FWB with F**k-buddies.

This is just the way I've come to see it- I think f-buddies are people you get together with just for f***ing and no other reason, whereas friends with benefits are people you are friends with, but just happen to f**k as well. A way I tell the difference is, interaction with your f.w.b. is pretty static. If one of you developed a monogamous relationship, or simply stopped fu**ing, you would continue to hang out with the person who was your friend with benefits, keep your clothes on, and interact with normally as you do with any other friend, with the opposite being true for f-buddies- sleeping with them is the sole purpose of knowing them, so if one of you becomes monogamous with someone else, or you simply stopped f-ing, you'd never see one another. You'd just make them disappear- *poof!*- in front of your very eyes, up in a little puff of smoke that smelled of latex condoms and icky fruit-flavored lube and buttsweat. ;-)

I am glad the days of both are over for me. I am still single, but I am no longer interested in doing it for its own sake. It seems lacking, because I can't be as freaky as I want to be unless I am in a completely trusting and long-term relationship with the person. Above the kind of trust and love that comes with friendship. Friends with benefits just make me question why the friendship hasn't evolved to a relationship if the sex is so great and we get along well enough to be friends.

Lordisa, I can't wait to be out of my 20s.
