If you do have sex, communication is key. Even if you have to stop, laugh, and suggest trying something else. This helps both people understand what they like or dislike, sexually. If nothing works out, then both people involved aren’t sexually compatible. It doesn’t mean you’ll never have good sex again, it doesn’t mean you can never please someone, it doesn’t mean you don’t like (insert their gender here). It means it didn’t work out.
When it comes to the notorious walk of shame, there are ways to avoid the physical walk. If you are eager, you could always wake up early and leave. Nothing is worse than waking up to an empty room, however, so at least leave a note. I know this isn’t the Victorian Age, but don’t leave them thinking you got kidnapped— or worse… that you didn’t like the sex. If you stay, get breakfast with them. Don’t pretend you never hooked up the night before, but treat them like a friend. If you’re comfortable enough with being inside each other you should be comfortable eating eggs and drinking some coffee.
Most importantly, the walk of shame is only shameful if you think it is. No one is going to point and say, ‘Hey! That guy had sex last night and didn’t like it!” The same goes if you did like it (although it would be much cooler to hear someone shout that).
As a final note, hooking up is something you should want to do. Never stress yourself out over it and never force yourself into anything. You’re in college, so go enjoy it with some cool people.
