chris27292729: Friends with benefits,is mostly applicable, to western cultures.- In some other countries if women found out practicing it, usually finish up stoned to death.-

True, but then the OP asked for my opinion and not an overview on what other cultures may or may not find acceptable.

MADDOG69: Yeah... some of these 'friends' tend to be snakes in the grass. So when she has a row with you, she'll run to him for consolation. Then he'll make his move. Never did like them type of snakes... and never liked them women who collected these Mangina friends either.

And some friends without benefits kick their dogs! I mean, this is so besides the point. We can Always find isolated examples of good things gone wrong or bad things gone right.

Moral arguments? Concepts of morality differ from individual to individual. Hence each to decide what fits within his/her moral compass, and allow others to do the same.

wave 61% said yes. Now fast forward to having a relationship
now, and the friends are still there, and some come out of the
woodwork. What about the other partner? Get them to understand
right?

scold Just because others don't share the same moral code that the 39% share, does not mean they are lacking in morals, or immoral.
