Friends w/ benefits

What kinda question is that?

Of course it's ok. The real question is: Would you want to be in a relationship like that?

Different strokes for different people. For me, no. Either all or nothing.

I think it is very much okay, but it is obvious that the chances of complications, that one develops feelings for the other, is much higher.

I would like to have a sex friend, but I would honestly much rather have a girlfriend.

I think it's okay in the sense that it's also okay to go bungie jumping and sky diving. An adult can decide what he/she wants to on his/her own, but there are risks that one must accept before doing anything. Don't skydive without being aware, and accepting, that something could go wrong, and you could die; and don't get a sex friend without being aware, and accepting, that all sorts of shit could go wrong. I think the worst thing that could happen is pregnancy. How would the friends with benefits handle that?

The same way any would be parents would: talk about it and decide if the want to keep it. Remember that plenty of women get pregnant without being in a relationship. I also think religion might have something to say for a great many people.

When I was 14 I had this female friend that would give me blow jobs, but then she moved a way and I never saw her agian. That has been the only sexual interaction I've ever had.

just to put that in context, how many years ago was that?

I think it's okay if you both want it, but I don't want that myself. If a man has a girl just for sex, it might be okay in his view, but I don't want to feel 'used', as if I'm some sort of toy. If I want to have a relationship, it'd better be based on more than just sex. Although I enjoy it, it's not something the world spins around.

Sure it's OK. You just have to realize the dangers/possibilities of what can come from it, much like what everyone else has been saying.

I, myself, have had a few in my time (especially during the last year of HS, but that's another story...), and it works out. You just have to make sure to lay out the ground rules, etc, etc.

Short answer; Yes, it's fine as long as you set shit straight.

I think it's definitely healthy to have friends with benefits, especially for myself as a female surrounded by hot, sex-fiendish females. I don't know if it would be the same case for a male and his male friends.

At one point, I did have an opposite-sex friend with benefits, but it got really complicated. I don't advise something like that unless both people know what they want, are mature, and can exercise restraint. But even then, you can't really control who you like.

Its perfectly healthy...but you must be careful with the situation. I had one once, but developed feelings when he was still in the FWB stage and it made things a little messy for a while. >__<;

Definitely yes. In case you lost your old flame for your girlfriend, at least you have other options and you wouldn't feel guilty about it either. The problem would be developing feelings for your sex pals, then you're in trouble.

I don't care if other people do it, but that just isn't my thing. I like having a girlfriend for the relationship, not the sex. That's just a bonus.

Yes I have some. It's... Okay. It can get annoying sometimes.

Its ok if you dickheads are ready to take responsibilities if ever you impregnate that sex friend of yours.

I say yes if both parties are mature enough to handle it, and like alex said, set ground rules at the start.

and what shag said made me think, pregnacy is a danger, but also STD's. if i had a sex friend, it would never be with out a condom. but i probably never would have a fwb because i like to go down on women, and i can't really do that safely and properly at the same time. i tried that sheet of latex thing, it's just not the same.

I have amicable relationships with most of my old girlfriends. It is a strong debate within me to ask them out for just coffee or something and try to convince them to start a friends lustful relationship.

I decided to stop with one of mine. I'm gonna have to stop with the rest soon too.

Lucky bastard
