Friends With Benefits? (sin, sex)

[Sunstone]

"Friends with benefits" refers to friends that one sometimes has sex with, but with which one is not in a pair bond.

Do you think that this is a good practice?

Is it beneficial to both partners?

Is there a downside to it?

An upside?

Do you think that this is a good practice?

I don't think it is good or bad...I think it happens quite often.

Is it beneficial to both partners

?
I guess that would depend on the situation...and both people's feelings, one may be in it for more than the other.

Is there a downside to it

I would think to many times one ends up with more emotional feelings than the other.

An upside?

If both parties do not wish to be a couple...but seek eachothers company and have a mutal respect and friendship then it can be a good thing.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it if that's what one chooses.

Again I say I don't feel the sin is in the sex act, between concenting partners, the " wrong" is in how those people handle the resposibility that comes with sex. and that includes the emotional pain/ stress that comes if that makes sense

I only wish I could have had such a thing in my life.

Kind of describes my relationship with the government vis-a-vis family allowance/income tax.

I have friends in that sort of situation. I see no problem with it, but I'm satisfied with my current situation. Whatever works for the people I guess.
