Sex Through Platonic Relationships

You hear it all time, how difficult relationships are to maintain and follow through with. Nowadays most folks are just leaving that aspect in the rear and getting what they want without giving what the other wants. No, it's not only men, it's women too! Both men and women are following the "don't ask, don't tell" rule when it comes to hooking up and making things official.

Give credit to those lovers or relationship onlookers who are indeed faithful and happy together. With so many handsome and beautiful people in the world today, there are so many people to choose from especially if all you're seeking is a night in the bedroom. For many who live this lifestyle the rule is that there are no emotions involved and you can see whomever you want. The benefit of having a friend with benefits is you get the chance to continue exploring, while satisfying your needs at the same time. Let's examine and explore the different benefiting friends:

The 'On the go' friends

He/she is usually always on the go. Working non-stop hours, traveling or just trying to stay busy as hell. These people really don't have the time for a commited relationship. True, they could make a slight adjustment to their careers or schedules if they wanted but most choose not too - that is unless they find someone worth settling down with. The "on the go" friend lives this lifestyle for years, often avoiding some of the most fulfilling prospects, failing to see all this until the very last minute of their sexual prime.

The 'I am not ready for it yet' friends

This is the procrastinator of the clan. They know they want you but bad experiences and memories have scarred them for life. These folks never got over they're past relationship and as a result, they're going to make you pay for it! Most of em tend to be whiny or make excuses as to why the two of you shouldn't hook up. Either that or they string you along on an emotional roller coaster; hoping to do just enough to keep you around for the benefit. They call at wee hours of the night, damn near in tears, hoping to reel you in. You'll be their umbrella thru their fierce storm of emotions.

Superfreak

The freak is just on a whole another level. They do whatever, with whomever, whenever and however. As long as an opportunity is present, they'll swoop in like vultures to pick whats out on the scene. The freak doesn't want a relationship because they enjoy their freedom far too much. Most of the relationships they've been in have fallen apart because of their infidelity and inability to stay committed.

Greedy-Needy

He/she is already in a committed relationship but is seeking something more so on the side. Typically, they consider that friend on the side a get away; just a friend who they can confide to when their relationship is missing a few elements - but they only want you to fulfill what they wish their lover did.

The Contract

It's no secrets amongst the two, they tried pursuing a relationship but it just didn't pan out. So the two decided to stay close together, literally. They have an honor system and mutual agreement to only sleep with each other; never catching feelings and/or becoming too clingy and needy. At the same time, they've both established that whoever finds true love first, the two will remain friends but abolish their sexual tendencies out of respect.

For some, having a friend like this is a true benefit, allowing them options to remain single but still get what it is they want without giving away too much. However, in other circumstances there is always a possibility that one friend isn't totally honest about their sexual background and could potentially pass along an STD or involve you in love triangles that can be harmful or even fatal. To others, a friend with benefits is a definite NO as they only are interested in persons looking for a more meaningful bond.
