Have you ever had a Fu*k buddy?

Nope.

Mr. Hand

;)

No. That actually grosses me out, to a great extent.
I won’t date or consider anyone who has had more partners than me (3).
Yeah, there are liars. But those are weeded out long before they’re ever considered.

Yeah, I did first semester freshman year of college. It bit me in the ass and I’m still limping.

Yes, I have had a few. It has been good and bad, depending. It’s good when both parties are actually aware of the fact that it is a purely physical relationship (although being friends can be okay as well), as well as understanding and accepting that fact. If you bring emotions into it, it isn’t going to work, because one party will be more invested than the other and attachment will occur. It’s been great when we are only interested in fulfilling mutual desire without any strings attached.

@chelseababyy What happens if the perfect guy has a not so perfect past (like 4 partners, heaven forbid)

@pigpen Not sure. Two of the guys I’ve had sex with were virgins. The other, is who I’m with now. My current SO, is not an exception, and I foresee us being together for a long while. So nothing to worry about, for now.

Yup. I’ll never forget the sound of her name. It was like angels singing. Ah, Rosie.

If both parties are aware of the “buddy-hood”, and the physical attraction is right, and both stick to the no-drama policy it’s a thing of beauty. Aaah, Janice, how beautiful that time was.

What is the difference between that, and “friends with benefits”? is there one? I’ve always wondered.

@mrswho: I’ve always assumed a friend with benefit is someone who was a friend, then there is physical attraction that is acted upon, but no relationship, whereas a fuck buddy is a person that you call JUST for sex, with no friendship or relationship attachment. But that’s just me.

@TitsMcGhee you sound like an expert, so I hope you dont meet someone like chelseababyy

.. um?

I don’t see anything wrong with it, as long as the boundaries are perfectly clear from the outset. That said, it is easy for one or the other party to begin to feel differently later on, and if that happens drama will ensue.

@pigpen: If I do and they judge me for decisions I made in the past before I knew them, then I don’t want to be with them anyway. My decisions are my own.

Nyet. Full-fledged relationships, me. And I know me. So not wired for the FB wavelength.

I have the opportunity to have a fuck buddy, but I’m not sure about her plans for relationships. If there were none, I’d be cool with that, but she is not the smartest person I know, and I would just want to be sharing mutual pleasures in a physical way, not emotionally or romantically, because, to be honest, I wouldn’t want to show her off to my friends.

@chelseababyy: I tend to attract man-whores and it is a little bit intimidating. My current boyfriend had 7 before me but he says I’m the best.

But he has to say that cuz he’s my boyfriend. :P

I’ll tell you what’s more fun than a fu*k buddy: a fuck buddy!

@KatawaGrey: If 7 constitutes “whore” status…. well… SHIT.

@TitsMcGhee: It’s not really, just intimidating for me cuz he’s my ahem third so I feel a little inexperienced.

@KatawaGrey The number of sex partners doesn’t necessarily equal experience…my last boyfriend had more than double the number of partners I had, but technically I had more experience, because while I only had 4 partners (including him), they were all pretty long relationships whereas his didn’t last more than a few months (or in some cases a few weeks) so I had had sex WAY more times than he had, and therefore I had more “experience.”

@AstroChuck That just looks wrong next to your avatar… dirty little boy!

@KatawaGrey Hahaha, I hear you. Dude, I feel intimidated, and I’m HIS third.

@augustlan- So give me some fucking time out.

No, but I’ve had a ” your fucked buddy ”.

Yeah, back when I was young and wild instead of old and stupid. Funny, alcohol was usually involved…

No. I tend to take things over-seriously. If ever I hired a hooker, I would try to turn it into a meaningful encounter.

Yeah, and no problems resulted. It was fun.

Back in the day, I think I had a few of what would now be called FWBs, but I don’t think I ever had a pure FB. I’m not even sure how that could happen. You just fuck, but not a single feeling about them at all? How do you even know them? It sounds like anonymous fucking at one of those sex clubs. You don’t know them, or even care, as long as they have the right parts.

I have had fuckbuddies. I think the difference between FBs and FWBs is what the emphasis is on—if it’s on sex, and you like each other outside that enough to have a beer together, you’re fuckbuddies. If it’s on the friendship, and every now and then you get naked together, you’re friends with benefits. I’m not sure it’s a clear line.

My take on the whole thing is, when I’m involved with someone, the only important thing is that neither one of us is sleeping around. It really doesn’t matter to me whether someone has had 3 former sex partners or 30—I see no reason to be intimidated.

(And yes, answering the original question: I have had a fuck buddy in the past.)

Do inflatable FBs count?

No, and no. It’s just as bad.

What if I clean it after each use?

As long as it’s a farm animal. Then it’s ok.

@AstroChuck: Please do not refer to an inflatable FB as “it.” That hurts our feelings.

I’m deeply sorry.

@girlofscience: “Our?” “Our?” It does say “girl of science,” doesn’t it? Not ”girls of science?”

@daloon: For the longest time I thought it did say girls of science so I did think she was a them.

I was speaking on behalf of the collective group of inflatable FBs.

Hmmph. Since when did someone die and make you FB spokesgirl?

I had one on and off for 10 years

Well of course it’s “on and off”.
