Dear Drawer Mistress,

I need sex! I don't want a relationship - just a shag. I need something more then my vibrator can give me and have become ambidextrous in my ability to get myself off with either hand. I want a hot blooded man. So what are the things I should know in order to have a great one night stand.

Dear Miss Need a Shag,

To ensure a one night stand satisfaction, I present to you the 10 Commandments for One Night Stands.

1. Thou shalt always, always, ALWAYS practice safe sex - you don't know where that boy has been and whether or not you are just one in a conga line of one night stands. If you think there is a chance of getting down and dirty, slip a Just in Case condom compact in your bag...just in case.
2. Thou shalt not enter into a one night stand under false pretences in the hope that it will develop into a relationship. It's called a one night stand for a reason.
3. Thou shalt always follow one's gut instinct. If something doesn't feel right or you aren't comfortable then don't go through with it. You're not just being paranoid.
4. Thou shalt not steal (or borrow as it may be) another woman's husband, boyfriend or girlfriend for a night stand - find a partner with no attachments. Remember karma can be a bitch...
5. Thou shalt not obliterate oneself with drugs or alcohol prior to having a one night stand. Falling over, slurring your words (even if you are talking dirty) and passing out are not sexy. Stay sober and in control of the situation. If you can't go through with it sober, then you aren't ready to have a one night stand.
6. Thou shalt always have an escape route planned. Whether it is taxi money, a car or a friend picking you up, make sure you have the means to get out of there quickly if things go belly up.
7. Thou shalt do the walk (taxi ride) of shame home afterwards with a smile on one's face and a spring in one's step - you just got laid.
8. Thou shalt always tell a friend where you are going and the name and phone number of the lucky man - just in case.
9. Thou shalt not starfish it. If you are not going to play hard to get, make sure you are hard to forget. Put a little effort in please ladies.
10. Thou shalt enjoy one's self. Leave all your insecurities at the door (or at the bar as it may be) and enjoy yourself. You're there for a good time not a long time.
