It's a very difficult thing to do as feelings usually follow. I have had one guy where it actually worked and that was in college. I had a boyfriend and he had a girlfriend and neither knew we were doing it. We were just friends and it was just sex as we cared about our boyfriend and girlfriend. It lasted three years and he ended up marrying his girlfriend and I ended the relationship with my boyfriend. It worked great for us but it doesn't for everyone.
My recent friend with benefits was really amazing, he kinda just got it and went with the flow. We kinda just clicked. Then he wanted more of a relationship. I was okay with it at first. He took me out on dates was a gentleman. Wanted to post eachother on social media etc. later on down the line I find out that this friends with benefits who wanted a relationship had a wife and a child with cancer at home…(fyi- I've never been more disgusted before) so yea friends with benefits it’s difficult because it’s hard to trust and see the full picture especially when feelings are involved.
At some point, someone will begin to catch feelings for the other, become possessive, controlling, most likely the dude, and end up fucking, so to speak, up a good thing. Once all that clingy shit starts the other will become resentful and before you know it, you realize the two of you have been boyfriend, girlfriend all along. Thats when the cops bust you for joyriding. Or worse, someone forgets to take the pill and gets pregnant. 18 years is along time for just joyriding.
Oh, and for the moderators, I am anti-red pill, I am not a PUA or an INCEL. I am not hating on men or women or making stereotypical assumptions. I am just pointing out how life ends up for some.
I think as long as there's clear communication throughout the 'relationship', and that both parties needs and boundaries are respected, then I think it can work!
I had one, and it was what I needed at the time. We both loved cuddling and going on dates, but I couldnt see myself being with that person in the long run, and they felt the same. That relationship kept me sane, and helped create balance in my life.
I had this type of situation once. She was much younger, it lasted about 8 months and then she met a guy she wanted to date. I made it clear to her from the beginning, if either of us met someone we would have to make the other person aware. We left on amicable terms. I have to admit for 22 she was a mature person about the whole thing. We met at a wedding and clicked. No one knew about us, we just wanted that side to ourselves.
Yes I had a close friend who knew I was in a long-distance relationship and because a friend with benefits. While sleeping together her and I looked for a boyfriend for her. Eventually, we found her a good guy who she married. We still text and talk on the phone sometimes, she is my dearest friend, but we don't talk about our past and of course we don't sleep together anymore.
I've only ever been involved in one arrangement of that nature and really it wasn't even to satisfy any desires it was just because I was pissed off because of a breakup and needed to blow off some steam with no strings, I didn't even bring it up she came to me.
Other then that one arrangement I have no interest in being in that kind of relationship/arrangement it does absolutely nothing for me.
My brother has been in a few I have known worked out well with them just being friends now the issue with it is when people get into them wanting more or hoping for more
It'll be difficult, it's common one if the two starts to develop romantic feelings. You're very vulnerable with eachother, so that makes sense. If you can keep a healthy distance between the two of you, it should in theory be possible.
no, cause that kind of relationship isn't healthy and i based on lies cause someone always feels something and if by some miracle they dont, sex is better with emotions anyways so its a total waste of time
If I understand to rules and regs for a successful FB relationship. You are not even supposed to acknowledge one another outside the bedroom. So if I understand the question. I would have to say no.
Shouldn't be any harder than any other way to get a successful relationship started and how it started really has little affect on how it is going to progress, grow and survive.
Would love it to be possible, but it either ends up with one of the two getting more involved than the other, and this breeds resentment. Done it, it was fine for a while, but it ended up with the two if us completely drifting apart.
Possibly best to have an unspoken chemistry that thrives on flirting.

I’ve had a few. They’re not hard to achieve if you both have set clear boundaries and communicate with each other.

I wish. Never seen it but gotta to be possible in someway. Most humans be emotional though and those emotions get mixed in.
What about close friendships and fucking? 🤔
Close friends is already very close to dating. One will get ideas why can't it be more or it might as well be so.
Because dating isn't next level, it's just a different role :/

Yeah it's all about clear set rules and boundaries and communication.
Very rarely but it could work if both parties eventually work towards it with open and honest communication
Yes! I’ve had a friend who was able to do this successfully, I personally wouldn’t be able to do it.
Yes, many of them.
Very positive response. I like it.
People say it is not common, but it is far more common than a lot of people think.
People always say it never works, and that is also not true at all.
I'm learning sm from you.
Really?

When you define short intimate fun as success, then Fu.. buddy relationship can be successful.
