or one of them is dating somebody who finds out they are fuckign someone else while they are dating them?
was anyone ever in a relationship like this? It doesn't sound healthy to me, but that's just me. i'd rather have a good woman instead, but then again - that's just me.

I've done it *grins* And it's turned out very well, I must say.
Diadem, it really depends on the people. I've had two "friends with priveledges." One was a married woman, one not.
More specifically though, with the married woman, the sex was every once in awhile. Her husband and her had a very open relationship, and neither cared if the other slept around. They've always had a happy marriage. They moved a couple states away a couple years back, and I haven't seen them since then.
With the other, was more dependent on the situation. If she was dating, didn't happen. If I was dating, didn't happen. We basically only had sex in a "we're horny and have nobody to go to" situation. It was better than having a one night stand, as we trusted each other and there was no chance of STDs. We stopped when she met her current boyfriend, who she's now engaged to.
In both situations it stopped whenever I started dating someone. I've never cheated on anyone, nor do I plan to. That answer any questions Diadem?

Dude, who needs raw passion. I mean, yeah, it helps, but I could fuck a cantaloupe as long as you left it on the counter for a couple minutes to take the chill off.

Perhaps I should rethink this.
That having been said, I can see where such a relationship could work for others. I don't think any form of cheating is okay (IE if I were married, then neither my wife nor I would have "friends with benefits" if my wife and I wanted to stay married), but in certain circumstances it could work.
Take, for instance, the example of my Uncle Roger. Roger is a great guy; he's intelligent, funny, friendly, handsome, and generally a blast to be around. In his lifetime, he's been married several times and has at least two kids (by different mothers). It's been said to me by folks who know him well that Roger might be a great guy to date and and even better friend, but he's not the marrying sort. At the same time, Roger apparently likes frequent, regular sex. Prior to his last marriage, he'd been seeing a woman for regular, monogamous sex. No strings attached, just two good friends who boinked one another regularly. When he got involved with his most recent wife, he and the "friend with benefits" stopped seeing each other. Roger got married, and subsequently, got divorced. He and his "Friend" started up again. She decided she wanted to have another child, but didn't want to have the hassle of getting married (she'd been married once, apparently, and it didn't work out). So Roger is going to be a Dad again. And I think of all his relationships, this one might be one he can live with. And rather than get married knowing that he's not the marrying sort, I think this is a valid alternative.

But yea, back then, I got too attached. And when she started seeing other people and talking about them to me, I got rather jealous I must say But anyway, after a good while we stopped talking.
Then just a couple of months ago, she came back. She's changed a bit more matured. We started out with the whole friends with benifits thing, and now we're a couple with the "I love yous" and whatnot. It's still not working as well as it could, but that's for other reasons.
I honestly would like to keep myself away from friends with benifits sort of situations, but I have no real will power.

Someone Else obviously shouldn't have said:

Yes, yes I do. *returns to burning out her eyes*

As long as both people know from the beginning where the relationship stands, and each understands what the other wants, and MOST IMPORTANTLY keep good communication, then it's all good.

This insanity brought to you by Lyinar Ka`Bael:
I wouldn't do it, but that's because of my views on sex. I share that with someone I deeply care for, and am in a romantic relationship with. But that's me.I think it's perfectly fine to have a friends with benefits setup if both parties understand and accept the setup. I think where people run into problems with this sort of thing is that they don't recognize the fact that they can't be part of something like that and not get attached. Or they already care romantically for that person and that person only sees them in friendship.
But if there is mutual understanding and acceptance, I think it could be a perfectly civil agreement, and mutually beneficial.
wow for once I agree with her somewhat
Why do people always post things like "Finally I agree with Lyinar!" "Whoa, call the police, me and Parce agree!" "Azrael and me agreeing? THE FUCK?!" etc etc.
I dont know why that annoys me.
