I have had sex with gay Man an Women then it wasn't a problem but then there are times where there was a problem on my part an there part also do it does god both ways.
I say this I still have friends that we get down then there are then that will. never ever talk to me again it just depends on the people u are spending time with in that way.
What works for me is that I control the sex between I am then so I do not get hurt as much but it doesn't keep me from never getting hurt just for the most part.
God Bless

If you are thinking of hooking up with a friend, you may as well do it since the sexual interest is already there, rendering it not quite platonic in nature anymore.

I personally don't think sex complicates friendship.
Feelings complicate friendships and sex tends to develop feelings for some people.

So it's really more of a question of "can you have sex without getting attached?".

[Kayleighjo32]

I do hook up with my friends lol! I think you're right though, it would get far too complicated if you were a person who became attached after sex. I'm obviously not one of those people.

I don't get attached either. And because of the unique combination of being comfortable with someone and simultaneously there not being expectations of commitment, I think sex with a friend can be some of the most exciting one can have. So I wouldn't turn it down either. It's just that all parties involved need to be able have sex without attachment and expectations, and I don't always trust women when they say they are capable of that lol. I've had experience with them saying they are cool, only for them to get upset that I was being serious and that it really won't go anywhere/didn't mean anything to me.

No, it makes it weird in my experience.
It doesn’t lead to long lasting friendships.
I’m 24, I hooked up with my guy best friend when I was 16, we had known eachother since we were 8 years old. We hooked up for about 6 months, but once he got a girlfriend, he refused to even see me. When he was single, he still refused because we just complicated things and our feelings weren’t “friendly” anymore. We just started to drift apart.

Sex can complicate things with friends. It does not always turn out pretty

[AviatorTom]

In general, it's not a good idea... one of you will probably want more than friendship.

I could see some situations, though, where it might be okay. Say you're both down in the dumps and need some serious cheering up. You both agree to hookup only for the sake of forgetting the negative things around you.

You mean, To hook with your friend for S. E. X?

[Kayleighjo32]

yeah

[Wise4myage]

B. Not a good idea unless they are just casual friends and not best friends.

[xnyil]

Unless you're intending to develop your relatiinship to a new status, Inthink it's a really bad idea

[Kayleighjo32]

I think it depends on the friend. I've had friends who were really good friends of mine, but we'd sleep together occasionally- no feelings involved- just fun. But then I fell in love with my best friend with no sex involved.

not if she wants to keep him as a friend.
