  • I once did. I'm not particularly the detached type, so I got too involved and had my share of anxiety because of it. I wouldn't recommend it. It is rare when the friendship or overall relationship isn't damaged in the long run.
  • I used to have a friend like that, long before I got married. He was a friend with benefits. We did all kinds of things together, and had a blast. There was no commitment, just pure FUN! :)
  • Hell yeah, but if that person is getting in the way of your want for someone else then dump them seeing as there is 'no strings attached'.
  • In a perfect world, that sounds really great. But, I know for a fact I'm just not the FWB type. To me, there is no such thing as "no strings attached", whether I want it that way or not. I've tried, but it just isn't in my nature.
  • I did that for a while after my separation. It lasted a good while. It would be a rare person that I would be able to do that with. Or it could have just been me in that particular time in my life. I would do it again as I am a one man woman and am currently not looking for anything serious right off the bat.
  • Real friends are hard to come by. I'd rather keep the friend and find a no-strings-attached lover elsewhere. Sex can complicate things.
  • 10 or 12 years ago? Yes. However, now at 38, I realize that there is no such thing as "no strings attached."
  • I don't think this person is such a good friend if they just want to use your body and not your mind or heart in their sexual gratification. Pehaps after this offer, they would slip into the "satisfactory" friend classification.
  • Yeah if you're into that. Not if you have any romantic feelings for the person, you're likely to become attached.
  • Sounds very tempting but friendship will not be the same if one of you find someone else. It all depends on how you value your friendship. I will not have sex outside a relationship because it seems to me it is like a one night stand everyday or every other day with the same person (ironic isn't it?).
  • Doubtful.
  • YES YES YES!!!!! I need one of those!!!!!!!!!!
  • Depends on you "moral standards". Me personally? No. Also, I've seen alot of friendships like that ruined becuase on peson doesnt know how to fully stay attached. It ends up bein gmore drama and time then its worth, and when things like that happen, its hard to get the relationship to what it use to be.
  • Okay I understand the attraction but at what cost? For a 'legover' you could be losing a good friend, and if you are lucky not to lose the friendship could the relationship ever be the same?
  • I guess that is up to you. Are you even remotely attracted to this good friend of yours? Some people would think it weird to have sex with a person whom has only been a good friend in their life. You think this person might have feelings for you, if so maybe this would not be a good idea because they might not be able to take the separation when you do find someone else. Are you willing to run the risk of putting a strain in your relationship to where it might even dissolve itself afterwards. Not trying to sound all doomsday and negative or anything,I've just always put the worst things that can happen in a situation when facing a dilemma and then from there I make my decision by asking myself if I can deal with the worst thing that can happen. If I can, well then I do it. If I don't well, then maybe it's not a good idea and I should pass. I hope this helps
