" Around the same time , a random dude messaged me and take if I was with her and was saying , ' she has herpes and did n’t tell you . ' "
Thethings people do for lovecan be surprising — but when it comes to lust? That’s a whole different story. People will jump through hoops, or even rings of fire, just to get laid.
It’s a universal experience: giving in to our deepest desires for a fleeting moment of satisfaction. Sometimes it leads tolaugh-out-loud stories; other times, to major regret.
A recent thread on the r/AskRedditsubredditasked users to sharethe stupidest things they’ve done for lust, and the responses did not disappoint.
From driving for hours through snowstorms to hooking up with strangers in parking lots, lust often overrides logic in ways that are as wild as they are relatable. And in some rare cases? These impulsive decisions have even led to lasting relationships. Here are 19 of the most outrageous things people have done in the name of lust:
1.“Alright, I fully expect no one to believe this story, but…when I was almost 20, I worked at a pizza restaurant. I met this woman nine years older than me, and we immediately clicked. She was hot, wild, adventurous, and…thoroughly married to this tatted barbarian-esque dude about thrice my size.”
2.“A girl that I was dating woke me up by calling me whenever she got home from the bar with friends. She had a few drinks and was with another frisky lady friend, and was begging me to come over for a threesome.”
" I got dressed and drove across town at 2:00 a.m. as quick as I could … only to line up them both pass out in different rooms , with little recollection about the telephone call . It was a very disappointing drive back home alone . "

3.“Drove from Long Island to Boston in a blizzard so bad that I only crossed Northeast Connecticut and Massachusetts successfully by slaloming in the wake of semi-trucks the whole stretch of I-84 and the Mass Pike. Totally worth it, she’s my wife now.”
4.“Listened to all of her podcasts so I could have ‘things to talk about’…ended up coming off as a full-blown creep who knew way too much about her. Definitely not worth it.

5.“I had all my papers ready to attend UBC, but instead followed a girl I’d met on Skype to Finland. She ended up banging a few friends of hers in our apartment. I still live in Finland, though.”

6.“I once confessed to a girl as we were walking down the road how much I was in love with her and how very, very badly I wanted her. Almost on cue, we came up to an old train track that had been asphalted over, but you could still see the bulge of one of the railroad spikes. She said, ‘If you pull that out, you got it.'”
7.“Met a woman at a parking lot to go have sex out in the woods. Basically, I was willing to risk having my organs harvested to get a little something something. And it was worth it. The sex was phenomenal. We hooked up off and on for a couple of months, and to this date, I still have all of my original organs.”

8.“This girl randomly messaged me on Facebook to hang out. We weren’t friends on there, were never friends IRL, and never had the same friend groups. All I knew was that she lived in my town and was friends with a girl I went to middle school with, and she looked familiar. That’s it. When she randomly messaged me and asked to hangout, I was in an Xbox party chat with my friend, so I was just messing around not taking it seriously and said, ‘not unless you want your ass ate, lol’ she said ‘OK, lol,’ and then I met up with her, parked down some road, and got in her car. I had never eaten ass before, so I ate her ass for like 20 seconds and then stopped, put it in, lasted maybe 45 seconds, and then was like ‘welp, guess I’ll see you later.’ She chuckled and said bye. By the time I got home, she had messaged me 4-5 times saying, ‘Oh btw, I have herpes, you might want to get checked.'”
9.“Bailed on all of my friends and family during family day after basic training in the Army to hook up with this chick who was pretty much the biggest walking red flag. If we’d gotten caught, I could have ruined my entire career. As it was, she ended up trying to baby trap me because her goal was to fake an injury and get kicked out after I knocked her up so she could still get Army benefits. She ended up doing the same thing a few weeks later to another guy, but he actually knocked her up.”

10.“Let my ex pour maple syrup all over me in an attempt to fulfill his food fantasy. So. Fucking. Sticky. But we did have a REALLY good laugh.”
11.“We both lusted heavily for one another and worked in the same building. We had sex in a room where the lights were off, but the door didn’t lock. We finished. She left first. I waited a few minutes. In that brief interval, someone walked in and flipped on the lights…and I had to awkwardly say something about ‘just getting up from the chair after resting my eyes’ to get out. The first week of scratching that itch, we took two-hour lunches for three days…raised some eyebrows in her office, so we had to stop that. Totally worth it. Mid-20s when it happened, and it was electric.”

12.“I let a guy I met online have sex with me in a FedEx parking garage, and then we continued across the street in a Panera bathroom. 10/10.”
13.“Moved cities to be closer to her. Saw her once when I moved back, and she definitely either forgot we were supposed to meet up or didn’t give a shit about it. We went from talking every day constantly to not talking. On the bright side, I’m back in my home city, and life has improved significantly.”

14.“Stayed with a person who legitimately hated me because sex was excellent, A1, impeccable. Absolutely not, would not do again. I have since been with equal and better partners, so the staying was just for naught.”

15.“In university, I had a crush on my limnology TA. I joined a group that decided to do a polar bear plunge in a lake in Algonquin Park in November just so he could see me in my bathing suit and maybe get some ideas.”

17.“I went to Cuba some years ago with my family, and some girl was giving me eyes while I sat with my parents watching a show. I excused myself and sat beside her, where she suddenly stuck her tongue down my throat. We were making out when I distinctly remember her hugging me around my waist. We later went to the nearby stairwell and had sex. I woke up the next morning, hungover and missing my phone and a fair bit of Cuban Pesos (which were in my pocket). I also got crabs. Not worth it.”
18.“Hooked up with a girl when I spent a few months in Japan. Went out with her often and eventually started falling for her. I arranged for her to come over to where I lived shortly after I went back home. Paid for her flight, had her stay with me, bought everything for her when she was here, and by the time she left, I thought we could maybe start a long-distance relationship. About a month later, she suddenly tells me she met someone else and proceeds to ghost me. This was back before smartphones and social media became the norm, so it was really hard to contact her in general. She had no internet presence, and the only way we contacted her was through Messenger and her email.”
" Five or so twelvemonth afterward , I was cleaning out my e-mail inbox and stumbled onto old substance between us and decide to e-mail her just for the hell of it . Interestingly enough , she e-mail me back but only to enjoin me she ’s married and never to contact her again . All in all , no , not deserving it . "

19.“There’s a lot to list, but I think my worst judgment was when I was about 18. I was talking to this girl I met online, and drove about 25 miles to see her in the middle of the night. This was back when I had to print out maps from MapQuest and she lived deep in the hills above Hollywood.”
