MrsKatherineArch · 41-45, F

Danger!!!! Intimacy is far more than just the physical aspect.

nevergiveup · M

SW-User

Worked for me inbetween relationships at University. I wouldn't want to do it from thirties onwards.

Kim1975 · 46-50, F

Can be a perfect solution to a no relationship issue ...with alot more fun

LittleUnicorn · 26-30

That wouldn't work for me irl cos I'm always the one who's caching feelings 🙄🔫

OKWTF2 · 51-55, M

It has worked for me, still friends (with out benefits) with most.

JupiterDreams · 31-35

It's not my thing.

Sonjicak · 46-50, F

@JupiterDreams: I try once but is not finished good, I fall in love

JupiterDreams · 31-35

I'm sorry that happened... *hugs* I know it hurts.

Sonjicak · 46-50, F

@JupiterDreams: well it was a long time ago, I asked that question because I can see that a lot of girls and boys are in that kind of "relationship"

Nothing wrong with it as long as everyone involved knows what the boundaries are like any other relationship sexual or otherwise.

Sonjicak · 46-50, F

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow: do you think that the heart can know where the boundaries are?

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@Sonjicak: Depends on the individual. Some people enjoy sex as just that sex and enjoy sex with partners, friends, or even one night stands. Others feel a need for more and only make love to a partner. But in any of those situations people get hurt when there is no communication and that was my point.

One will catch feelings.. Bank on it

Sonjicak · 46-50, F

@theoneyouwerewarnedabout: yeah,I think the same.. Allways one side start to feel much more, and then is not good

Justlilme · 36-40, F

It works... for a while. Then it gets messed up.

Never been in that situation before but take it's toll on the friendship over time. Guess one would have to establish some boundaries and the expectations for both parties. At times as humans we feel the need to explore our freedoms but find we do indeed want the latter.

A temporary fix

@HotPizza: Ouch! Remind me never to get involved with you, Mr Hardasnails...

PTCdresser57 · 61-69, M

Have had FWB and it is a wonderful thing

SW-User

You will miss the one!

Selah ·

A goofy, erroneous term. I think guys found a way to scam sex without commitment or investment. Couldnt be me but some girls are into it.

Sonjicak · 46-50, F

@Selah: Do you think the girls are naive?

bijouxbroussard · F

@Sonjicak: It seems like more women expect more out of the relationship and end up getting hurt.

Sonjicak · 46-50, F

@bijouxbroussard: yes, because women mostly think with heart and mans with head one or another

Gamma87

Never been in that situation before but if probably take it's toll a friendship over time or lead to a wonderful life together. Guess one would established some boundaries before hand exploring the waters.

SW-User

I have one now, and it's been good. They want to be more than that, though. I'm unsure

@Sonjicak: I like him, but I'm in a weird situation right now, so I don't think it'd be good to do right now for anyone

Sonjicak · 46-50, F

@Nugget: In the end someone suffer for sure

SW-User

@Sonjicak: I'd like to be psychic, too, but no.

QuietExit · F

I think it only works for some like minded people

Chickie · F

I may still be a virgin but I believe that sex is more than just a physical thing and it's a something special for people who are in love woth each other. It's not my cup of tea never had been. Somebody is bound to catch feelings or feel used.

Groofydorkgerdo · 56-60, M

@Chickie: Don't you ever lose that mentality young miss.
Peoeple tend to rush into waybto fast way to often.

labsrock · M

Groofydorkgerdo · 56-60, M

I wish I had more friends with benefits

Someone is going to get hurt eventually

Sex has always meant more to me than that. I don't sleep with anyone who isn't my monogamous boyfriend at least.

Sonjicak · 46-50, F

@bijouxbroussard: like it 😉

Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 31-35, F

It temporarily works for some people.
