I personally think it works great as long as you can keep feelings out of it...

Wow...did not think this would keep going.

Brooke (and others), of course there are feelings with the other. At least there are for me. Just not the mushy wanting to be with you forever feelings.

i know, I know, but if its a dead end "relationship" why have sex?? convienance?? just to do it, I just think its a waste of time is all, ( TRAP!!) could be out trying to hook up with somebody else.

but it's not a dead end relationship, we enjoy each others company, we are friends, and I'm really not trying to hook up with some random guy from a bar or whatnot... and if neither of us are in a relationship... we get together, if one of us is, we give that space, and hope for the best for them. We respect each other and our boundries. It works out well for us... I have had similar situations that did NOT work as well, someone always got attached, sometimes it was me, sometimes it was them...

But for he and I, it works.

It is a tough relationship to have, but if you can find that one that "fills in the gaps" it works.

My friend is in Iraq, and I miss him everyday, and pray for his safety, and maybe when he comes back... things will be different, but we went into it knowing that he was going to get deployed again, I don't hold him back from finding a relationship and he doesn't hold me back, in fact he tried to set me up with one of his friends before (before the with benefits happened) we are truly just good friends.

I'm not trying to sway you and make you think it's the cat's meow.... but in this time in my life it certainly worked, I was working on issues that I had with me, and as I said he knew he was going away.

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
