You're both committed to a few more encounters because of the physical attraction, and you can't back out now. After a one-night encounter, you feel humiliation and remorse. This is why women frequently regret one-night encounters, since it does not stop with one night. The feeling of remorse comes from society's view of this type of relationship. In the ancient Greek culture, for example, there was a belief that if you gave a woman pleasure only once and then discarded her, you would be cursed by gods and demons. Today, we know this is not true, but some people still believe this! In fact, there are two reasons why you might feel bad after a one-night stand: social stigma and physical withdrawal symptoms. First, there is social stigma against one-night stands. Most people think that this type of relationship is very disrespectful to the woman - especially if you have no intention of seeing her again. Even if you plan to contact the woman later, many men feel guilty after one-night stands because they fear being rejected. Second, there are physical withdrawal symptoms that can appear after a one-night stand. Most men experience mild sexual arousal immediately after the incident, but this usually goes away within hours. However, for some men, the physical attraction may last longer - which can lead to trouble when trying to get rid of this obsession.
