friends with benefits

I'm interested in peoples' opinions about friends with benefits. Do you guys think its possible to do? I'm not really interested in a relationship, just having fun.

 

Certainly not very probable before dinner time in most countries that have electric toothbrushes.

 

I think it is possible but can cause complications... I have a female friend who has a guy in her life who is ''FWB'' but she admits to me she becoming 'too fond' of him

 

FWB can work, but usually emotions end up causing problems. Just be up front with the 'rules' and stick to them, and be ready to walk away when it's over.

 

I have to agree with both DMFP and His Eden, it can get complicated and usually someone gets attached.

 

I think for it to not get complicated, don't become close friends.

there are rules all over the internet about FWB.. heres one of them

 

My friend has a FWB. She grew attached to him after the first encounter lol

 

I've always wanted to know how long FWBs can last? I hear 1-6 months a lot (more often on the lower end) but I'm wondering if it can ever go for longer? Personally I'd find trekking to another persons house soley for sex a bit of a turnoff and a bit boring after a while. I mean when you're seeing someone or have a girlfriend/boyfriend yes sex is a part of why you see each other but theirs so much more to it than that. With a FWB I'm assuming you go over there, have sex and likely just leave. I mean if you stayed around for a bit and did other things together wouldn't it begin to blur the line between FWB and seeing eachother?

 

I think that if it's more than one or two times, someone is always bound to form some sort of connection past just fucking. Sex is a beautiful act "FWB" or not.

 

Had one. She got clingy. I got jealous. It ended. As it usually will.

 

I've only had the FWB experience once. She was a co-worker and it lasted for about a year. She was great fun and extremely enthusiastic about anything sex related.

We would go to my place after the store closed, shower and fuck. She usually came over on nights we weren't on the schedule together, too.

Toward the end she became attached emotionally. She was a great person and I really enjoyed her company but I was just not interested in a full on relationship at that point and avoided the hints and suggestions she gave. Then one day she just didn't show up. She married a cop three weeks later. Haven't seen or heard from her since.

 

This is funny, but true.
I met my wife, when she and a guy I've known for 40+ years were FWB's!!
They invited me to join them for an evening of hot tubbing, and to fulfill a ladies secret desires..
She was his book keeper, and had been in a long term lesbian relationship that had gone sour about a year or 2 before they started thier FWB relationship.
I'd been divorced for about 4 years at that point in my life. A traveler for work.
He and I had shared girlfirends in the past, in foursome encounters.
So, I was single and not looking for a relationship, she was single and not looking either, and we just really enjoyed each others company, then after about 6 months of the 3 of us enjoying fantastic sex, she and I realized we really cared for each other.
Then we began building a good life together. I still love to see her being filled by my buddy, or when she is with a lady, as she has a sever breast fetish, and wow it's hot to see.
FWB's can be a great thing.

 

Sounds like your typical monogamy.

 

It's certainly possible, just wish i could find one lol, not having much luck with the ladies lately. :-(

 

Me and My husband have several friends lke this. We always do it together, and they know they are here for recreational sex. The only thing is, explain it, and never get more than sexually involved.

 

in my experience, no it is not possible. my friends have no interest in benefits..

 

Eh. My current girlfriend and I began as FWB. Lasted a few months, then one night we decided to go to a bar and then see a movie (while we rarely ever hung out outside of her apartment before) and, well... here we are, dating.

I have to say it probably will either turn into a relationship, a disaster, or just end quickly, but it will definitely permanently change your "friendship" no matter what-- for better or for worse.

I would stay miles away from trying to be FWB from any friends I have a good friendship with... no going back.

 

I sure wish I had one of those things

 

I think a good sign that things are getting emotional after a FWB relationship and when the feelings start to change, is like right after the sex is done, like cuddling after the deed is done is kinda where I've seen these relationships start to go downhill.

aka: when you can't just screw and walk away.

Do all of you agree or do you have a different view of when it starts to become something else?
