Teacake agony auntThe only way you can enjoy FWB is if you don't have feelings for him. Otherwise you will cry yourself to sleep every night.

emporessmystique is right about pleasure / pain. I've been involved in that for 5 years now and its been the worst emotional pain you can ever imagine. He will always have the power in the relationship. It will always be by his rules, when its convenient for him, and will often turn emotionally abusive. If you think you love him or might love him, its best to not start something you can not handle.

You might think its possible he would love you in time, but that rarely happens. Men like this are out for themselves and don't care about your feelings, which will be stepped on for as long as you go along with it.

Perhaps if you turn him down he might want to peruse you. I wish I had said no to the sex and see if he had continued to chase me until perhaps he did develop feelings for me but that is way too late because I accepted his terms and have regretted it ever since.

Depends what you want! If you can handle sleeping with a guy where you have no say over what else he does great! I've been there, if you fall for the guy or get emotiionally attached chances are you're gonna get hurt! You've said you have no relationship experience, if you do the FWB thing you're not going to! Your older friends may have been hurt before in proper relationships, and FWB can be safer.
