How do you feel about friends with benefits with no strings attached? If you're in a Relationship?

What's in a label?

If you are in a relationship, it's not friends with benefits, it's an Open Relationship.

Not for everyone, but if both members of the couple are okay with it, I'm in no position to criticize.

Now, if one member is unaware of the other's friends with benefits, that's called Cheating.

As I said, what's in a label?

Not for me, but as long as its all consensual instead of a cheating situation you do you type deal.

Okay, if everybody knows and respects the boundaries. If I'm in a relationship? No. Not happening.

if already in a relationship that isn't poly/open? so cheating? whoever does so is shitty.

It’s only cheating if it’s behind partner’s back. If they know about it and are happy with it, it’s called swinging.

[HelpfulWoman]

@TheNumbersSevenTwo swinging is in the "poly/open" label.

[TheNumbersSevenTwo]

Your comment made it sound like you thought swinging was shitty because it was cheating. Apologies if I misunderstood.

[HelpfulWoman]

@TheNumbersSevenTwo noooo! it was phrased to mean "if not in a poly/open/swinging relationship then its shitty" :)

It's not for everyone. But if one can understand the dynamics of it, I don't see any problem with that if they'd like to try it.

Have you ever tried it? 😊

I don't mind if it's between consenting adults.

I think a person that does that is a poor excuse for a human being.
