Friends With Benefits. What are your thoughts on it? Is it possible to have a "fuck buddy" and not have any emotions get involved?
I am especially curious to know what the women are thinking about the subject. We tend to be the more emotional ones. Can you be intimate in that way with someone and not want more?
Have you done it before? How did that turn out? Are you still friends?

Yes it is possible. I have and I'm still friends with them. If it turns out to be a one way street, meaning you, yourself is upholding your end of the deal, but the other is becoming emotionally involved... you might have to cut them off.
Again, there are those that may start off on that foot but end up with both feet walking down the aisle. You never know.

I'm still friends with 95% of my FWB's even if the benefits ran out for whatever reasons. It's easy to do if you just keep it to the sex and not all the shit that goes along with a relationship.

Never done it, never can!
I am one of those silly gals who can't keep her heart or head out of sex......I need there to be more of a connection to enjoy it, if the connection is unestablished there is no enjoyment, therefore, No!
Fair dues to those who can.
I can't.

I can't have a FWB...I want more than that in my life..I thought about it at one time but just couldn't do it. I have feelings..and I was afraid those feelings would get hurt.

You may have all the good intentions for this to work.....but I, as a woman cannot have somebody making love (or even just hot monkey sexing) me without feelings getting involved...........I feel.......I can't help it..............that's why I find being a fuckbuddy hard.........I mean once or twice.........then cut them off cold turkey.......1 time= curiousity...more than that.......you're my boyfriend............ JMHO

I've done it a couple of times. Whether it lasts really depends on a lot of circumstances.
Without any real connection I got bored with them real quick.
The key is to be open and honest with each other about your expectations. I know a guy who's a lifetime FWB kinda guy. He works out of town for weeks at a time so when he comes home, he makes up for it, with several friends. They know he's not exclusive and it works for him.
Not my cup of tea but hey, to each his own.

FWB seems like a great idea in theory, however I found that after a while all the rules start being broken. First it starts with sleeping over, then without realizing it you're holding hands and kissing each other goodbye. Emotions will get involved if not with both people, then at least with one. And if the other person doesn't have the same feelings, then the friendship is lost. I would recommend only becoming FWB with someone who you know for sure you don't really like all that much as a friend/person... this way a lot of the emotional issues can be avoided, and you won't have to worry about possibly losing a good friend.

Have you done it before? How did that turn out? Are you still friends?
I have,but for the most part my FWB's were college guys and so that means maybe 70-80% were from other cities and when they graduated,sadness ensued if either of us developed feelings...ok mostly me.Good news is that I keep in touch with a few,one that tends to come into town and visit few times out of the year and I know one who I "hang out" with on occasion.The concept of friends with benefits is kind of tricky,sometimes you can,sometimes you can't..purely case by case basis depending on the individual.I'm one of those who falls hard,which sucks for me,lol

It doesn't work with me. When I sleep with someone I'm giving part of myself to them, so I don't think it's possible for me to shut of my emotions.

I would say yes maybe if, all you did was have sex, and i mean you call them when you want some and meet somewhere and get it on, and thats it. But if you are friends on the side and hangout then your emotions will get in the way eventually.

I can tell you as a guy I have been on both sides I have never had feeling for a FWB but once I started with a FWB and it turned into one of the worst relationships I was ever in and it lasted for 10 years!!!

I've fucked around with some of my friends,the key is to remember that you are just friends so when you see him/her pass by with an intimate other it would be a good thing, a steping stone in their life,that way there is no confusion. And remember, when he/she needs you around, you can really be a friend with benefits :)

This is exactly my point....I'm giving them my friendship first...the rest is just a bonus. i for 1 have never had a bad experience with FWB's.

If I like someone enough to become intimate with them, then I already have feelings for them. So for me, FWB doesnt work.

I've got 'em. My partner has 'em. Oddly enough, we're even friends with a few of one another's FWBs. I think the only thing we don't have is an FWB in common,

Maxim had an article for "Friends" with benefits. More or less you run a big chance ruining a friendship by fucking. It talked about the women in the FWB relationship developing feelings and heartbreak ensuing when the MALE just wanting a fuckbuddy. I have a friend myself that she has a "friend" with girlfriend who has fucked every one of his female "friends" (yes that means he fucked her)  .
Friends are in my opinion who care for you enough to have your back and not want you on your back.
I have done one night stands and an one-time FWB (I prefer LTR)

Does masturbation online count? I'm curious if the ladies here feel that is one way to be FWB.

I have found that the biggest downside of the FWB proposition is that if one person later becomes involved in an LTR, the friend is often either thrown into the closet or under the bus as a sacrificial lamb. If you really have cultivated and developed a close true friendship, that becomes a major loss. Yes, it is disturbing, but comes with the territory and is the nature of beast.

I've had a number of FWBs. They are all still good friends. We are all still open, I think, to repeat those intimate encounters, but all are friends who live at a distance. Having one nearby increases the likelihood of intimate exchange, and creates a proximity dynamic towards FWB looking very much like a relationship. I pulled back from one once because her expectations started shifting, pushing for greater frequency and move movie time, etc., which felt to me like we were headed into a relationship, and I knew we didn't have that kind of traction.
For me, its like any relationship. All relationships have shifting expectations, all have conflict, all have unmet desires and wants. What makes any of them work is communication and a level of honesty and self-awareness that helps one navigate with sensitivity and alertness to when things aren't going as expected by both parties and then being able to communicate effectively about such distorted expectations.

Nail on the head. Its not so much losing someone like that,but being their punching bag or shoulder to lean on if they and their bf/gf are having troubles. There's still the "friend" element there,so if you were once close,there's some emotional suffering deep down because they found someone and you still want to be "the good friend" for your sake, sometimes in hopes to be there if their relationship fails. Anyway,its a fucked up situation,that. No one knows it more than me at the moment.

It's great having a FWB. I have a couple of them. We always have a great time and have great safe sex !! We are very intimate with each other. We enjoy lots of kissing,touching,caressing,licking and pleasing each other orally. Sometimes after a hard day at work all you want is a really good hard hot FUCK !!!!

Is it possible to have a "fuck buddy" and not have any emotions get involved?
Absolutely-because it HAS to be that way. If there is interest in more / emotions involved its not FWB, its a relationship. The two things don't coexist.

As an older woman, I have become free of some of the usual hard-wired needs of a woman for security, creating a nest, all those things that spell out monogamy. Those things that makes you jealous or hurt if an intimate partner (aka fuck buddy) finds happiness with someone else.
I love and have loved men who are loyal to their wives (note: I said loyal and not faithful -- I make a distinction). Friendship is based on alot of the same things as a relationship : shared values, shared experiences, similar likes and dislikes and that undefinable element, chemistry.
I am not bi but have had 3 ways with gf and we are friends and confidants as well as lovers.

It really depends on the people and the circumstances. I had one and he was a great friend, a fantastic lover and it lasted over 5 years. We are still friends and see each other once in a while. It did stop for a while due to medical reasons and I moved further away. We are still in contact and see each other once in a while.

It can and does work, but only with the right mindset. In my past, I have had several FWB's and we are still great friends to this day. We have moved on but still have a great bond and friendship. So I think it just really depends on where you are in life and what you want and finding someone who is in the same spot.
