I like the idea of having a boyfriend, but there's so much physical and emotional commitment involved. Even if it breaks the 'rules' (why should fuck buddies have rules?) I like fuck buddies because:
There's No Commitment
It seems that sometimes with friends with benefits, since you were friends first, people assume it's exclusive. Of course it isn't supposed to be unless you decided it was before, but some people think like this. Fuck buddies are straight up; things are clear since you were strangers before usually.
You Can Have Fun Without Others
No meeting friends/family. You don't have to hang out with anyone else since you weren't friends first. You can just hang out solo with each other and do whatever you want. You could do that anyway, but....it'd be more awkward.
No Sexual Commitment
Sure, you can fuck others. But this point is about how you don't have to have maintenance sex or have to totally care about what your partner wants. Everything is optional with no pressure or stress.
You Can Still Be 'Romantic'
You can be really nice, and do fun things...go out...and just be casual w/o sex. This isn't how it's supposed to be, but why not?
So these are my top 4 reasons...I know these are short, but I think I summed everything up pretty well. I <3 options. And I feel like I can have more benefits with fuck buddies, including closeness.
I wanted to add, stds can take weeks and weeks to show up, so relationships and tests don't solve everything!
