Friends With Benefits... Ever Had One? What Are The Pros And Cons? by incognito1(m): 3:38am On Feb 28, 2016
Often times,I've heard people talk about this type of relationship and I've always wondered what if feels like. When they say it's with benefits,does it mean the other party gets paid by the initiator of the relationship? If so,isn't that a posh way of prostitution? What's the difference between that and an open relationship where both parties are allowed to have sex with other people? I know it's a kind of relationship people who aren't ready for a serious commitment,get involved in. Do people involved in this type of relationship pay attention to the looks of their would-be partners? I'd personally love to be in such a relationship but would prefer my partner having sex just with me. A situation where your partner is having multiple sex partners isn't cool,and it's a risky venture. You stand the risk of being infected with HIV...

Before I join the train,I'd like to hear from those involved in it,or haVE been involved in it before,for what's it's like,and for what to Expec t in a friends with benefit relationship.

FWB is a very cool stuff for single people who do not want to get involved in the stress of serious relationships. It has it's perks,but most of the time it's fun.

You both have to set your terms. But the most important thing is that there will have to be no boundary crossing and no emotions attached.

Any involvement of these two will result in a breach of contract.

You can't be in a FWB and expect to be the only guy she will be fúcking. Just simply make it a relationship bro.

Just like the poster above me has rightly said, you can't have her tied to you when what you guys are having is a mere FWB.
And from my own view, the FWB I've experienced, there was no terms defined. Infact it all started with the lady. I never made any approach, she has her bf which I much know.
Now the pro is that, it makes you feel smart and lucky, infact in FWB no stress of spending or begging. You all what you'r into whenever you meet.
Now the con is that, wahala go dey if you're eventually discovered by the bf or pregnancy, or just like you said Hiv.

In my case, she thought she was my girlfriend..Bt as far as I was concerned, she was just a friend. By the time she realized what was going on, I had already had my fill.
Pros: You can try anything sexual with her. She won't mind.
Cons: She may start "catching feelings"

That catching feelings has always been my fear, all the girls I have tried that ends up catching feelings and acting jealous whenever they caught me with another girl but the funny thing is that they all have boyfriends but cant stand seeing me with other girls. I still prefer it to serious relationship sha

@ all: thanks. I'd go for it cos I'm not sure I'm ready for a serious relationship yet and of course,I can't allow my gun develope frogs from its tadpoles...lol. So,do you guys consider looks when picking one? Personally,I can't sex someone who doesn't look attractive a bit. It's a huge turnoff. As regards STD/STI,I think we can minimize that with the use of condoms.
