Yeah, he's pretty much giving you a clue where you'll stand in his life.  For his benifit.\nTake it or leave it...

This idea sounds good, but never actually works out. Unless it's a one night stand with someone you know you're never going to see again. Other than that, there is always going to be some emotion involved. Even if the other person agrees to just being sex buddies, they're probably just doing it to keep you aroung because they'd rather have you that way then no way at all.

yes, you can, i am actually in the process of doin that now. We're doin real good, but plz know things will not be the same. That mainly depends on who cut it off and why. I went back to my ex, my friend was a rebound but i grew to really care for him, so i didnt want to throw that away. But in time it will fade or yall will go back to having sex. You will eventually grow apart because most men dont want to be friends with a girl that they wanna do and she says no. Think hard about and i hope the make the decision thats right for you, for me it was to go and i havent looked back, buh bye

It's okay as long as you don't bring up feelings and emotions. This is when I freaked out when she started saying she loved me and asking me how did I feel. When you're friends with benefits you don't expect anything, you don't want to hear none of that moo-shy woo-shy stuff!

if it is a friend with benefits then it really is not neccesary to go into any detail.  he would just as well be truthful if it is a mutual agreement that it is ok.  you sound like you have more feelings than what you thought you had?

No it is not wrong to feel that way.  Sometimes it is better to do the whole friends with benefits type of thing.  One of my ex's and I did the friends with benefits bit and when we moved on to other relationships we were able to keep the friendship.  It is nice having a guy to talk to about anything, that you know will understand b/c he is your best friend.  I think it is more important to have a best friend than a boyfriend.  It sounds like this guy is your best friend and sometimes when you move from friends to lovers you lose the friend.  So doing the friend thing would be safer but if your feelings are really strong then go for it and if it does not work out hopefully you can still be friends.

nonono...step by step.A friendship who is beginning with sex, is ending there...that is called one-night-stand...and has absolutely anything to do with friendship.-\nFriendship is meaning cultivating friendship, and that could mean to invest trust and love,  it is during a looong time...sex can be the result after some years...when you are getting closer as planned. but carefull, sex could destroy also a friendship.

Interesting to hear the female side of this one...I was 25 and she was my good friend at the time.  She was experienced and we were both well liquored.  Afterwards I wished I had started a bit earlier since sex is very nice.  I had one additional partner before getting married and still feel lacking technique-wise.  Looking back it did impact our relationship but after some time passed we got back to almost normal.  But the one night was not a topic of discussion (yes only one night..I don't know what I was thinking when I said we should chalk it up to experience and stop there).

I'm a 21 year old female, kinda of mature for my age, so add a few years.. Anyway, the title "freind with benefits" is implying that there is more to the freindship. When someone is more friendly with another we would refer to this as flirting... So what would be more to a freindship?   When the word "benefits" is attached to "freind," what this really means is that the two are taking advantage of each other with no such thing as a commitment; which includes sexual activity.

I wouldn't use friends to get the knowledge I want. It's not a good policy. Even if your friends are beyond suspicion, I think that won't show a lot of maturity, and some guys don't like that. I know I don't. Frankly, there are few things in life that I find sexier than an honest and corageous woman. Simply ask him.

NO, don't do it! it seems you may have honest feelings for him, so do not do the friends w/ benefits. you will just get more deeply involved. what if he starts seeing another girl? honey  he's not the only man in the world, there's thousands outthere. all you need to do is keep your mind occupied and give yourself, your body value, love and respect. you know you deserve so much better than just being someone's sex object.

You have taken it to another level.  Before there was no commitment, no emotions involved, no consequences.  Now you have shown him that you might be starting to want more from him at some other level, or that you might be getting attached, and he does not want that.  Friends with benefits is just that, a way for guys to get the benefits they want without the added effort of having a girlfriend.\n\nOh, and many guys will say pretty much anything, like that they love you, if they think it will enhance the physical experience, especially when they are drunk.  If he doesn't do anything to show it when he is sober, he doesn't mean it when he is drunk.

yeahh that's never a good idea-- friends with benefits.\nbecause then things like this happen.. but i guess if you really are friends then he'll come around and see that he misses your friendship, and then things will go back to normal!

Never do the friends with benefits thing!  It's always bad.  One person usually goes into it thinking, eventually, this can turn into a relationship.  The other person says, hey, physical pleasure for free!!!  One person gets romantically attached and the other just wants pleasure for free.  So that's how it gets complicated.  If you seriously only want pleasure and the other person is dumb enough to agree, then have at it.  But if you like the person or start having feelings for them and it's clear they only want the free pleasure, dump them and start respecting yourself.  You deserve more than a friend with benefits (truthfully, this friend is using you thereby isn't that great of a friend).  You deserve a real relationship!  Good luck!
