It is a relatively new "term"....and certainly an interesting concept...

What exactly do you think of having friends with benefits...what are the pros and cons of having such an arrangment?

We just had a whole thread on this! Funny how that happens around here, though.

I've had such a relationship with one of my current buddies. We broke it off when I started dating someone and he developed an interest in somebody...and haven't resumed it. We're still good friends.

I think it's not for everyone, but if you have a friend that can do that with you and remain friends, and is in the same situation, then it's great. We did it without further emotional attachment because we knew exactly how we felt and what we were looking for at the time, and agreed that it would end if one of us got into a relationship. We were both recovering from losses, and it was a good stop-gap for us then.

pros....there is no commitment. no strings attached. you can just do whatever and leave when youre done whatever it is you chose to do.

cons..... emotional attachment. you can grow attached and the other person might not feel the same as you do. its easier to get burned.

my FWB experiences only ever involved making out though. i suppose there are diferent forms of FWB. i personally have only ever slep with one person and that is the man i am with now.

If i was to pick one man from Cs, as a friend with benefits, i know who it would be. However, he has a really big mouth....which could be both good devil and bad for me. laugh


No, not that one.
