Alright. So I have this guy friend... *Bob* (haha) and Bob and I have been in serious relationships for a while. Now... keep in mind that Bob and I are only friends... and we both know our next relationship will only be for play.
So, knowing all this--like how he ABSOLUTELY doesn't want a girlfriend and all that... am I CRAZY to be his "friend"? Will it make me seem like a hoe?

I've been doing the friends-with-benefits thing for a while now and it is working out okay for me, and for him too, I assume.
It's a better situation if you have reasons not to have a real relationship; like I'm still in too much pain from my last real one to do that again, but I don't want to do without sex and physical intimacy. If there is not a compelling reason for you to stay out of relationships, I would suggest not doing the FWB thing, because people who aren't in the right place for it do get hurt.

It can and will work if the ground rules are followed. I have such a friend and we both know its just for the sex, nothing else. We are both still married and we both were victims of infidelous spouses. We started this 2 years ago and had sex 5 times so far. Its just enough to not fall for more of a relationship, neither 1 of us wants that, I would not want her for any more than what we have. We are now just what our spouses are "Cheaters". no, your not crazy or a hoe, we all need sex. You don't have to be emotionally involved for sex, its just nice to get it from someone you can trust.

No you will not be but the emotional state of mind once Bob moves on to some one else or just needs space will affect your well being. Understand that such a relationship can hurt both of you. The question is what will happen when you hurt him??? Good luck my friend.

I think this doesn't work, because someone is always (even subconsciously) expecting the situation to become something other than what it is. Besides, why would you settle for a guy who doesn't think enough of you to use you for anything but a booty call? You're crazy to be his "friend" because your self worth is greater than that.

"If it harm none, do as you will" -- keep that first part in mind. Some people can handle a casual relationship and some can't. Do you want more? And if he wants more? If that's on the radar screen, better be honest. And DEFINITELY keep your contraception up to date.
Otherwise, it can be a rewarding experience.

well personally i think the whole "friends with benefits" thing is just retarded, if ur gonna act like ur gonna be goin out with sum1 then just go out with them and if u dont want a bf/gf then dont even be friends w/benefits, cuz 2 me its kinda like goin out with them, so i guess i dont think it works at all

ask yourself this Q...what is more important to you? Friendship or sex to satisfy your urges?
