意味

A one-night stand — a sexual encounter with someone you don't intend to see again.

Borrowed from English 'one night (stand),' ワンナイト is used casually among friends to describe hookup culture. It's common in conversations about dating app experiences and nightlife. While not as taboo as it once was, it's still a topic kept among close friends and not discussed in polite or formal company.

1. あの人ワンナイト目的っぽいからやめとき。
2. ワンナイトのつもりだったのに連絡先聞かれて困った。
3. ワンナイトで終わるのは寂しいよね。
