| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 4/10/2007 7:18:33 PM | | The benefits of real good friendship can be many things. You got that right girl. How long does it take to ruin a frienship. Frienship can be forever,the other,hahahahahaha. The Benefits of Frienship outweigh the benefits of certain benefits. Questions require the right answers though. It should and can do that. Trust is a biggy,pleasure can lead to marriage. You Gals can really ROCK. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 4/11/2007 10:42:06 PM | HUH!?!?!?!?!?!? And again...just reading ^^^^that makes my brain hurt!
What makes you think pleasure leads to marriage???? Again...HUH!?!?!?
OT> There's nothing wrong with a FWB relationship, it can be great as long as both understand what the relationship actually is.
I dunno, now you're VVV making me say HUH again...wonder if you and he can find something beneficial to benefit from!? | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 4/11/2007 10:44:53 PM | | The benefits of friendship far out weigh the benefits of certain benefits... but when particular benefits are better than other certain benefits who benefits from that more? the benefactor or beneficiary? benefiting from specific benefits could benefit better or worse but benefiting from the CERTAIN benefits will be beneficial. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 4/11/2007 11:38:38 PM | | Preceding post summed it up pretty well. Convienence be the convience of conviency. We all are convieved,learn to concieve and can get concieved. It could lead to that if you both wished it to. Nothing wrong withF-W-B as long as the frienship is more important than the benefits. You and me have friends with benefits,if they're good enough,they become long-term partners. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 4/12/2007 9:33:07 AM | | FWB can be great...but only if both people invest in the friends part as much as in the benefits. when it's only sex, it's a booty call...and that feels empty after awhile. to quote myself from another thread "if you do FWB right, you have all the good stuff...the flirting, the playfulness, the great sex, the mutual respect, being able to open up and share your thoughts without fear of judgement...but you set aside the jealousies, the pressure, and the obligations of something more structured and serious." | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 4/12/2007 1:26:35 PM | | You got it girl. Just a better Friend with nice Benefits. Maybe so nice you wind-up hooking-up long-term. Respect is a Friends thing,F-W-B just should lead to it. Structured and serious mean long-term planning. It is always good,if it's bad,that's why separations and divorces occur. What are married but hopefully Best Friends with Great benefits. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 4/12/2007 2:08:40 PM | How about we get rid of the FW part and just have the benifits part!! yay!! you can come give me the benefits then get outta my hair :)  | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 4/12/2007 4:45:57 PM | | No no no! *sighs* bad idea in general. As much as most tell themselves they can handle it, when things go BOOM, they can't, and then a good friendship is gone. | |
|
| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 4/12/2007 6:57:09 PM | | You got that right. Statements like that re-enforce the school of thought that certain folks belong on a paid site. If the benefits are good,the Frienship can get better. If the combinations goes boom,you re-cast your lines and hope for a better catch next time around. Good Frienships don't just go away. The stand the test of time and developement. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 8/22/2007 5:21:56 AM | from my experience, all the guys i have been FWB with have ended up liking me and it got messy... that's why i have more than one friend, so they don't get attached to me as easily cuz they aren't seeing me that often..lol
am i slutty.. probably... | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 8/22/2007 10:08:02 AM | i used to think this could work, but for most people it's a good in theory, bad in practice scenario. i've had a few FWB over the years, i'd only define one of those situations as fully healthy with no further expectations on either side...in fact i still consider him a close platonic friend as a result. at this stage i think i'm less inclined to pursue a FWB arrangement, maybe age is catching up to me at last...seems the relationships i desire lately are those with a more serious/committed tone.
reading my own posts in this thread from only 4 months ago...it's funny how much our opinions and needs can change in such a short time. the only constant is change i suppose ; ) | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 8/22/2007 10:40:19 AM | Nope don't do it. The kind of love I make has much deeper feelings than " friends " built into it. If I wanna have sex with a friend, I'll masterbate.  | |
|
| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 8/22/2007 10:53:02 AM | I need a better "benefits" program. Dayum I need "A" benefits program. I am actually even willing to invest some more financially in one too! Oh wait that didn't sound right did it? All in the name of exercise and better health right??? I prefer a long term program with extended benefits since the short term ones never last. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 8/22/2007 11:07:55 AM | Oh greeneyed.....how pathetic of you.... sex has always some emotional strings attached. But sure, friends with benefits is ok....if both agree on it and nobody is exploiting the other's weakness. | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 8/22/2007 7:50:21 PM | it's easier said than done.....if it can be done, then it has it's advantages for sure...so that's good, but I think it is harder for women not to naturally get emotionally attached...then it's bad ....like all things--open and honest communication is the key | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 8/22/2007 8:17:46 PM | | ^^^^^^^^^ Now how self-centered is that! Personally I'd do ANYTHING just to help out a friend. Isn't that what friendship's all about? | |

| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 2/29/2008 10:45:26 PM | | It can be good or bad depending if you have values or not. Friends with benefits is just a different way of describing a person as a toy. | |
|
| Friends with Benefits..good or bad Posted: 3/1/2008 11:54:34 PM | | As long as the feelings are mutual and the sex is great, why not. it's better than picking up a complete stranger and perhaps getting an std. Sex is aways better with someone that you are familary with I find. | |
