Roughly 41 percent of men wouldn’t feel strongly either way about a friend’s choice – regardless of the friend’s gender. However, almost 8 percent of women toasted their gal pals on a night of pleasure, and over 6 percent of women congratulated a male friend.Īdditionally, men were more likely to feel neutral about a friend’s choice. However, nearly 20 percent of men praised other men. Only 9 percent of men said they congratulated a female friend on her one-night stand. While women and men are both judged for having one-night stands, women seem to be judged much more harshly when it comes to sexual gains. This chart may show the rationale behind why people are still so hush-hush about their one-night rendezvous. In America, 42 percent of women and about 34 percent of men stated they’d keep it to themselves. Still, 45 percent of European women and 39 percent of European men would tell no one. Roughly 48 percent of European women and almost 49 percent of European men would tell one or two close friends, while around 54 percent of American women and 58 percent of American men would do the same.

However, most people – regardless of gender or country – would tell one or two close friends. American men were less likely to tell anyone who would listen (just under 1 and a half percent), compared to over 4 percent of European men. Notably, no American women said they would “tell anyone who will listen,” although around 2 percent of European women stated that they would. The numbers were relatively close for European and American men and women. People have one-night stands – they’re just not bragging about it.

Even though more than half of European and American people surveyed had a one-night stand, almost all told two or fewer people about it.
