not something i've really done. i think i'd consider it if i knew and trusted the person. If me and my bf broke up and still were friends i probly would with him for awhile still if he was willing to but most likely he wouldnt want a noo strings attached thing.

I wasn't sure what answer to pick, but I did this with my last boyfriend before my fiance. We dated for three years. It was a high school thing, but it was still really serious and after we broke up we were friends with benefits up until only 5 days before getting with my fiance which is really funny. I didn't like the idea, but I just didn't know how to let him go. He was my first love.

I had to vote the way I did because it has happened for me, mostly with one person. I should have voted never because we always ended up back together, which in turn meant that we ended up breaking up again, and going back to FWB, and so forth. UGH

I voted once in a blue moon but then I got to thinking about it. Say you do and then you fall even more in love and one day the other person wants to call it off? Now your heart is broken even more so than it would have been. To me your just setting yourself up.

Done it before n its a little weird to do.

I can't recall ever doing that. Seems like a really bad idea, especially considering my exes!
05/07/2011
I just can't do it.
05/07/2011
I wouldn't do it, I'd feel I was degrading/devaluing myself personally. You either have all of me in a romantic relationship or none of me. If they "need some".. they have two hands and I can use my vibrator...
I wouldn't even want to be friends with them anymore, it would be too painful.

I considered it with my first guy, and depending on how bad a break-up was, I may consider it. If we just decided that we couldn't work emotionally but could both handle sex without the emotions, I'd be fine with sexing up until we met other people who looked interesting.

I have done it before, but it left me feeling hollow cause I still had feelings. I won't make that mistake again.

i had a fwb thing w/ my x after we broke up. we ended up getting back together a few months later.

I have never done it. I'm usually the one initiating the breakup so I would feel like I was stringing them along.

Same here. I wouldn't want to give them false hope, when I obviously didn't want to keep things going.

once it's dead, it's dead. I know when I'm done with a relationship i 1. really hate them or 2. have feelings for them and i would never want to be with someone the sex when there was an emotional component involved beforehand.

Usually not the best idea. FWB should be just for that purpose, and relationships separate

FWB is generally what I always go for, mostly because I haven't met the person I want to legitimately be in a relationship with...it usually works out well for a time.

I've had FWB relationship before and it was just that. If people keep it just sexual then ok,but once feelings get involved then it could get complicated and who wants that right?

the wife

For me, when its over its over but I did with one guy. The bottom line is we agreed the sex was great but we were both impossible in a relationship with each other.

Yeah I did it once. It was really nice. I was a junior in high school, he was a senior. He graduated and it ended. I really liked him, but because it was always clear that it was going to end with the year, there were no broken hearts or tears. Over all a good experience...

I've never had a big relationship fail, but I'd never want to have a friend with benefits.
11/13/2011

11/13/2011
usually. There's only been the odd time not.

I've done it, but not too often. It can work, but like so many other things, it really depends.
