So This is When You’re More Likely to Have a One Night Stand

So This is When You’re More Likely to Have a One Night Stand

And no, it’s not after four martinis.

About half of men and women check their inhibitions along with their luggage when they go on vacation. A whopping 52 percent of men and 41 percent of women have had one night stands while traveling, according to a new survey conducted by HostelBookers.com. Hey, when in Rome (or Paris, or Fiji, or Daytona…).

The site surveyed over 11,000 travelers about their "juiciest travel sex secrets." Aside from the crazy-high number of one night stands that are happening around the world, they also found that 16 percent of people have cheated while traveling and 43.5 percent have slept with more than one person on the same trip. With all this sex going on, we can’t help but wonder if these travelers have actually seen any sights!

Hey, we get it: You're on vacation, feeling a little wild, and you'll probably never see this person again—it makes sense. That said, just because you're tossing out your inhibitions, that doesn't mean you can toss safety out the window, too. Use these guidelines to ensure a fun—and safe—foreign fling:

Stock Your Bag
If you think you may see more than just the local sights on your next trip, make sure to pack all the essentials, like condoms, your birth control, and even a spare prescription just in case you lose yours during the packing and unpacking frenzies. And if you’re not already on a reliable birth control method, you may consider picking up Plan B before you go just in case you have a condom slip-up abroad. Unfortunately, it’s not always available over the counter in another country.

Use the Buddy System
If you decide to leave your travel companions for a night out with someone you met, always make sure they know where you are, who you're with, and how to reach you. While you may want a little alone time with your foreign friend, safety should always come first.
