it's better than picking up a complete stranger and perhaps getting an std.

^^^ friends have std's too, they just dont tell you


Sex is aways better with someone that you are familary with I find.

^^^ I always heard it was better with a stranger, more carefree!

my comments are purely based on what my friend's friends told me !

If a friend stopped being a friend and is just there for the benefit then it is very BAD. The thing in this FWB, a man keeps to himself but a woman believing there is friendship will be open and trustful. The friendship stops when the man get scared of being emotionally attach (as a friend that is) and starts putting a distance, being cold and selfish.

Rant this is because it happened to me and will not let it happen again.

Apparently you have categorized all men (and women) as being of the same moral character and other qualities implied above, based on your one experience. Is that is a logical conclusion?

Tyeee, this is my own perspective and like I said I will not let myself in this kind of situation again. I'm not trying to change the opinion of others but its just like saying be cautious. Every relationship be it friendship or larger than that involves emotion. One can be shallow and the other not. So just be cautious.

Friends with bennies heck yeah thats awesome, I mean we all have plenty of them! heck why else would we have them.
They help us move when its time and they cost less then movers.
When were bored and haven't got a thing to do we call on them to make us laugh and take us places and experience what its like to be in the real world and see things thru diff eyes even if they are half closed.

we all have friends with benefits, just the type of benefits need to be clear and in the open so no one gets misled or used for having a truck on the 31st.gas ain't cheap people. .

both good and bad as love making is a wonderful thing with friends however they can lead to compilations so best to do with x lovers who already know there not compatible
which will end with any the start of any possible relationship with another

This is a very old thread. I had to go back to messages #36 & # 40 to find some of my earlier postings.

My thoughts on this are still the same. FwB is not love but it does satisfy a need quite well...for a time. Eventually, one or the other wants more and this spells the end of the "contract". I never had the burden of a three or more FwB relationships so I am unable to speak of these situations.

FWB is good when you can afford it. No strings attached. Kick their ass to the curb when the dollars run out.

All of my friends come with some benefits, hardly any of them sexual.

Though I have found it is hard to convince others of this?

^^^agreed ^^^
not all benefits r necessarily sexual in nature........perhaps they share the same passion that they can't get from another friend eg. place they like to holiday @ ....
the sexual benefit gets complicated once there is emotional attachment involved without the commitment as it never works out and their friendship is now tossed into the wind. JEALOUSY will rear it's ugly head as i've sad in the other previous posts.
Have had many b4 but now am past all that silliness.

since we all know that this thread is talking about sexual FWB all other benefits are mute.

Here is EXACTLY where the trouble lies,..... FWB is SEX and only sex NOT LOVE making. Odds are that someone somewhere along the line is going to forget that and get hurt.

Kaitain...everyone needs atleast one good friend with a working truck. Hopefully they are also the other friend with some extra cash.

isn't that the sole purpose of a friendship???benefits without the expectations????

why try to convince??? it's like the forum every one is right...some rights are just more right and some are just totally wrong....in between a lot of

Maybe friend needs to be redefined for this to cover a more loose relationship????

For someone unattached a mutually enjoyable sexual relationship free of any expectations (though I think that is near impossible) should be a wonderful thing....but that may just be a theory
certainly beats a bad relationship and doing it alone, don't you think?

Friends with benefits. Excellent. I have many dear friends who we look after each other in times when we need some loving. Of course, it must be clear that it is not a relationship, just two friends helping each other in times of need. Sex is a wonderful and enjoyable thing. I think there is no need to make it more than what it is. A need and so much fun! Why miss out on a great night of sex just because you are hanging with a friend. As someone stated earlier, better a friend than a stranger, although some strangers can become friends with benefits. Heck, it's just sex! Enjoy it! (Safely!)

Sunshine, you are super girl to me, nice that you are such a realistic thinker, also seems that you are awful busy.......LOL

I have had female friends through life who only wanted to meet occssionally for sex because sex was so great. We knew ourselves as f**k buddies, and at the time neither of us wanted something serious. Have to say that it was less inhibited sex because a lot of other stuff wasn't part of it, but was still fufilling because we did care about each other. We just didn't have the responsibilty, or participation, in each others lives as a relationship demands.
Didn't see anything wrong with it then, and don't see anything wrong with it now, as long as both people agree that's what it is.
It was much more attractive than floating from one person to another to enjoy sex until the urge, or time, to have a serious relationship came around.
It was good also because we didn't have to put ourselves at risk to catch scary diseases.
Didn't realize till now that this interpreted as "Friends With Benefits." I've seen ads like that and always thought that women who wanted "Benefits," expected money or some sort of monetary gain for sex...........LOL

Seems like the issue of this thread is still appropiate again as FWB is as enjoyed by the masses who come realize that it has its uses good or bad even today,do you think that if 2 people agree its ok and theres nothing wrong with that .

As long as she's a bombshell that'll tidy up the place abit before she goes, I'm ok with that......
Maybe even remake my bed, pre make a few lunches for me would be alright too I suppose......
Not sure if i'd trust her to wash my vehicle or not......

I was pretty sure I answered this post a while ago with my old profile, but I guess I was wrong. Too bad cuz I really wanted to see what I said. I used to be ok with FWB's. I used to be really really good at having them. Now not so much.

Problem being, I fell for my FWB. I realized after 5 months of sleeping with him, that he was exactly what I wanted in a mate. And he had made me feel things I never thought I would.

I was always the one in control, now not so much.

So yes in a way I think FWB's are great, but somedays I think thay are bad bad bad.

its all about perception, and end result.
