  • I have a friend with benefits, and it actually "just turned out that way". Wasn't anything planned but developed naturally.
    Now, I've always been against it in general because someone will get hurt. In this particular one, I'm the one bound to get hurt.

    Our friendship is magnificent without the benefits. It's a bonus and an add on that allows both of us to try out things, not being scared of failing. I think if were in similar places in life, we would have been together, but we're not.

    The risks I see with this, is that it prevents me from meeting people I would actually date and have a relationship with. Sp when we're ready, we're backing off to allow that to happen. I'm just not there yet.

    • Thank you for the MHO 😊

  • Not my cup of tea but it's basically impossible because emotions and feelings come into play... ALWAYS. Someone is bound to get hurt.

  • I never understood how it works. Like do you just ask a female friend, "Hey, wanna have sex, no strings attached?" Cause I missed the memo, at least in my youth, where that was a possible option to explore.

    I always thought you gotta ask the girl on a date and go through the whole ritual and seduce her and all that. I didn't know you could just skip dinner and go straight to sex with a friend. I've had sort of casual relationships which didn't get that serious and felt like friends with sex thrown in, but it started from a formal dating process at least.

    • I'm not sure but my "friend" asked if I ever thought of having a non serious relationship.. which I assume is the same as friends with benefits

    • I see. I don't know how it works these days. I wasn't so explicit and verbal upfront. Ask girl out on a date, maybe make some moves, if things heat up and we make it to the bedroom, then see what happens after. And it didn't always become serious, sometimes it stayed at "fling" level, and I guess that was sort of like friends with benefits. But there was no formality to it, just that things didn't reach such a serious level between us.

    • I'm surprised by how verbally explicit things have become these days. Like I see people showing text messages on phones with the guy saying like, "Hey, wanna hook-up at my place? I got rubbers. I wanna tap dat ass. 9PM." And I'm like, "Wow, you can say that?" I thought you gotta at least offer to make dinner for the girl at your place, and then maybe things will heat up. I didn't know you could skip all that.

  • I feel like it is a little on the trashy side but only because it is asking for sex with out having a commitment. I did it with a girl and we had to completely stop talking because of it. We are good friends again now surprisingly but it really ruined what we had at the time. But I mean I would be willing to think about it again with the right girl wanting l at it with me...

  • As long as no one is getting hurt emotionally and no one is being deceived, I don't see a problem.

  • I think it can be good if it works for you. I have a friends with benefits and we have been friends since I was about 16 and it has worked good for us 😊

  • Not my cup of chai.

  • I like it if a relationship isn't an option and i really like her.
    Its been on my mind lately as i am bonding quickly and really starting to love an international friend of mine. In case we end up falling for each other but can't figure out a way to make it work as a long term relationship we might as well enjoy the benefits of being in a relationship virtually while we slowly date people in real life. Would be incredible to have this thing last in a hybrid relationship / hybrid friendship sort of way where your together if you don't have anyone local and just friends when you do. As amazing as it sounds it does take two people who can approach it from a non hurtful non jelous mindset.

  • Had a few... actually better

  • Seems to be pretty common nowadays. I'm really not a fan, I think it promotes everything that's wrong with dating nowadays.

  • In my experience if your great friends with someone and you don't want a relationship you could be friends with benefits. It's not trashy, it's mutual understating that the will be nothing feeling wise between you

  • I don't judge one who does it but not something for me
    i want long-term relationship that will result in marriage, kids
    i don't believe in having sex to after marriage.

  • I didn't have friends with benefits
    Hard to say how it feels thus.

  • I dont like it

  • Some guys would see it that way, but not all. I think it's more common than people realize

  • I have a friends with benefits but she is also my best friend which is really the only reason why I am doing it. I still need some serious friendship. Just a fuck-buddy would never work for me.

  • it wouldn't be my thing personally but to each there own seems like it would get complicated tho

    • I always kind of thought it was a little trashy for lack of a better term but I don't know

    • i wouldn't call it trashy if people choice to do it who am i to judge

    • Be honest.. we all judge to some extent lol.

  • Hey if your okay with who is anyone else to judge

  • Guys do see it as trashy sorry to say it but friends with benefits sounds weird and I'm not even from the United States of America.

  • Nothing trashy about it at all. I love having fwbs.

  • I had a friend with benefits once but after a while it just starts getting boring

  • it's a safe way to satisfy your needs

  • It’s a nice type of relationship, very mutualistic and fun but can end up very badly cause some people can’t hold themselves back and start loving the other person and that fcks up the whole thing. Other than that it’s great.

  • I like it. We both make it work for us
