Moderators, apologies in advance if this should be in the sex threads....

Anyone involved in a friends with benefits situation? How is that working for you?

Have been involved in one? How did it end?

I'll start. Did it ages ago with an ex-boyfriend. Ended because feelings were still involved and I knew we would not end up back together. Still very good friends though.

Share with me, people! The boy is in bed and I'm tired of the tv.

I had one, he is in Iraq now, but it worked well, when we did things as friends, we didn't sleep together, and when we slept together, we didn't chit chat... kept things seperate....

I love and sdore him in many ways, but just don't match enough to date on a regular basis....

It is a tricky situation, because you do have to keep things seperate...

I've not done that since high school. I think I could've done it in my early twenties, but now that I'm a bit older intimacy is too tied up in emotions for me and I take that seriously.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it, or that I've been intimate with everyone since then because I loved them, but I just don't feel the same way about it I used to.

As a continual thing though... I think it causes more problems than it results in fun. flowerforyou

The whole friends with benefits thing just wld and does not work for me.

I invest too much of myself in sex to just have it!


I want something deep and long lasting

i will shock you all. i have never done it.
everyone i've ever been with has been someone
i was feeling an intensely emotional
connection with.

i have been lucky to have found those special
ones. although i will say that at the ending
of the relationship - if ardor had cooled then
there were times when the feeling was tending
more towards philia than eros.

it is not really in my nature to have fwb.
for my friends i have a love but it is friendly - philia

for my lover is reserved something which is not so "reserved"

So true.

As John Shaft asked in the Shaft remake..."Do you want the LD or do you want to be held?" The response he got was, "Maybe I want the LD then I want to be held."

Such a shame life is not like the movies!!!

That is an easy thing for a virgin to say about sex... I wish I would have never tried ice cream either because I really really like it too...

Sex without love is just acrobatics...

Sex with love is divine....

at least that's what my positive affermation calendar says...

but I'll take acrobatics with someone I'm close to, if I can't have divinity...
