Appropriately named Stupid Headline of the Day - The Proper Way To Be Friends With Benefits

The Proper Way To Be Friends With Benefits, as described in this article, is not being friends. It's purely a meeting to fornicate. If two people have a relationship so empty and shallow they don't know of each others friends, family members, life goals, shared leisure activities, and are not to mention future plans as much as the next day, it ignores that most people have emotions and emotional needs, that sex brings up emotions beyond physical relief. If two people meet and agree to a one night stand, that's fine, but its not friends. Friends implies ongoing and emotional attachment with communication and reciprocation and intimacy. "Friends" in the term Friends With Benefits implies something ongoing that will include emotions, unless one person is a narcissist lacking empathy for the other, and then someone is bound to be left feeling hurt. The facts are, FWBs seldom works long before one person wants more than sex only. Then one or both people are highly likely to get hurt and the relationship ends. Friends With Benefits "is a relationship", admit it or not. No Strings Attached FWB is seldom possible, there are always strings attached. Remember, Sex with a male or female prostitute or with NSA, for fee or free, is not being friends. Be real.
