Friends with Benefits: A Guy's Point of View

Can Friends Who Sleep Together, Remain Friends when It's Over?

Blue Moon
I have read some comments that woman and men have left on several different sites commenting on articles written about Friends With Benefits (FWB). I just wanted to share with you my point of view of a Friends With Benefits arrangement.

If you are contemplating on whether or not to pursue a FWB arrangement than you should ask yourself, What do I expect out of this arrangement? Will this be a long term or a short term sexual arrangement? Will he still respect me as a friend when it ends? Will I respect myself when it ends? Am I willing to get checked for STD's regularly?

Sex, Pleasure, and Attention from the opposite sex is all we crave. Friends With Benefits was invented by man so we can have fun and not get involved with a committed relationship. If you are involved in a FWB arrangement and you are asking yourself, Is he using me for sex? Hell yes he is using you for sex. Get your head out of your ass!

If you are going to be in FWB arrangement you have to be honest with yourself, your partner, have rules, and communicate. However, If you begin to fall for your FWB and you decide to tell your partner, be prepared to lose your FWB status and possibly a friend.

Enter a FWB arrangement only if you can agree to keep it a sexual relationship. If the two of you have mutual friends, you should agree to keep it a secret. If you feel you are becoming jealous, than you need to end your FWB agreement.

Keep in mind that a FWB arrangement can work under the right circumstances. However, when you mix sex, pleasure, intimacy, romance, and feelings together, in the end someone is bound to be heartbroken. All relationships come to an end, some just last longer than others. How long do you think your FWB arrangement will last?

The following are links to other websites that will provide you with an educated decision on whether or not you want to pursue a FWB arrangement.

    Been in a FWB for over a year and a half. It's exclusive with exceptions though, we talk about possible encounters, we have yet to sleep with others. He is jealous to share, me too. But the sex is insane and for now we are hooked. He's 31 and I'm 44. I hope when we finish and move on it is easy.
