Is there anything, and I do mean "ANYTHING" wrong with a person of either gender seeking ONLY a relationship based strictly on the two of them just being "Friends with Benefits", meaning that they have sex with each other but not wanting to get married or anything like that?

hi there,


I just wanted to chime in


I agree there's nothing wrong with it...as long as you can BOTH stay detached.. I did this once a while back it turned into a nightmare because he ended up falling inlove with me and i couldn't say the same so i had to watch his heart break and he still chases me!!... And in the beginning we agreed we'd just be friends..but befor i knew it he wanted to be more then friends..So my advice is to becarful and if you don't want it to become more then FWB then make sure yalll stay on the same page..

As most of the others have said, No, there is nothing wrong with a genuine FWB relationship. Of course plenty of things CAN go wrong, and DO go wrong, and it can be a real minefield. But if both people are getting exactly what they truly want and are not hurting anyone in the process, then sure, why not?
