Yes, I had a friend with benefits for about 2 years. It was a horrible idea, because I eventually developed feelings for him, and he did not for me, and instead developed feelings for other women.
see that is what i would think too for most of these types of relationships

I did too, and I will never do that again. No doubt, he also KNEW I had feelings for him and he took advantage of that. Started treating me like dirt, and now we no longer speak. Its not a wise idea especially when feelings are involved.
i agree!

Seems like trouble. Things usually don't end up just right.

No, never considered that kind of relationship.

I'm kind of inbetween wanting one and not wanting one? I'd want a FWB to play with a dom, but outside of that it's not really my interest.

i had one for two years, the same guy! he was in a relationship with another girl, but we ended up falling in love, and i ended up leaving because i was scared of the commitment and i hurt him pretty bad! someone normally gets hurt in these situations.

Wow, that's absolutely uncool of them. What's there to hold against, who's the pot and who's the kettle? I spent nearly 10 years with a one night stand and I know that if he had ever at any point over the last decade tried to hold against me what he had an equal part in, I would have walked out right then. I'm kind of hard-core objective like that, lol.

FWB vs. fuck buddies - I'm for the latter. I couldn't justify complicating my platonic relationships. Fuck buddies, sometimes it gets complicated, I've had to set a few of them slap-in-the-face straight that I don't really want to see them outside the bedroom. The one time I developed real feelings for a strictly sexual partner, I kept it to myself since they were my feelings, not his. The whole thing ended naturally, no harm done.

Basically, Yes The good times far outweigh the bad!

I don't want one. The guy friends I have are like cousins to me (annoying and childish)and that would just be weird.

It's been a "thing of the past" with us for two years and we can still hang out, cook out, even have or partners other and just chill without any issues. Just gotta be an adult about it! After all...it's just sex!

No, but I think it would be fun although I'd be afraid of getting attached

Yeah, I prefer the term Fuck Buddy too. I've had one woman and one man as fuck buddies at different times, and they both worked out pretty well.

For a little while - we were FWB because we didn't know each other well, though, it progressed into a more committed relationship pretty quickly.

Nope, I get too emotionally attached after sex to have a friend with benefits. I have friends I can be affectionate with in platonic ways and stick to my toys until a relationship I'm comfortable with the terms of comes along.
