Thu, September 6, 2007 - 4:37 PMI think that if you plan to keep something purely sexual in nature, you have to communicate that pretty plainly, so the other person can make a decision as to whether that works for them or not. And I think that purely "Friends-with-Benefiots" situations can only last a certain time before one person or another wants more. Perhaps setting a bit of a time limit on it will help "keep it real."
I think that if it goes for more than 2 months........it;s going to get hairy because you naturally start to build some expectations....
just my two cents... -

Sat, September 8, 2007 - 2:36 PMMy EX gave me some tips on this, basicley you want to limit how much you see each other throughout the week, Once maybe no more than twice a week helps limit the attachment issues. Also having your own life and focusing on building attachment free relationships helps this proccess, and communicating when problems come up is a great way to stay in touch with it. -

Mon, September 10, 2007 - 1:33 PMYou're talking about "fuck buddies". I have lots of favorite fuck buddies that I only get together with to have sex. There is something comforting about the relationship one has with someone who you have nothing in common with except sex.

Thu, September 6, 2007 - 7:23 PMThe Craw is right. Good communication at all times could save a lot of headache later on down the road. Remember, communication goes both ways, so listen to what is being communicated to you.
