4 types of casual sexual relationships and the risks they entail

“No man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to haveCan men and women be friends? Can casual sex be part of profound friendship? How similar is “friendship with sex” to romantic love?“I have had sex with my lover a few times at a hotel; it means nothing to me. It’s like drinking water and not being quenched. My body is connected with him, but my soul is not. I implied to him that I’d rather be a f*ck buddy, rather than more.

As in love, FWB involves significant concern not only for yourself, but also for your friend. However, it lacks the profound commitment of a long-term partner whom the lover deeply cares about and consistently engages in various sorts of activities with. Having both friendship and sex together, while dropping commitment and most types of the sharing, is different from profound romantic love; nevertheless, it is usually a pleasurable and exciting relationship.

Given the restless nature of our world, the relatively brief duration of FWB is also of value. Moreover, unlike marriage, FWB does not prevent its participants from looking around and finding another, more fulfilling relationship."I've experienced FWB and found it quite enjoyable... and I WAS looking for sex more than friendship. Eventually, I found that the ‘benefits’ were much more enjoyable when there was friendship involved, due to a higher level of trust.

“I'm in a FWB situation and we are ACTUALLY friends. We talk, do lunch, hang out... and just happen to have sex sometimes.” “I had one FWB situation. I caught feelings early on. He didn't. I was tortured for years until I cut him off.”
