Are women more likely to regret one-night stands? Only when they sleep with men

Are women more likely to regret one-night stands? Only when they sleep with men

An international online survey found that women regret one-night stands more than men and that this difference is strongly associated with their ability to achieve an orgasm. Additionally, participants tended to report more regret when their levels of intoxication were higher. The paper was published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. Casual sexual relationships and experiences, commonly known as hook-ups, are intimate relationships that involve sexual activity without a commitment to a long-term romantic partnership. These dynamics have most often been investigated among North American university students, who experience casual sex so frequently that such experiences are considered an essential part of college culture by some authors. However, in recent decades, these sexual behaviors have become more common among the broader population thanks to online apps specifically designed for finding casual sex partners.

Just days ago, a game came out whose unlike­ly premise has already drawn a good deal of atten­tion. “Man­age your very own video store in the ear­ly 90s!” exclaims the descrip­tion of Retro Rewind. “Rent, sell, dec­o­rate and expand your busi­ness from the ground up and relive the gold­en ages of video rentals!” Those of us old enough to have relied on such estab­lish­ments for our ear­ly cin­e­mat­ic edu­ca­tion can all too eas­i­ly remem­ber how frus­trat­ing they could be, what with their phys­i­cal­ly lim­it­ed selec­tions, sel­dom-rewound tapes, and puni­tive late fees. Even so, younger gen­er­a­tions aren’t wrong to imag­ine that some were spe­cial places where it felt like a cinephile’s dreams could come true. Just ask Quentin Taran­ti­no. The clip above comes from Joe Rogan’s inter­view with Taran­ti­no and Roger Avary, who worked togeth­er at Man­hat­tan Beach’s Video Archives before they co-wrote Pulp Fic­tion. “Work­ing at that store, I just got caught up in the lit­tle life there,” Taran­ti­no says. Yet he also remem­bers him­self think­ing, “Well, this isn’t my dream. This isn’t what I want­ed …
