friends with benifits
i dig it because if u have a boyfriend and you like anoter boy he can just be your friend with benifits or flirt buddy but make sure he knows he is just a friend with benifits or flirt buddy

FUN AND DIFFERENT
I dont see any wrong in friendz with benefits...like come on itz just for the fun of it. I personally have no issues with it. there is a big difference in sexual attraction/lust and attracion/love. U dont have to catch feelings for the that person.

As long as you understands it's just sex
I think friends w/ benefits is fine. As long as the people entering into it understand that, that is all it is. As long as no one going in thinks this will turn into a real relationship. But if ya'll are having fun, and know its only sex, then I say go for it.

Be smart about it
and everything will be fine. Define the term "friends with benefits", so that it fits your level of horniness and individuality. Explain the defenition for the chosen friend. If your defenitions concord, agree on the rules. And then don't get your hopes too high and enjoy every moment before you get crushed.

Its OK
Even I'm kind of in that relationsip its still ok sum ppl think the other person will end up hurt, yes thats true but at the same time u enjoy it.

Depend on what your doing....
I think it's okay, BUT it depends on what your doing! If you out having sex with a lot of different guys then NO it's not "friends with benefits". But if your like making out with a FEW VERY LITTLE different guys then thats okay. My defintion of "friends with benefits" is when a girl will hang out with different guys to check em' out and see like how they are. But not to hoe around.

i think its pretty cool
i think the whole frinds with benifets thing is ok because if your friends and only one person wants to be more then freinds and the other one dosent then i think that it would be okay to be friends and do whatever you want. weather it ranges from hugging,kissing,or even sex if they both agree then its fine. there may be risks but if the two or more people are willing to take them then fine and good for them.

mmmm its ok
iuno? its not bad. depends on what ure doing i guess.. if u going around sleeping wit all ur guy friends or ppl that u rly dont noe and call that "bebfits" then no, that wud b called being a hoe. a lil harmless flirting with ur guy friends, making out etc.. but thats about it

It works out occasionally. I've had a few relationships like that and we managed to stay just friends. Most of them worked out great. I did have one that didn't fair out so well though. He was abusive towards the end. It's something I'd recommend for really strong people who aren't totally ready for a relationship, but it takes just as much communication as any other relationship.

bad idea
I think it is a really bad idea because one of the friends could end up getting hurt or something especially if lets say the girl is doing it because they like the guy and the guy is doing it well... you know I have never had a friend with benefits I just think in the end someone will get hurt because lets say one of the friends want to make it a relationship but the other one doesn't it just sends mixed messages
--Posted by kkaykkay




it screws up ya friendship
--Posted by lilbabycrunk




No Good
I would say its not a good idea. Even if you dont have feelings for the person to begin with...things can change. From experience I know...Im saying you can easily fall for the person when you experience new things with them. Even in the beginning...you have to have some sort of feelings for the person to even think of doing anything with them.I would say its no good.

It isn't as great as it's made out to be, so to speak. I have a guy friend that I've been fooling around with for a while, and while it's great to a certain extent, there are so many downfalls it is hardly worth it. I mean, you've got jealousy (I've dealed with THAT too many times to count), getting too attached to the person, and of course, if you end up fighting like all friends do, it will hurt even more. That is what I have found, anyways. Plus, once the person gets a girlfriend, they may or may not want to continue the "thing." What then? I don't think there is necessarily anything morally wrong with 'friends with benefits,' but there are a lot of issues involved, and heartbreak is all too possible. I don't think I want to end up doing it again.

NO way!
I'm sorry but i am not going to fool around with anyone who dosent love me.
--Posted by tabbz18





VERY UNEXCEPTABLE
no because this can only lead to bad things wether it is horrible names being said about you or if its you being sexually abused it can always make a wrong turn and who wants that??
--Posted by thugbby1991



ummm can you say dis?
well it's a bad idea? why? because. how immoral can you get?!! it's like, you don't even have a relationship with the person & you're all over them. it's not real love & there are the same consequences as if it is. getting pregnant, std's, family problems, emotions!?!!??!? think about it. you're not even friends if you behave like that
--Posted by x_runner4life_x



Nope
I dis this cause i dont want to fool around with no one that just wanna dod this and that with me and not love me.

screw that!
friends with benefits is the worst invention ever. casual dating is one thing, messing around with someone because you don't want a commitment is another thing. i personally think that people should either just suck it up and commit or leave it as a normal friendship....
--Posted by sydneyk




not cool
its not a very good idea someone always gets hurt i have a friend w/ benifits an one of us always gets hurt its jus an all around bad ida
--Posted by xthexlostx1

sex should be with someone u love
i dont think u should have sex with anyone unless u really love them and honestly i think that u should only be with one person thru ur lifetime.
--Posted by im-so-effin-rad007
