Friends with benefits?

[Bittersmart]

I don't find it appealing. For me, sex is more than just bumpin' uglies. Having sex with someone is intimate. Having sex with someone and then turning around and being "just friends" with them would be really weird. Like, hey, you were just inside me, but don't hold hands with me at the mall, it's not like that. I guess I'm just a very monogamous kind of person and I only like being intimate with people if we're in a relationship.

This is interesting. I'm glad you weighed in. I don't sleep around (ftr) and thinking this all through, I'd want to be 'exclusive' if we were doing something like this, for a number of reasons.

So, fwb, but exclusive. Isn't that called a relatonship? lol

LOL....yes.

I'm trying to avoid falling in love, you see. I was VERY badly hurt in the last two relationships (last one in particular) and if I could never feel love ever again, I would be fine with that. :/

Aww, don't reject love just because you got burnt! Being hurt suuuuuucks, I know, but love is worth it. Love makes all that past heartache feel like the mild heartburn you had that one time. When you find love again, oh, man, it's the bee's knees.
