Fun is definitely high on your girl's-weekend-away itinerary list. But what happens when that local hottie catches your eye?

Well, here are some tips that you should keep in mind for having that holiday fling…

When you planned that holiday with your girls, the last thing you expected was to have some hot holiday loving… especially if your trip is to overcome that horrible breakup.

But don’t go ignoring that local hottie who's decided to grab your attention. It may be the very thing you need to get back to your old self - enjoy your trip but take note…

Holiday fling crash course…

You see him from across the hall or your eyes meet at the bar of your hotel, he might even be your scuba instructor but whoever he is, he gets your heart pumping and your adrenaline rushing.

With his sun-kissed skin and laid-back personality, this local hottie has your attention.

So should you pursue?

Advice: If you are only up for a fling, make your attentions clear from the beginning to avoid any complicated situations.

Local can definitely be lekker…

Let’s face pairing off with a local has great benefits. You’ll get your own local guide to sights you may never have known about. If your hottie has a different culture to yours, then he'll broaden your horizons.

Advice: If you really like your holiday hottie, check with his crew to be sure he's not into regular summer flings. The worst thing you need is to be dating a serial holiday “playa”.

Keep your emotions in tact…

But in knowing that it’s just a fling, do try and keep your emotions in tact as far as possible.

This is only to avoid heartbreak when it’s time for you to leave.

He's fun and inspiring and it's oh so easy to overrate the excitement, especially when you're having such a good time. It's not always a good idea to get caught up in the exhilarating intimacy of the moment or forget why you truly there.

Advice: Remember you came with your girls! Try not to forget that. Don't spend all your time with him. Make time to be by yourself or to be with friends as the trip was for some girl time.

Taking it to the bedroom…

Holiday sex can be amazing.
The excitement of being on holiday, combined with hot sun-kissed bodies and a few drinks can put even the most demure person in the mood for sex, anytime.

Holiday romances are often intense, making it almost impossible to resist temptation.
But girls, don’t get carried away with the moment of having sex with a stranger.
Once the sun comes up, you could be left with more guilt and regrets than you bargained for.

Advice: Don't forget to use condoms otherwise you could return with a holiday gift you didn’t bargain for like a sexually transmitted infection.

So can it go beyond the holiday destination…

Things may have worked beautifully while on holiday… but reality can often bite
Love may fail when tested by the reality of day-to-day life.

You may discover it means something more, but don't get involved too quickly.

Advice: Be prepared to cope with a long distance relationship if it does work… and if it doesn’t, technically you shouldn't feel betrayed if you took this advice to heart - it was just a fling to begin with.

Adding to the advice...

If you have a boyfriend, please remember that fact...

Todays setup (And this article, it's not adding fuel to anything, just explaining the mindset) would make any boyfriend panic when his girlfriend wants to go on a 'girls-only' holiday, since many of us (I'm sure not just me) have experienced that it's not a 'girls-only' holiday, it's a 'no-boyfriends' holiday with a 'what-happens-in-[destination]-stays-in-[destination]', unless of course she or one of her friends decide to do the right thing and tell you about what happened.

And no, 'It was a mistake' and 'I'm so sorry' doesn't cut it, for the guys out there this happens to, remember, 'The way in is also the way out'.

I had the most amazing

I had the most amazing holiday fling in Europe with my girls last year.. Lasted all of 24 hours but it was so exhilarating.. I say go for it, have fun, you only live once.. just be safe!!

What?

How the hell can you give freaking advice like this in today's day and age. Giving people hints and tips on how to mess around while on holiday is a joke. How the hell can News24 allow this type of dribble.

You contradict yourself during the whole article. I cannot believe that this is how REAL woman think. Please someone prove me right.

You sound like a kid.............or a very lonely 20-30-40 odd who has a infintile understanding on how relationships work.

What

Im not sure why areyou making an issue out of the advice, it makes me wonder if you are not a victim of a holiday shag. Get off that horse you riding and have a holiday shag, i know your type who pretend to be digusted wherelse in reality you are fantasizing about that shag. Dont be holier thou art. So next time please follow the advice you might not have this attitude you having now.

Some people out there are

Some people out there are happy to be with one person for the rest of their lives you know?

I think that you need to grow up a bit, you have a lot to learn about respect for other people and for the one who you love.

What?

I don't want to make this personal, but you sound like you need a holiday shag.... soon

What???

I can't believe that there are people out there considering going for a holiday shag while still in a committed relationship. Before you go off bonking to your hearts content, imagine your partner doing it to their hearts content.

Then ask yourself, if you have to go off for a holiday shag, does it not mean you are not getting it at home and then what is the point of staying with that person, rather call it quits and then go do your deed.

LOL

Agreed, just last week I went off on a business trip and for the first time in 35 years had a rather lovely holiday shag.... DEFINATELY WORTH THE TRIP!!!

LOL

Are you married LOL??

What the hell?

Is this advice for dieing young?
