Now, there's an ''interpretation'' I haven't heard, yet. Demon

Girly & Manly been monogamous our entire sexual lives. Got no clue how these "friend with benefits" could possibly be beneficial. Tongue

Asked two of my offline Christian friends and they say it ‘cheapens your worth in a man’s eyes.’
My offline atheist friends say ‘nothing wrong with it, but if feelings emerge, it can ruin the friendships.’

Hmmm. I don’t want to get serious with anyone, but hanging out with someone in a ‘mutually beneficial’ arrangement, sounds…appealing.

Would be interested in your ideas about it, and if you have stories to share of your own. (good or bad)

If this means having sex with friends just because fun, then yes.

For some reason, all the female friends I've made are either gay or old enough to be my mother. As you can imagine, it'd be pretty awkward to have a FWB-type arrangement with them.

Your comment is interesting because it shows how we all think differently, in terms of sexuality. For me to post this thread to begin with though, I obviously don't think lightly of it, so...yea. lol It sounds wildly fun in theory, but could it work for me? Yet to be seen, maybe.

Friends with Benefits ... awe yes ... I do recall.

Men typically have better luck with it than women due to the fact that we compartmentalize better. However I've known several men who tried it and failed miserably. I could've easily continued with the FWB arrangement, but unfortunately for me, I'm just too damn adorable. They always fall in love.

I am going to have to call you on that assertion.
