| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/9/2005 10:59:38 PM | | Someone usually gets attached..and it's not always the women...surprisingly the guys get attached too when the women don't...it's the sign of the times...altho I know guys who refuse to do it now b/ the women always get attached and just not worth the emotional clean up. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/9/2005 11:10:58 PM | | Can't say it's my thing either. I'd take a relationship over that anyday. Besides which I don't think that kind of thing ever turns out well in the end. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/9/2005 11:13:57 PM | | Most relationships end bad . At least when a FWB's ends bad it'd just plain over and ended . No marraige , no kids , way better . | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/9/2005 11:16:09 PM | well said BBG I wonder if they ever turn into real awesome relationships?? Anyone have experience with that??
Like, was supposed to be FWB, but turned into the real thing?? | |
|
| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/9/2005 11:21:16 PM | | I had a good one that was pretty awesome for a bit but I ended up wanting more . It sucked but I knew what I was getting into . Every other time it was them and not me , so when my time came around I had to just get over it . LOL | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/10/2005 3:33:52 AM | | Like most of you said, i would prefer a relationship to a FWB, BUT, when a relationship is not to be had a FWB is kind of nice to have....It's a catch 22 for sure.... | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/10/2005 3:42:35 AM | No girlfriend, no friend with benefit - bad No girlfriend, a friend with benefit - it's O.K. A girlfriend, no friend with benefit - good, very good A girlfriend, a friend with benefit - bad, very bad
Conclusion, I rather have a girlfriend but will settle for a friend with benefit.

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/10/2005 7:04:31 AM | | I like the idea but unfortunately on this subject I am one of those gals who's nether regions are attached to her heart so it's a no go Joe. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/10/2005 8:51:58 AM | I've tried this of late and it didn't work for me. The sex was phenomenal, and then the emotions got intense to go along with it, and we both got sort of freaked out at how intense it got so soon.
Maybe if things were less complicated it might've lasted, but it was easier to end it than to carry on with it.
I don't think I'll go down that road again, I don't know. It's a great THEORY, but I think it's really hard to make both people stay in the same headspace. Plus, I think I get a little too passionate about the whole sex thing and it's hard to keep the emotions at an arm's distance.
In the meantime, there's always vibrators, right? Let's hear it for Duracell!  | |

I have been in a FWB for a while, off and on. Every time one of us meet someone else with the interest to date, we hand over our tooth brush. No ill feeling, no brama. This we have done three or four times now. I was the last a few weeks ago. A few months back we had a farewell party. A little drinking, some food and a night to end all. As anyone ever had a better ending of a relation?

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/11/2005 1:16:48 PM | Reminds me of my last friend with benefits. She had a mutual friend call me up to say that she wanted to come to my place for supper. We had supper, chatted, found out about the new b/f and then went at it like rabbits in heat, had a couple drinks and went at it some more. She had to leave and when her relationship with this b/f ends if I am not in a relationship we will probably do it all over again.
We are both mature about the whole thing, and I will be having supper with her on Monday with her and her b/f which we have done before a few times. It is a beautiful thing when we can have a friendship that satisfies on more than one level when needed. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 11/11/2005 11:40:43 PM | @soul and rocky Yes, people who have friends with benefits do turn into an item sometimes.................... more times than not if theres no true connection it fades and doesnt last long in my experience i give it a 5 out of 10 fwb points 
**scratches her head** and wonders of she should be buying a man with my dental benefits plan...

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 1/11/2006 1:38:11 AM | | Totally good....there is nothing wrong with that....as long as their is an understanding from the beginning that there is nothing more to it than friendship and physical attraction why shouldn't there be something between the two of you. I have a friend that I would never want to have as a girlfriend but we have great sex together and we have an understanding. She is away now though so no good sex....:( hehe | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 1/11/2006 4:56:07 AM | | Wow what a simple way to distinbowel a friendship ,friends can be forever every thing else usally fades with out comitment how can sex be any thing other than superafoulas and insignificant and shallow, just reducing your self to a base function and after all don't we walk upright now. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 1/11/2006 8:42:38 AM | | I agree with kas. Can be a real pain in the ass when it happens. But still I do think they are a good thing if you are careful. | |
