I answered "no" but believe we need a "maybe" to answer as well. Sounds like to me that your FWB had actually to some degree fallen in love with you. If the feeling is not mutual then the answer in "no". If the feeling is mutual then by all means the answer is "yes". I'm glad you're still able to be friends.
You’re right I believe we do both love each other. That’s what makes this so hard. I don’t know if we loved each other as friends and we’re just enjoying the sex or if the sex made us love each other.
@Steffan105 is is possible to love someone without actual being "in love". It's like you love your family and friends but you haven't fallen "in love" with them.
@JohnnyBBad23 Thats exactly what this is. We love each other as friends and probably could be in live, but its a risk. Don’t know if I should risk the friendship.
Me too, oral sex is one of my favorite things.
Giving or receiving?
@camormeet Both, depending on the partner.
I would love to have a friend with benefits!
I f you are already in a relationship with someone else then I think the answer is no. However, if you are not, then maybe the answer is yes. The best relationships start with friendship and genuinely caring about the other person.
We really do care about each other. That’s why I wanted to remain friends. Things get messy and relationships and I didn’t want to complicate our friendship anymore than we already already had.
I can’t answer your poll simply because it feels like more is needed to make an informed choice. Was there a specific reason that made you feel like the friendship would be damaged, or was a gut feeling? For me personally, sex is probably the least important aspect of a relationship but I know many people find it’s a large part.
I think it is more of a gut feeling. I know that sex is very important to both of us and we agreed that people who are dating should be connected and more than just sexual ways. Our relationship extends far beyond the sex. I just felt like at the time having an open actual relationship with each other would open us to the scrutiny that we put on our partners, That we never put on each other as friends
@Steffan105 gotcha. It’s always good to follow your gut. Any hesitation is definitely a sign and if you both feel a stronger bond as friends than lovers then it’s the right choice.
@MrWrong4RghtNow That was my thought. But, since I’m lonely now I really miss the sex😞
I had a one night stand with a friend once. We are still friends even though life has carried us in different directions.
If you had the opportunity, would you have sex again?
@Steffan105 right now, most likely, I’m not going to lie about it, when my dick is aching I would do anyone willing!
@Bigwilly3392c 😅 I know that feeling!
Over the many years of my sexual activity I had 3 fwb. It is a pretty amazing thing, however it is often with its hurdles. One of mine became a relationship based on the sex. Not the best idea, we split and so the sex stoped. Another ended as she got frustrated with our availability not being to her schedule! I suppose I was the fwb in some respect as I was single and she was in a relationship, saying that though I often called her for the hookup. The third, who knows, I moved and the distance was too great to continue.
Wow, thats what I was afraid of. I wanted to remain friends.
