How do I explain to my Friend-with-Benefits that I'm NOT ATTACHED EMOTIONALLY to him EITHER?

We don't kiss. (causes too much romantic/emotional attachment)
We fuck hard. (I literally wake up wishing his dick was in me)
We have anal sex.
We get Mexican takeout as well as Chinese takeout!
Yes...
Yes...
He's so much like me (personality wise) that I don't have really strong romantic feelings for him. Yet this makes me feel empathy like I would for a friend. He feels the same way about me. We're just not attached (BUT very sexually attracted!) and neither feel like it's a waste of time because we still have similar style, kinks and interests. We're like best friends who fuck but don't want to kiss and do "girly romantic shit" LOL!

How do I explain this to him? Basically we found something that works, and I want him to know that I don't want a "romantic relationship with him" and he doesn't have to worry about us falling in love with each other. He doesn't want a romantic relationship either. :) Sad too most--but great for us!!
Tell him NOT KISSING really helps me from keeping feelings at bay
Vote A
Tell him I never get jealous when he fucks other girls
Vote B
Tell him straight up that the arrangement works because "I don't like you like that" yet we fuck. I know it's hard to believe though.

  • Well not kissing seems like a big enough clue to me, especially considering that some friend with benefits do kiss, I don't think that you should go as far as tell him that you are okay with him fucking other girls. Also a lot of guys don't care much about romantic/emotional stuff anyway. :)

    • Should I still act kinda jealous or is that pointless?

    • What you mean by act? pretend to be jealous or you really feel jealous about him?

    • Pretend to be!

  • yep... love and lust are opposites. keep love out of it, helps keep lust going a while I guess, not sure how long.
    you have your plans, nature has it's:) The purpose of this stuff isn't really for selfish interests.

    • OVER A YEAR... but trust me we were attached at SOME point... but it never really became "love" so it's just "lust" now!

    • my experience with this, monitoring this site over years... the guys get love bit!:) When you tell him you have another friends with benefits is when you find out. I am surprised.. I thought it was the girls who would usually fall. This part I don't get... when the bond occurs. At least you are having great sex, that's more than a lot of us. Lust is powerful..1 year... wow... surprised goes that long. I don't understand how you can de-tach emotionally...

    • what do u mean "love bit"? Neither of us fell for each other. In the beginning we went too fast and he kissed me too much and kinda didn't explain anything, but we took a little break and that helped a lot!

  • Hmmmmm "Screw him..."xx

  • If you already know that "He doesn't want a romantic relationship either" then why do you need to explain anything?

  • it's tricky because the quickest way to get a guy romantically attached is good sex. It sounds like you have great sex.

    Just tell him that it's a purely physical thing with him and you're not ready for anything serious. Kissing is "serious" to you.

  • you just need to tell him straight out what you think including all three points you gave as options. sooner you confront any attatchment issues sooner you can get back to good hard no strings fucking

  • Have him read this. It says everything. I think he would know afterwords. But I think it is better if you just tell him. But if you can't, you still have him read this. Either way will work

  • Unless your both sociopaths your just a blue super gaint

  • Just show him your second paragraph.

  • To convey tell him option B. You both will feel relieved knowing that.

    • But like how do I even say it?

    • The best moment will be when both are engaged, saying different things to please, just say it. Later ask him him if he listened to that and that you really mean it without any doubt. But make sure you really mean it.

  • why do u need to tell him surly he knows its friends with benefits and feels same way

    • had to laugh at this line We get Mexican takeout as well as Chinese takeout! is this like some code that you do threesomes with Mexicans and Chinese lol

    • Actually it's not! We get actual food!!

    • oh little boring but guess u need to keep energy up :D hehe x

  • Why do you need to say anything at all? Sounds like you're both already on the same page.
