Friends With Benefits what's your view?

[TeeSquare]

Do you agree or disagree about having Friends With Benifits

[British_Empire_1707]

Depends. I used to friends with benefits with this girl, she was so sweet, kinda plump and I really liked her but she had no prospects, no ambition and ultimately going nowhere In life and though the sex was great I couldn't commit to anything serious with her other than great sex, she knew this but must have pretended that one day we'd get serious have kids and get married. friends with benefits in my opinion tends to work out well for men but generally women get hurt. I know its 2020 and women are sexually empowered but most women still desire a relationship over casual sex. Even women who cheat usually have a 2nd relationship going behind their man's back rather than casual one night stands.

There is absolutely NOTHING in it for the girl. And you can't get naked with someone over and over without developing feelings - that's how our brains are wired, biologically, for the best outcome for the eventual offspring.
It's really a bad idea for a lot of reasons. But some people are just not in a place for a traditional or conventional committed relationship.

I know, I had a college co-ed for a couple of years. It was fun, I was married, all she wanted was a handsome guy for sex. A few tears shed all around when it ended. And yes, I eventual shit-canned the wife, got a new one, much younger and prettier. ;)

Thanks for your opinion. I could debate several points you make but that's not the purpose of the question so I'll agree to disagree with them. The relationship you said you had wasn't a friends with benefits though. It was a mistress you cheated on your wife with. That's a whole different topic.

[Browneye57]

Call it what you wish. Was still a friends with benefits arrangement - there was no commitment on either party, it was what we once called a 'booty-call'. One or the other called, you show up for sex. Bottom line, and answer to your Q, my view is that it cheats both parties out of relationship satisfaction.

[Browneye57]

And it will never be what you hoped or thought it would or should be. Kind of like group sex, polygamy, open relationships. None of them are what what they seem all cracked up to be.

I mean.. I'm in one now, lol
I think it's great as long as the people involved have a mutual understanding.
It's not for everyone though.

[NamerOfStars]

It's not for me- there may be people out there who can have sex without romantic feelings developing; I'm not one of them. I don't consider it inherently immoral or anything like that, though; if it works for you, that's fine with me.

[RemoErdosain]

Sounds like a pretty stupid idea to me, and I don't know of anyone who has had a friends with benefits situation that I don't consider a player or a whore

[TeeSquare]

So having sex with a friend without the drama of a full relationship makes someone a whore? I had a friends with benefits , who eventually wanted to date a guy, so the benefits stopped. That was 6 years ago. To this day we are still really good friends. Just no sex involved and no desire to now that's she's married to that guy.

[RemoErdosain]

That's not what I said.

[RemoErdosain]

What I said is I don't know anyone who was in such a relationship, and wasn't a player or a whore in their behavior in general. Every single one of the people that I have known that at some point had a friends with benefits kind of relationship were also into the hook-up culture, cheating, and all of that

[TeeSquare]

Oh ok. Sorry misunderstood.

[RemoErdosain]

No worries :)

[TheUniqueOne96]

Indifferent.

Never had it, but if it works for others, cool.

[someginger]

Am not bothered if people have them do what you want, but they all end. Either it moves into a relationship or another party moves onto someone else.

Like there are no friends with benifits that last until there 80

[ItsTheNephilim]

Indifferent, neutral.

[Bhavin2184]

Personally don't like the idea..

[scott04sa22]

Friends with benefits don't last too long if it lasts longer than the usual time then they're nothing more than partners but they want to keep it unofficial though. Some FWBs do develop feelings with each other but they end up denying it 🙄. My best friend from high school had a few FWBs and open relationships because she can't stay with a man.

[Iron_Man]

Garbage lifestyle is a good way to catch a disease won’t last long doing that kind of stuff

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Not cool. I don't support such lifestyle as it cheapness relationships.
