Friends with ''Benefits''

What are your thoughts to it? Is it doable? Is it realistic? Do you think that it's immoral?
Yes it is doable.
Yes it CAN be done realistically.
I do not believe it to be immoral in and of itself, but it can be immoral.

I suspect they are being a trolling douche bag.
Hopefully because they are bored.

It could be the case... it does seem to be some sort of attempt at irony towards how slutty we all are, or something. But some of the posts are totally lost on me.

My thoughts exactly. It can be immoral when there is a power imbalance and one person ends up having their emotions exploited following a hit of oxytocin, if the other person is predatory enough to enjoy and exploit the attention and sex derived from the other person's unrequited romantic feelings.

It may be a theoretical for you, but I was a FWB before my marriage.

The thing is, the benefits part was not what it was about.
In fact, we only had sex eight or nine times in the six years the with benefits was going on.
We are still good friends even after thirteen years of marriage to my wife.

Its fun to have discussion about this , but most people are way way WAY overthinking it.

its just sex with a friend , nothing complicated about having fun is there.

over thinking ruins fun :)

i know loads of people who.have been doing it for many years with no problems.... ..... Its gives you a great sense of freedom .

iv done it a few times ....... Its just normal and very mature .

i wonder how many swingers are on this site. ;)........ I shall go and search.lol

This is very interesting, because it's probably common (I've assumed so to a degree) that a FWB type thing would be all about the sex, and here you say it wasn't. Very cool that you remained friends after the FWB thing ended. :)

I suspect that is the problem.
Far to many people concentrate on the benefits and let the friends part go to ****.
So then it becomes about the benefits and not the friend.

I have never seen a relationship based solely on sex last.
