Ah yes, pragmatism. It is a very attractive philosophy for analyzing actions. Afterall, nobody wants to live an impractical life. But since all actions are pragmatic on some timescale (the next 5 minutes, the next 20 years, eternity), the philosophy justifies every action, dependent only on your time-horizon. Ultimately, pragmatism is just a special case of "the ends justify the means."

Yes, if you only cared about what happens tonight, then a one-night stand would seem to make sense to you. But if you're thinking about the rest of your life, then a one night stand doesn't make any sense -- at best it's a waste of your precious time.
But if you're not a utilitarian/pragmatist, then your time-frame is morally irrelevant -- you will decide your actions based on the nature of the actions you are considering.
