 I don't think FWBs are a wise idea to begin with. Women often associate love with sex, this isn't the case in FWBs there's absolutely no feeling involved. That's why they say no strings attached. Emotionally, most women can't handle friends with benefits they usually develop feelings for their sexual partner when he doesn't reciprocate those feelings. Again we associate sex with feelings, often love. Don't get into a FWBs, you'll end up getting hurt emotionally and you'll be worse off than before. I recommend staying single and grieving in your own way which involves a box of tissues, sappy love movies, a spoon, and a gallon of your favorite ice cream.

 you know...when people talk abt 'friends with benefits'....usually someone ends up getting hurt...i really don't think its a good idea to indulge in sex just to get over someone..
Infact it may make things worse...coz you'll be entering a physical rel'ship without any feelings...

If you think that the casualness of it might upset you in the long run, be wary.

This ins't a good plan. At this time, you should be getting over this guy. Going to another guy for sex won't work. As the post below says, you'll probably wind up falling for your FWB and end up hurt again.
Spend time getting over your ex, and go and find a guy who will commit to you. Don't think that meaningless sex will make it all better.
