The idea of Friends with Benefits is absolutely fanastic and these reasons are all compelling.
But can Friends With Benefits situations really work?
Maybe I just too conditioned by the Hollywood machine that says these relationships do not work (at least in the short term) because at least one of the people involved will develop feelings–with hi-larios shenanigans soon to follow. Ultimatelu though, they get together in a loving relationship on the end…or something really bad happens.
Personally, I don’t think I’ve known anyone who jas had this set-up. I know lots of poly folks, but I think that is different. I also knows lots of casual fuckers, they don’t really report repeat encounters.
So, what is holding more people back from this arrangement? Is it notions of sex and love? Is it that we are friends with people because we aren’t interested in them sexually? Is it society?
