This isn't a relationship you want to be in. How is he calling the other female his "girlfriend" and "it's just sex" in the same sentence. He would probably say the same about you.

Get away from him --- he's not worth your time!

I have a friend, I've known her for years. It's just sex. She comes over, we have sex, she leaves. We attend the same functions as we are in the same circle of friends, we talk, but we don't do things alone...except sex. But I don't call her girlfriend. She's a friends with benefits. I'm not convinced this guy you are telling us about is in the same type situation. I'd never call my friend "girlfriend".

That's his way of telling you he'd like to have sex with you too, if you like cheaters.

Maybe it is just sex for him. If his gf is fine with them having sex without an emotional attachment then it works for them. Who am I to question someone's morals or sexual health?

If you are considering a relationship with this guy then you can question all of the above otherwise, it's really not your place to worry about it.

It's not a "men" issue, it's a responsibility issue and it applies to both men and women. Until you are in a committed, monogamous relationship, it's upon you to protect your sexual health. Even then, it's not 100% guaranteed.

So the two of you are looking for different things, what's the problem? Nothing wrong with he and this woman having a purely sexual relationship. If that's not for you, then find someone else. Why let it bother you?

So he views sex differently than you. Since you arent having sex with him, how is it any of your business?

I agree w/ many others... move along... sounds like he is a "player" and if you don't want to be part of the team/ fan club then you need to find another relationship. Unless you are into just sex yourself, seems like this will not be anything but sex... I've been in a simular situation but mine was 6 months of correspondence first with many promises... which all were lies and manipulation.. at least this guy was honest and up front with what he expects... not that it is would be my expectations but he was upfront and honest.... good luck

At least the guy's being honest. I love that about men, then you know when to move along.

It is very difficult to view sex as "serious" when one wears a red nose, checkered suit and big floppy shoes while engaging in it.
