'Just Friends' don't look at eachother like that...

I can personally testify that several concurrent FWB arrangements can indeed be fulfilling and emotionally satisfing 🙂

A conundrum I have a relationship of wife fiend without benefits and have had a fab relationship run at same time .I just end in an emotional mess and that's no help to others involved . So now looking just for the benefits not friendship 

I agree that - strictly speaking - there is actually no such thing as "no strings sex" because sex creates strings (and expectations) between people (except perhaps when it is totally mindless and random, such as that occurring at dogging locations, sex clubs, etc.). The "trick" (if you like) is to be adept at knowing how tightly those strings ought to bind, and for that you need to find the right partners. In turn, in order to do that, you need to do some fairly extensive homework before meeting; it usually becomes obvious after a little while whether a prospective FWB candidate has the right stuff, mentally. The reason I am on this site is that it is not for lonely hearts or for finding Ms Right. I'm a realist in that respect.

"Passion" is indeed a wonderful thing, but again it encompasses a range of intensity. I would say that the passion one feels for a partner in early life, when man and woman still have romantic ideals and are at the "nest building" stage, is probably the most intense life can bestow. Later, perhaps after having become a parent and developed a degree of world-weariness, one develops a slightly more cynical view of "passion". At this point in my life, do I want to completely lose my head over someone and turn my world upside down for them? The answer is no, and I would venture to suggest that a large majority of site members would feel the same way. While acknowledging that lightning can still strike, even in late middle age (haha....), I think it's a tad delusional for anyone here who is - say - 45+ to harbour dreams of "youthful" passion. In fact I would say it's a sign of emotional immaturity.

Over the last decade, I've been fortunate in meeting a number of women for whom a FWB relationship was the only viable option for them. We did not see each other particularly often or regularly, but we respected each others' schedules and private life. The longest of these relationships is now more that 7 years old, and is still viable and healthy. In each case, time is shared outside the bedroom as well as in it, and as time has passed we have developed a lot of mutual affection and respect. Whether or not that amounts to "passion" as defined by domaxpash is a moot point, but it works for us and I feel that nothing is diminished.

The problem with human relationships is that a huge number of people see them in terms of "black or white" or "all or nothing". This mindest can be very destructive, and as we all know, it extends to politics and religion too. Experience has taught me that giving oneself - or one's partner - a bit of mental slack and personal leeway can offer great rewards. It's possible to have great sex with a FWB arrangement because both sides know those moments are fleeting and they are never taken for granted. In Japan there is a saying: "ichigo-ichie", which means roughly "treasure the moment for it will never return", or "do your best for someone in the time you have together". I think that in middle age, as I am, this philosophy is far more relevant than "lose your head over someone and to hell with the consequences".

FWB well have met few nice ladies and i totally agree with skebbie ive met few nice woman who just want fun and frendship but only meet once a month or week with some and it is worth every second of it 🙂

I used to nail my ex and found the sex was better after we split up
