I would think that it would have to depend on the two. I know one couple that started out a F***buddies, and are now married and very happy with it. I would guess if there was more there than just what started, then it would work.
It's a tough one isn't it? You know, try as I might, I just couldn't in a million years...no way. I know I could never trust that person completely...or not enough to allow a healthy relationship to flourish...which is completely I suppose.
I mean, surely you gotta love somebody to wanna 'do' 'em right? That's just my feelings on the matter though...it takes all sorts.
I see what you mean. For me, there would have to be more than just 'knocking boots'...a bit of feeling and friendship, etc. *may* make me more prone to considering it. It would be tough, indeed.
I would, First we have to like each other, just to be F*Ck buddies, second, we have to have something in common just to be F*ck buddies, if we were not F*ck buddies we will be one night stands, So even if we don't think about it, they're some common ground and something can grow up out of it.

Hi there Aircon
Mmm...well at the end of the day i reckon it comes down to trusting one another when and if you want to share your life with someone. Having a f*ck buddy and making love to someone you love is completley different.
Well as I've never had a friends with benefits don't think it would be an option for me.
I just don't get the whole friends with benefits thing.What were to happen if one were to start having feelings for the other.I would also wonder how many other friends with benefits they have.I just think there are too many diseases out there to be playin around like that.I know there is protection,but nothing is full proof.
Ok, so you wanted the physical part without the bull...fine.
So, question for anybody who's been in the same position: how can a person trust someone who's had f*ck buddies, to retain their self control if they've had such liasons prior to meeting someone and wanting to start a long term relationship?
Because, self control IS vital in any monogamous relationship. You won't feel madly in love all the time...you won't like them all the time. At work, you may be the object of flattery from work mates...you need self control in those circumstances. Does an ex f*ck buddy have such self control, even if they've decided to establish themselves in a commited relationship?
