FWB-are we too intimate?

I am in a friends with benefits situation. When we are having sex he is very passionate and looks into my eyes and holds my face when we kiss. Yet when I bring up relationships he freaks out. I guess his body language is confusing me. I have had sex where its wham bam thank you ma'am but this is different. We have really good conversations too so my question is, are we too intimate for a friends with benefits relationship?

  • FWB means: having a sexual relationship but not getting emotionally attached or expecting the relationship to develop beyond FWB. The whole point of FWB is that you agree that neither of you wants a relationship (with each other, or at all).

    Beyond that, what happens in a FWB is up to you, and should be something that you discuss up-front, so that you both know what your expectations are. For some, FWB is JUST sex, meaning you call the other person, and if they're available, you go over, bang, and go home, until you want sex again next time. For others, it's "everything but the commitment", meaning they might kiss, cuddle afterward, stay the night, go out to breakfast (or have sex again in the morning), or whatever. Most people are somewhere in between.

    The important thing is that NONE of that means that the person wants a relationship. It isn't a mixed message either, because (at least for guys), they can have sex, including intimate, romantic sex, and that is still completely separate from wanting a relationship.

    Bottom line is: don't get into a FWB if you want a relationship, and never, EVER expect or assume that a FWB is going to become more than FWB, because it almost never does.



  • Ok some of my thoughts

    1 he could be afraid of the commitment of going to the next level,

    2 he could be afraid of ruining relationship he has with you,

    3 he could be afraid that as soon as it moves forward the great sex or all sex will stop,

    4 he loves having sex with you but wants it to be different than “SEX”

    Now I’m sorry but as horny as I always am twice I have picked up my close and walked out on that sort of sex! (“Just sex”) as well I have just lost all desire before in that in that kind (of SEX) gotten soft in the middle of it or didn’t even want to continue. Brings to mind (some words I once said to the EX) “”It’s like K***KING a knot Hole in A the Fence”” or “” I can get that from a two bit whore”” or maybe why she’s an EX! But I don’t want SEX I want to MAKE LOVE to a woman or should I say I do make love to them! Each and every time even if you would call it a whama bama thank ya mama! She will feel there’s passion and I want or expect some of that back! If you “drop and flop” drop your panties and flop out on the bed and expect me to climb up and play, then Sorry! I will put my toy’s away and go home!

    So FWB’s, ONS’s, Boyfriend or wife he may love the passion and art of making love not having sex!

  • He freaks out when you bring up relationship talk. That's the answer.

    But since you two have great convo too, who knows.

    My boyfriend and I are started as fwb.. We only saw each other that time, we weren't dating anybody else but we just weren't in love or ready to call it a relationship.

    I was like you.. Confused all the time and I complained to him all the time lol

    But we both were confused. And he actually told me he was afraid to ask me to be his girlfriend..

    In your case since your guy freaked out maybe he doesn't like you in that way yet. If you like him why don't you talk about it.. And see how it goes.

  • I wouldn't read too much into the way he has sex. Some guys prefer a more passionate experience. Same with the conversations- you're friends, right? Friends generally tend to have good conversations. It sounds like you want it to be more than FWB, though, if you're bringing up relationships, and if that's the case, you should tell him before you get hurt.

  • i think you are mistaking the sexual intimacy for relationship/friendship intimacy. some people in casual sex are not romantic, like you said wham bam thank you mam...but some are more romantic, intimate, sensual etc. It seems to me that he is telling you what his feelings are by his response to the subject of a relationship. So I don't think you are too initimate, however if for you being as intimate as you are is confusing the situation perhaps you are "too initimate"

  • A FWB situation is just that. Friends who love to have sex with each other and just be friends, nothing more. It sounds like you want the FWB thing to go to the next level. If so, you need to tell him. If not, and you want a relationship, perhaps you should move on. I hope it is not a wham bam slam situation with you not receiving any pleasure or orgasms... Remember it is a two way street and he needs to pleasure you also.

  • You are confusing sexual intimacy with that of a relationship. He is getting the same thing out of this relationship that you are, and he probably wants to keep it that way. If you don't, you should let him know.

  • He likes his sex very passionate...I see why you're confused. Most guys only f*ck their girlfriends and wives that passionately.

  • Maybe you should ask him for a wham bammer, if he wants to proceed further, he will let you know.

  • sounds a little bit too intimate to me

  • no you arent

  • well I wouldn't over think it.

  • i don't think you are
