Fuck Buddies

Fuck Buddies, Fuck buddies are a form of sexual relationship that does not include a romantic or emotional component.

Possible Benefits

  • Not having to engage in courtship rituals can save both parties money.
  • Both partners (should) understand that the relationship revolves around nothing more than sexual gratification.

Possible Drawbacks

  • For some, the emotional and/or romantic elements of a relationship are an integral part of sex, and the fuck buddy relationship may not be fulfilling.
  • The lack of emotional component can sometimes translate into a lack of care for the other person’s pleasure or a lack of respect for the other person.
  • The lack of romantic or emotional component can make it difficult to prioritize a fuck buddy, making consistency difficult.

Managing A Fuck Buddy Relationship

  • Understand that even if intentions have been made clear, emotions may eventually surface.
  • If unreciprocated emotions surface, discuss whether those feelings can fit into the agreed upon arrangement.
  • Know that a discussion of emotions could result in the end of the arrangement.
