I'm thinking of looking for a "practice boyfriend." Is this a bad idea?

[Anonymous]

Ok I know how crazy it sounds. I know it would also make me look very stupid to some people as well. I have social anxiety and act really awkward around guys. I want to become desensitized to them. In addition I'd like to have some experience just to say I have it so this idea will kill two birds with one stone.

So basically what I would require from the guy who agrees to this is:

-He helps me practice kissing

-He touches me a bit so I can be comfortable with guys and also gains some experience

-He messes around with me a bit without going all the way. Possibly I might change my mind and let him go all the way anyway. I want the experience and to be desensitized to guys.

-He's clean.

I don't care if he sees other girls on the side. This is all just practice for me. I understand how insane this sounds but I'm getting pretty desperate and tired of feeling the way I do around guys.

Do you think any guys would agree to this? Do you think its a bad idea? Why? Let me hear your thoughts. Keep in mind you are dealing with someone who is not very normal. I have issues. :p

At least yu're honest. A lot of gilrs in the datng game, they are in exactly this frame of mind. They let the guy mess around with them in exchange for the free meals and entertainment, and think they are just practicing for real life.

At least the guy will KNOW from the get-go what is happening So many guys think the girl really cares, when she is just 'practicing.'

Butlife has no rewind switch. This IS real life. Don't abuse it in this way. People will judge you by yur actionsand you will find you will ALSWAYS be practicing

What a rare and fascinating question. Reminds me of Triplet Tia who used to ask similar honest questions.

If he agrees to it and you tell him upfront, I don't see why not. Heck, I am sure lot of guys would go for it, especially around your age. You both could be "practice boyfriend", "practice girlfriend".

Then, like anon said below, it would be a FWB arrangement.

im sure a lot of guys would be up for it.

but make sure that you tell them from the beggining what you have in mind.

you wouldn't want to hurt him later when you cut him loose.

Unfortunately, this is normal. Like anony girl said, it sounds like a f*** buddy or friends with benefits kind of thing. If you tell him ahead of time and are able to not develop feelings, it may not be a bad thing for you.
