If your friend wanted to engage in a one night stand with you, how would you react?

Question

Let’s just say your best friend (this best friend can be the same or opposite gender), confesses to you and says they find you attractive, and they want to engage in sexual activity with you.

How would you react? Would you go along with it, decline, or even go as far as to end the friendship? Why did you choose this decision?

I can see this as a situation I've experienced, she was married and children.
We were really good friends, I was giving her a lift home, she grabbed hold of my arm and nearly in tears..
I went to a cafe with her and have a chat.
The story she told me I was nearly in tears.
I said sex would not change anything only make it more complicated..
Admittedly it was difficult not to give into her. We ended up at my house. We kissed, but managed to get her to go to bed , thankfully step daughter came in which made things a little easier.

The most important thing is to figure out , "Why now?"
If they are coming off of a traumatic experience or event, it could be rebound sex, which usually turns out later to be full of regret and humiliation.
If it is a true case of exploding horniness that can no longer be suppressed and you are agreeable, then "Let the show begin!".

There is no formula, in the end depends on whether you feel some kind of attraction towards him/her, or not, and in your perspective about intimating with someone in a sexual way: is it a big deal or is it just meh?

having sex with someone you care about can unlock feelings that might not have been there before. especially a close friend just be careful you might catch yourself a soul tie

considering my best friend is my ex,, who i have feelings for still,,, i'd say no. i want to do things with him- but that seems too risky for me right now. we'd have to talk,, but maybe other arrangements could be made ;)

my best friend knows how I feel about being seen as a sex object. So they would definitely lose some points in how high I see them as a friend.

If I felt the same way we would be doing it!

menina · Answer

I would freak out for sure and I would decline it. I don't do one night stands and I'm pretty sure this situation would ruin our friendship.

I've had friends come on to me and I've rejected them and it made the friendship a bit awkward for awhile and then it went almost back to normal but everyone respected me enough not to ask twice otherwise I'd have gotten really angry

FeralChihuahua · Answer

He’s my best friend for a reason. Hard pass and I would probably stop talking to them

Hangry22 · Answer

Of course decline

Elsa143 · Answer

NO ! I will warn him by saying "don't talk to me like that again" and avoid this topic. If I sense some hidden motives again, I will remove him from my best buddy list or ghost him. Because I was focused on genuine friendship and he was viewing me as an answer to satisfy his inner demons need.
Men are more superficial and sex hungry that's why more incels saying yes. We girls got self respect, loyalty and morals.

WesBrewer · Answer

I would laugh at them and say they should know me well enough that I would say no to them.

Depends on the friend but I've done it and it usually is fun as long as you have some serious talking before and after.

rachel776 · Answer

i've done this sometimes

summiter · Answer

If I was not in a committed relationship with another girl at the time I probably would. I would make sure we talked about birth control first and discussed the fact that sex would change our friendship.
