A male reader, anonymous, writes (22 March 2012):

FWB can work... but it has to start that way. You cannot have a platonic friendship and segue into FWB. It never ends well if you do.

Nothing fucks a good friendship up like fucking.

You don't have sex with your friends. That's what dating, and if you are a moron, one night stands are for.

How can you look at a friend normally again once you know what they look like when they orgasm, sound like? Taste like. What they are like in bed? How can you stop that from becoming a relationship of sorts? How do you NOT let emotion into that? Emotion is ALREADY there because friendship is built on it.

I think it will probably hurt the friendship or make things weird between you. Even if you don't develop romantic feelings, other kinds of feelings can creep in such as insecurity.

I think it can sometimes work, but only if she's the type of girl who can have casual sex without getting attached. If she isn't the type who can do it with guys she doesn't know so well, then don't expect her to be able to handle it with you.

eek agony aunti managed it with a female friend for years until she got a bf so yes it can be done as long as you both set the boundaries before you start anything.

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntYou and she can choose to start a "FWB" arrangement.... but... be forewarned that those (FWB) commonly fall apart because/when one of the participants wants/expects more than the other....

Which one will you be?????

Good luck....
