lol yes, it makes it ever so slightly better if you're single...

I don't personally agree with it, however, I could not care less if one of my friends was happy in one-I wouldn't judge them for it!

In my experience? It's ****, but I guess you need to make your own mistakes and try it for yourself to realise that.

its my best mate and she sleeping with her ex and im kinda confused by it i wld never randomly sleep with some but im not gunna judge her just dont want her to get hurt but i think shes going too

maybe she likes sex.

It could just be she wants closure OR she's having trouble letting go. That second one could be a big problem. Just because you're sleeping with a guy doesn't mean it's going to bring him back no matter how good in bed you are. If you're concerned you can mention it to her and at least let her know you're there if she needs you, but other than hiding out in the closet and popping out whenever things start getting out of hand it's really not your call. Girl has to make her own choices.

Depends on the person. Its probally better to try as hard as posssible not getting emotionally attached, as itll all end in tears if the persons not intrested.

I think its good as long as one person doesn't get emotionally involved! From experience, It's great as you have great sex without the relationship aspect (I had just broke up with a long term boyf so didnt want a relationship.) Although I think its quite inevitable that one person will develop feelings, as it's hard to sleep with somebody on a regular basis and detach all emotions from it!

like your thinking.
probably very true!

It can be really, really nice. I was so worried it would change everything, but nothing changed except being a bit closer ha! But then we both laid down the terms from the very outset. It's just... nice. Ha.

It is not something I would do personally as it can get messy. If both people agree on it and want nothing more then it's fine for a while. The problems start when one person developes feelings for the other person and wants more.

It is much worse in my view if it is with an ex, because it again it get's messy and old feelings can return.

Been asked before, time and time again. It always warrants the same response.

They don't work.

Its bad if you're the clingy sort who can't help getting attached. If you can truely just remain 'buddies', then its great....hey, its sex, why wouldn't it be?:biggrin:

I guess it just depends what exactly about sex it is you get pleasure from.

To me its more than just having an orgasm, after all, you can do that on your own. To me its about doing something fun/special with somebody you like and all that comes with that, not just the feeling going through your genitals.

When I was 18 I couldn't think of anything better than having a **** buddy, but as I've grown older and experienced it myself the appeal has just completely worn off.

I tried that, fell in love with the guy. It got messy. Enough said.

True that.
It's hard not to get emotionally involved. If you can, then go for it.

Is it neccessary to become friends in the process?

Reply 19

personally i prefer not to have them. tried it before and it just didn't feel right. sex is so much better when you are emotionally involved. gets better every time :smile: if you aren't emotionally involved you risk it becoming all you talk about/do/expect of that person and the friendship can eventually break down. this then transfers to other friends and it becomes all you talk about with your friends and there's another friendship breakdown when they get sick of it and you've got no other conversation. seen it happen so many times.
also you've gotta be careful who you choose cos being **** buddies with someone who gives every detail or with more than one person can give a reputation that won't be wanted.
