Thank You. Well we wouldnt be having sex anyays, because it was a long distance relationship. I mean long! he's in NY im in WA. Yeas i still do love him, but i left him. I didnt argee to the fwb. Besides im looking for a guy that doesnt care much at all for sex, it really frusterates me when a guy wants to talk or something, but he wants something else. Anyays thanks guys n gals!

birdynumnums agony auntFWB is a term that horny guys use to make having sex without a relationship seem like a normal, regular idea. That's easy because guys can have sex without getting pregnant and without getting emotionally involved - in other words - it's just masturbation to them - not a relationship. Women are programmed to become emotionally attached to the guy they sleep with, because nature has programmed them to pair bond in order to raise their babies.

If you fall for this nonsense, I have a great used car that I'd like to sell you...

lovinlife91 agony auntin most cases, he's not that into you, he just wants to be friends and still wants to mess around like you two was when ya still was together. & most of the time it's really hard because there is no love in the "benefriends" deal! just straight lust. if i were you i would stay clear of the whole situation!

ArmyMedic agony auntIt means he doesn't love you, care about your feelings or anything else a guy should feel about his girlfriend. But he thinks that you are a bit "easy" and that you still like him so he can take advantage of you and date other girls at the same time.

Guys who do this to girls are players and want to mess around with you and any other girls they can find.

A reader, anonymous, writes (28 April 2009):

I agree with the other guys - I wouldn't go getting involved with him, because at least right now, all he's interested in is having sex with no emotion attached. Thats not necessarily a good or bad thing, you just have to decide if you're willing to do it. Personally, I wouldnt simply because he is an ex boyfriend, and you may still have some underlying feelings for him. Just don't get caught in a trap where you're sleeping with him cus you love him, but he's sleeping with you cus you'll let him.

I hope it all works out mate :) Good luck.

Griffo agony auntyep, below is true. Friends with benifits are also people (in your case) boys who just want to have you in their little black book. Thats not to say he wont have feelings for you he will when he wants to be with you. It just means there wont be a future with you and him but rather a sexual one. So you are friends just having sex.

I agree also with satindesire. And You don't want to find yourself being labeled something you wont like.

"friends with benefits" is basically sex buddies. in other words he could call you and ask if you wanted to meet up (which would actually mean get together for some casual meaningless sex) and if your reply was yes, then by some kind of slut magic he would appear on your doorstep quicker then you could say "well screw me sideways and call me sandra!"

A female reader, mrs.smith81608 United States +, writes (28 April 2009):

If you're age is correct (between 13-15 years old) neither one of you should be thinking of "FWB." I don't mean to discriminate against your age, but well, your emotions are not stable enough at your age to handle something like that.

I don't reccommend it either. It's not a good decision for a young lady such as yourself to even consider. You are WAY more valuable than that! Find a guy that wants you for you and not for your anatomy!

It doesnt necesarilly mean sex, but stuff like, kissing, touching, making out; but with no strings attached. no feelings or anything like that, it's not a relationship.
