what hook-up culture and sexual liberation is all about! The key, though, is being respectful. It's totally fine to be 'naughty,' but be a naughty gentleman.
- Theoretically, you can hook up with a soon-to-be one-night stand anywhere, but according to Saucy Dates, a casual dating site, some locations are more popular than others, as far as the meeting.
But it's also important to be safe when it comes to casual sex, whether you're having sex with someone just once or hooking up with a friend with benefits. 'It is important that both parties are not drunk and are, therefore, able to consent and communicate about the hookup,' Dr. Needle says. 'In addition, remember to protect yourself as much as possible from STIs (sexually transmitted infections) by using protection in every step of the 'hookup.'
So without further ado, here are the top 10 venues to find a one-night stand, according to Saucy Dates' findings.
Fifteen percent of respondents reported meeting their one-night stands on the street. Who knew?! This will definitely make you think twice the next time you take a walk, right?
Yep, the good-old standard, a bar, made second place with 14 percent of respondents. It tied with 'a party' for where to meet a one-night stand. I guess the two are similar: You're out with friends (or not), you're drinking (or not), and there are plenty of eligible men and women in your vicinity.
If you find yourself at a hotel — perhaps for a casual drink or perhaps as part of a business trip — casual sex may be in the picture, too. Eleven percent of respondents said hotels were a good place to find a one-night stand. Now you know!
Nine percent of those surveyed said nightclubs are good places to pick people up for a night of sex. When you think about it, it makes sense, since you may already be in close contact with strangers while dancing with them.
Have you ever gone to a wedding alone? If so, were you seated at the singles' table? Eight percent of Saucy Dates respondents said weddings are great venues to find a one-night stand. After all, romance is in the air (as well as an open bar!).
Need proof? A friend of mine had a one-night stand at a wedding, and he and the woman ended up dating for three years. So not all one-night stands end at one night!
Next time you're on the train or bus, look around: Your next one-night stand could be sitting right behind you. Seven percent of those surveyed said public transportation makes for a good place to find a one-night stand. Maybe the thought of this will make your morning commute more enjoyable.
You may know people who go to the gym not to work out, but to pick people up. Well, they're not alone. Saucy Dates found that five percent of people use the gym, as well as museums, for more than the free weights or art exhibits.
Neighbors make for an easy way to meet new people, including one-night stands. Four percent of respondents said so, and it's not surprising. Plus, you already have mutual friends, which means you may trust that your soon-to-be one-night stand is a legit person you have a built-in level of comfort with versus a total stranger.
The next time you're shopping, you may be shopping for more than food or clothes. You may be asking someone's advice about fruit or a sale item one minute, and then find yourself at their apartment the next. Three percent of people said they found one-night stands this way. Who knew talking about tomatoes (or some other seemingly benign thing) could lead to so much more?
Concerts and online dating (dating apps and sites) came in 10th place as venues to find a one-night stand, with two percent of respondents choosing them. Is anyone else in shock about dating apps and sites coming in 10th place? Wow.
Overall, did any of the locations to find a one-night stand surprise you? 'The two biggest venue shocks had to be online dating and the street,' Minns says of the findings. 'The image that dating apps and sites have generated a hookup culture doesn't seem to fit in our findings — longer-term casual relationships appear to be the norm, which can then develop further. Also, the street coming out as number one was a total surprise. But, in reflection, it seems to make perfect sense. Maybe we will see more people trying this technique.'
I'm curious, too, if more people will try to pick up more one-night stands on the street. In any case, the above definitely makes you think twice about some of the one-night stand meeting locations, that's for sure!

