How would you best classify this hookup? One-night stand

Tell us about your PARTNER(S). What did they look like? How well did you know them, had you hooked up before? How/Where did you meet them? How did you feel about them before the hookup? Fantastic body, skinny, brunette, dark eyes. We met at a networking event in London in 2007 long prior to my marriage and have communicated off and on ever since. I was instantly attracted to her and but not sure if the personality chemistry was there for a relationship

How/where did the hookup BEGIN? What led to it? Was planning involved? Who instigated it? I was separated from my spouse and happened to be in her part of London for a conference. Rather than commute 2 hours each way or get a hotel over there she said it would be fine if I crashed with her for a few nights. We were sitting on the couch and she reached over and began unbuttoning my shirt and took off her trousers.

What happened DURING the hookup? What sexual behaviors took place (e.g., oral, vaginal, anal, kinky stuff)? How did you feel during it? How did they behave toward you? Were they a good lover? What did you talk about? How did it end? I performed oral on her, nipple kissing, missionary, and scissor-style sex. All in all, she was magnificent in bed but made some strange orgasmic noises. She was enthusiastic and ready to go again the next morning. We agreed that as I am still married and uncertain of where my current relationship will go that this doesnt nee to be discussed or disclosed to third parties.

How do you feel about them now? I felt satisfied as I hadnt had proper sex in over a year but confused with my current status. I was hoping to see her again and we parted very amicably but when I visited with her at a friend’s family function she was distant and aloof and asked for a ten day break in communication.

What was the WORST thing about this hookup? The emotional ambiguity and cold treatment afterwards.

All things considered, how POSITIVE was this experience? A little positive

All things considered, how NEGATIVE was this experience? A little negative

Anything else you want to add about this hookup? The details are something I am unlikely to share with anyone except perhaps my therapist. If my marriage ends, this is a woman I will pursue but not in the near future.

What are your thoughts on casual sex more generally, the role it has played in your life, and/or its role in society? What would you like to see changed in that regard? I think it depends on the person. My marriage is in a dark place. The lack of intimacy and sex was a huge factor by both of us in getting us there. I enjoyed my sexual escapades in my 20s/early 30s in London but recognize the shallowness and regret not investing more in a few of them.
