Does friends with benefits work?

[KaylaJoy]

Me and a guy friend are doing the friends with benefits thing because both of us are getting over our exes and working on our mental health and aren’t in a place to be fully emotionally invested in another person: so does the friends with benefits thing work from your experience or opinions?

[SteveSmith1985]

It can work as long as nobody develops romantic feelings. If you can keep those out of it on both sides. Yes it can work. That being said, romantic feeling (usually on the woman's side, frankly) wind up making it a bad idea most of the time. Some people can't separate sex from romantic feelings. If you can, then yes.

It does to a certain extent , it’s nice having someone on the same page as you that doesn’t want to jump into a commitment as long as you both agree to stay on the same page , but usually what ends up happening 1 of ya will begin to get deeper feelings for the other and that’s where it can get complicated , They tend to get jealous if the other is going out with others as well which can lead to resentments and then the friendship ends completely , so it’s a 50/50 chance of things work out

Nope, and especially not if you're both not in a good place mentally. friends with benefits mess with people's emotions. Not a good thing for someone having a tough time already.

[KatherineJ]

In my opinion no. I haven’t done it because when I was single it just felt like it would mess with my emotions way too much.

[ohshee]

Depends on what you're looking for. It is a very good way to find deeper and better I think with you it was work because of who you are and what you all about and I think you're pretty smart girl I think you will figure that one out

[Sevenpointfive]

when it tries to become more then it's not. i think the point of the "friends with benefits" stigma is because you don't want more than the scratch for the itch

[kykyblaze]

My ex was once in this zone, now she's married to that friend.

Just know that a point in time, one of you will build up emotions.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Sometimes. If the persons good in bed and is really a friend.

[FilmGuy93]

I've never once seen it work, but I'm sure there are people out there who can make it work just fine.

[RHK36]

Short term yes, long term no. Someone usually catches feelings and/or will get messy.

This was invented by a guy that wanted free sex with no commitment, sort of like going to prostitutes but not paying.

[Shy_Steve]

It might if you are both in a similar situation, But you could just try dating eachother for a while and see how it goes.

[nawtee_me]

if it is only about sex then yes it can work, but if it becomes anything else then you are barking up the wrong tree.

Friends with benefits is usually temporary. If it goes on longer then it’s more.

[LegendaryIcon]

friends with benefits is for pathetic losers, with no lives

[888theGreat]

nope, with less success than the regular relationships that fail.

[AgapeHanma93]

Yes it’s awesome and when she gets pregnant you can move on to the next

[Slayerrrrrrr]

we can always give it a go 😉

[Shawn411]

Only if you cum if not it's on you baby 👶...