South Korea is one of those places where people do not hesitate to talk about hookups in general. In other words, this is a highly developed and modern country. The majority of local people use all the possibilities to get laid without further consequences.
However, the situation gets a little bit harder when it comes to foreign men. For some reason, the image of a perfect-looking man is way too different when we compare it with the one South Korean women have in their heads. In this case, foreigners start doubting about themselves.
Nonetheless, it is actually possible to get laid in South Korea if you know what local ladies expect to get from you. First of all, you need to realize that you are in an Asian country, which has an absolutely different culture.
For example, you are not going to look like a macho man if you have any facial hair. In fact, the biggest part of young South Korean girls openly hate it. Additionally, you can say the same thing about chest hair and other parts of your body.
So, make sure to shave as much of your body hair as you can before going on a date with a South Korean woman. You may find yourself in an awkward situation once you get her in bed and she will lose all the desire to hookup with you.
Down below you will learn more about how you can arrange a casual hookup in South Korea. It does not matter whether it is your first time in this country. Keep reading to find out more.
South Korean hookup culture is actually different
As has been already mentioned, the majority of local people do not see anything bad in having random sexual interrelations. Therefore, it is quite easy to get laid in this country if you know at least the most basic rules. Although, keep in mind that your previous experience in having a hookup may not work there.
Firstly, you should realize that you cannot touch a South Korean woman you enjoy. It does not matter if she seems nice to you and you are having a good time. Even if you are in a nightclub or disco, you should keep your hands to yourself. This is a part of their culture when men are not allowed to touch girls in public.
Secondly, do not be too annoying since it will not help you get acquainted with a South Korean lady you like. If she has decided to blow you off, she will definitely do it anyway. Otherwise, you take a huge risk to look silly in other people's eyes who are hanging around you.
Thirdly, you should be careful with alcoholic drinks. The same concerns South Korean women you want to drink with. Keep in mind that the biggest part of them never get drunk or anything like this. They prefer to have a few cocktails just to relax and remain conscious at the same time.
In fact, all these three rules are working for most Asian countries and cities in these places. You just need to read more about these important details before visiting South Korea.
Do South Korean women like Western males at all?
You may find it hard to believe but a lot of South Korean ladies consider it trendy to date a foreigner. The same goes for having a random hookup with a man from the Western world. Some South Korean girls actually admit that they do not like their local men at all. They prefer those ones who come from the West.
Nonetheless, it does not mean that they consider you a perfect man. They will still try to change your image just to look ideally. It depends on you whether you will accept it just to have a one-night stand or you will pass out.
This is what makes Asian hookup culture so different in comparison with the Western one. Local females prefer taller, more muscular, and brutal men indeed. Although, they still want them not to have facial hair or anything that reminds them of a Western type of men.
Are casual hookup apps working in South Korea?
Another difference that is easy to notice when you arrive in South Korea is their love for the Internet. Besides, local people enjoy everything that is connected with high technologies and innovations.
Yep, the good-old standard, a bar, made second place with 14 percent of respondents. It tied with 'a party' for where to meet a one-night stand. I guess the two are similar: You're out with friends (or not), you're drinking (or not), and there are plenty of eligible men and women in your vicinity.

What South Korean city to choose for a hookup?
Territorially, South Korea is not the biggest country for sure. However, the population there is more than 51,000,000 people. Therefore, this country is famous for its highly developed metropolitan cities.
Seoul – is a place you must visit just because it is the capital of the country. Its population is about 10 million of people. It is one of the biggest and most expensive cities in Asia. You will easily find South Korean women looking for the best hookup here. It is because of their westernization and the desire to be closer to the rest of the world.

A lot of South Korean girls go out to sunbathe if the weather is warm enough. During the nighttime, a lot of fun nightclubs are open. You will always find someone to hookup with there.

Besides, the prices are noticeably lower there than in Seoul or Busan, for example.
South Korean women's behavior before a hookup
A lot of South Korean girls tend to hide their actual intentions concerning random hookups with foreigners. You can easily notice it in their eyes but they will never admit it. Therefore, you should watch carefully in order not to lose a South Korean lady's hint.
Moreover, they will never approach a man even if they like him completely. You should always take the initiative yourself. The same rules are applied not only to a casual hookup in South Korea but also dating.
Even if you see that a particular South Korean woman is single, you will have to come up to her first. In addition, you should be ready to see that she is trying to pretend a shy lady. However, do not trust her and keep talking to her.
