Friends with Privileges/Benefits

I've slept with girl-friends before, as well as my best friend's girlfriend. Meh. I feel like, as a society, we tend to put entirely too much emphasis on sexual relationships (probably quite different in the rest of the world, but keep in mind that sex is still a very taboo subject in the United States). I don't feel the need to love someone just because I want to fuck them, and I don't see how having sex has to affect a friendship "negatively." If you're in the right mindset, having a "friend with benefits" or merely sleeping with a friend because you're bored and want to get off is a-okay.

Day to Day, June 12, 2008 · Youth Radio's Jennifer Marshall, 19, says that because young people are so fearful of committment, boyfriends and girlfriends have been replaced by "friends with benefits."

That girl is retarded.
 
one of the best relationships i ever had could be described as "friends with benefits"....

fucking hell. that's really the only kind of relationship i ever want to deal with again come to think of it.
 
Actually, I found it tiring. Maybe it's the culture, but, dating and sleeping with the 3 girl-friends I have had in Beijing wasted a lot of my time.

I sometimes think a committed relationship is a lazy man's way out because he/she doesn't want to deal with the emotional crap from multiple people at the same time.

I guess it depends on how much weight someone places on a intimate relationship.
 
That has doodley-squat to do with the subject at hand. Stay on topic.
 
I was never in to sleeping around. I'm married to a wonderful women (best one in the world) and have a little baby. Becuase we have been with each other for a few years now we know what each other likes. From my point of view there's a difference in bonking someone you hardly know and someone you care about, I've heard a lot of people say that they can separate sex from their emotions and then seen that couldnt.
 
I had a fuck buddy once. It was pretty cool, she was too obnoxious for a relationship (plus she wasn't the best looking :) ) the problem came when she would always call me when she wanted some, but then on a night when I'd call her up i'd get shot down. I got sick of that after a while.
 
never close friends and never if either one of us is in a relationship. but yeah, it happens. and why wouldn't it? 2 consenting adults. *shrug*
 
I guess the problem with that is that both people may agree on casual sex but sooner or later one of them will inevitably get emotionally involved. Every single relationship of that kind (that I know of) went down the shitter and definitely affected the friendship.
 
That is excatly why i almost never have sex with women i like or respect. Since i'm inevitably going to get bored and walk away anyway, i may as well not be emotionally invested in the woman.
 
I wish I had friends that was attractive enough that sex wouldn't become torture.

I can't fuck someone out of pity or to save a relationship. There has to be attraction.

Alas, I feel that this picture best describes your situation:

sounds frighteningly familiar. even a fuckbuddy developes over time into the usual blood sucking relationship harpy i try to avoid as fuck for some 3 years now. i got very used to MY terms of casual sex with several different women. i would not call it a lifestyle (along the lines that gay people call their quite ridiculous sexual deviation a "lifestyle"), but it makes my life exactly that bit easier that i need it to be. i am unsure if and when this will end, i am very happy with these arrangements.

yeah, casual is an extremely good word for that. if i go on a "hunt", i have no problem at all to hit on every chick available. may end with a nice cup of get the fuck away from me, but more often than not i succeed. there are a lot of ladies out there who prefer similar arrangements, i guess.
 
I know atleast two girls I would love to fuck that are friends with my girlfriend.

Honestly, what man wouldn't want to have fuck buddies. The thing is shit rarely happens the way we envision it would. One person starts getting emotionally involved. One person would have problems with the type of people his/her fuck buddy had other than them. STDS, jelousy, the list goes on and on.

Also on average, it takes money to have this kind of sex life. Atleast from my experience, the women who are into casual sex also happen to be the women who use sex as a form of weapon/job. Everything comes at a price.
 
I actually just acquired a friend with benefits yesterday. Thing is, we weren't friends before that. I used to work with her and just happened to bump into her downtown. We got to talking for a while and we used to have a mutual attraction but when I knew her I was dating someone else. We both discussed how we were sick of being jerked around by the opposite sex and didn't want a serious relationship right now, so I just came right out and asked her and she agreed to it. The plan is we have fun until one of us develops feelings for the other and then call it off. I'm not so naive as to believe it will be that simple, but hell, what good is living if you don't keep things interesting?

My God I want to bang some of my friends.

You'd be surprised how many women are willing to go along with it. We sometimes forget that they have needs too. I've had five in my lifetime, and honestly I've never been one to know that many people, so I'm drawing from a small pool. Truth is though, it depends on the woman and of course whether or not there is an attraction. Sometimes I get stuck in the, "I love you like a brother" situation but then while she won't date me she'll still fuck me. Who knew? Ex-girlfriends who you stay friends with after your breakup are usually the easiest to convince, in my experience. There's often still residual feelings there and if you handle it right you can cash in on them. Of course one of them didn't appreciate it and I lost her as a friend after a while. Honestly, women know how much we think about sex and if you suggest it to her, she should realize that it's just in our nature and hopefully if you get rejected she'll not think less of you. Just don't persist too much about it if you want to keep her as a friend. The best time is when she herself is sexually frustrated, like when she hasn't dated in a while or when she's horny but doesn't want the headache of a boyfriend. You just suggest it as a mutual solution to your predicaments, and if it gets too weird you call it off. You have to be prepared though, feelings may develop and you could lose her as a friend, or possibly gain her as more. It's all a gamble, and women know this and often aren't willing to risk what you already have. That itself is the biggest wall, but it's all about timing, how you word it, how well you read her, and a little luck. And be prepared to have an exit strategy in case it doesn't work out.

Wrong pic is wrong.




Its shockingly easy to manipulate a friendgirl into breaking up with her boyfriend (At least temporarily), and then fucking her while shes still in the depressed/needy phase.

Don't expect it to last though.


*edit*

Holy shit, I wore that watch in middleschool :o
