I understand you questioning here. It does seem to me that friends w/ benefits would be strange. Seeing your best friend w/ no clothes on is weird. (I would think) Seeing intimate parts of your friend, yikes, I just don't know about that.

It would be my prefrence to have sex w/ someone who I had a connection to. I used to have good male friends and I think putting sex into the mix would take away from that friendship. The openness shared between male and female is understanding because you do not let sexual emotions get in the way. If you throw sex into that mix, then you just have lack of honesty and openness in conversation because it will equal more (or less) sex. The humans relating to one another is gone because it becomes a game of pay off for the correct answer and buying of understanding w/ sex.

I don't know if that makes since to anyone. Not having friends w/ benefits is the only way to have true friendship w/ the opposite sex to me. I guess I'm just an old foggie huh.

I don't wish to offend anyone here. That is just my opinion. Like my H says opinions are like butts we all have um, and some are better then others.
