If the person was extremely attractive and didn’t explain why she was interested, then I would be suspicious that it’s some kind of criminal setup, like a robbery or mugging. But I’d be fine with it if they explained that they were curious about having sex with someone of my race. ---

Yes. What’s with all the disclaimers and qualifiers and conditions? ---

> [@jtur88](#): > > Yes. What’s with all the disclaimers and qualifiers and conditions? To narrow the field. If the person offering the roll in the hay were unattractive, there’d be no question. Likewise if the person answering is categorically opposed to one-nighters. ---

Why should I care anymore if it’s for this reason, or because I made a good joke, or because she likes my haircut, or because we share the same passion for underwater basket weaving? ---

Why not? How many racial or ethnic physical appearance traits are the result of sexual selection? All of them? Don’t even the ones that could be potential survival traits need sexual approval? There are so many trivial reasons that could attract a person, like their haircut, their clothes or the way they lean against their expensive automobile. I don’t see why a different racial makeup should be any different if that’s what they are hot for. Although when you see someone that always goes for that one certain \_\_\_\_ thing and can’t see the rest of the package, then they are \_\_\_\_ freaks. The one night stand part is maybe more odd to me. It’s like finding a sack of money in the middle of nowhere. It’s weird to walk off with it. It’s like it should be turned into authorities and if in 30 days no one claims it, it’s yours. And since you didn’t work for it, maybe you should give a percentage to charity. ---

Sure, you want to know what an Englishman’s like in the sack, I’ll do my best to see you form a good impression. Back when I was young and horny, anyway. ---

My answer isn’t included in the poll: “Already have”. 😃 It was fun. He was a nice guy. ---

I’m betting there’s a male/female gap a mile wide on this one. I bet you’re right. My vote was hypothetical, since I’m in a long-term exclusive relationship (married).
