To each his/her own

only when it's convenient for ME...

i think it's alright, if that friend knows you're intention.. and that you don't backstab one another..
-
there are alot of people who are involved sexually and thats it. it depends on how both of you feel about the situation. you want to make sure that you will not get attatched because they may not like you back like that and you could get hurt. another concern also is to make sure that you guys use protection ALL the time. because since you are not in a relationship, they most likely will be sleeping with other people.
-
I think it is to easy. No commitment no responability no accountability. It's a slippery slope with little or no morality.
-
As long as both people honestly understand and are at an emotional place where they can seriously not have expectations, then it is fine. The problem is that sometimes a person will agree to a "friends with benefits" because they are still in love and just want to have whatever contact they can. This can cause them more heartache in the long run. I don't have a problem with any two people who come to a mutually beneficial agreement.
-
One person will always get hurt, because likely one person wants more than just "a friend with benefits".
-
yeah.. i think every friend should benefit one another in someway or whats the point?
-
Sure---If they've got a better 401K or health plan then count me in.
-
If it's fun and safe then why not? People make things complicated sometimes when there is no need.
-
It is if both people are equally OK with it, I suppose. It just seems a little too "nonchalant" to me. It wouldn't be something I'd ever want to be.
-
as long as both parties agree to it.
-
i don't know what do you think?
-
sure.
-
That sort of things fu*ks with my mind. Can't do it, but I don't think its wrong either.
-
Right or wrong--just not for me.
-
I probably can be, but only if both are single, unattached, and available. THEN there's the possibility that one is hoping for a more... permanent... relationship. When that happens, someone gets hurt.
-
In theory it sounds good BUT.... in reality I truely believe that one person may or most likey eventually feel stronger about the other. And when one of which people decides they are ready for an actually relationship (with someone else) and want to end the "friends with benefits" business the other may be left feeling hurt, vonerable, alone and ultimately feeling as if they are good enough to sleep with but NOT good enough to be in a relationship with. Just my take on it.

If it ain't I never said I was a saint.
-
I don't want to say it's right. However, I am considering having one. This is not a position I ever dreamed I'd be in before it came up in conversation..
-
Sure why not. Keeps things interesting right?
-
no, freinds with benefits really means: one of them is using the other, while the one being used is hoping that the sex would maybe, someday help him see her as a person.
-
i think its okay only if both friends are single and unattached and totally agree with the circumstances and stop when they need to. me personally, i don't know if its for me b/c if i'm sharing my body with someone i would want to share more.
-
I really don't think its a question of rightness or wrongness. Rather, I think each party has to be willing to be totally honest with theirself about their feelings for the other and their expectations. That is the tricky part. It is so easy to tell one's self 'oh after we have sex for 2 months he'll get totally bonded to me' that's a set up for pain. or for that matter to deny one's true feelings or even worse not be aware of one's true feelings for the other. I think its hard but then it is a personal choice each person must make for theirself.
