Anyone who says friends with benefits means no one gets hurt ever is either retarded, or is amazingly good at keeping feelinggs out of it.
This. As soon as you start to feel something romantic towards a fuckbuddy/friends with benefits person, get out.
Right now, I like sex, I like being single and I don't like one night stands. So I'm pretty happy with a fwb scenario.
There is nothing wrong with casual sex as long as you're safe and aware of your situation.
Also:
you lose part of yourself to whoever you sleep with.
people think sex is only on the physical side (if it's just a friend.. no emotion).
but there's still the emotional and psychological aspect that's often neglected.
Uh. What? No.
Yes you can have all sorts of connections - emotion, physical, psychological, whatever - when you have sex but you can also just enjoy the physical act. Sure, sex in a relationship can be more fun sometimes because of those connections but I find myself less inhibited during more casual situations.
But, to each their own.
