I agree with what some have posted--a pure FB/NSA "relationship" is not for everyone. It's important to note that there is a distinct difference between FB and FWB. The experiences I had with my FB were sexual only. We didn't meet as friends outside of her house, nor did we engage in friendly conversation via email, text, or voice. The only reason we saw each other was for sex, and once the deed was done we parted ways.

I can see where a lot of people (women AND men) may have difficulty with this type of thing. There are definitely possibilities for one or both individuals to develop feelings. BUT, this is where boundaries come in. It's critical to discuss boundaries as they relate to interaction, emotions, and limits. Like all other relationships in life, communication is key.

Like I said before, the FB relationship was exactly what I needed, but not for reasons most might think. My ex-wife had me convinced that I was "broken" in the sex department due to my drive and needs. However, when I got divorced I quickly realized that there was nothing wrong with me or my sex drive. Yes, I have a fairly high drive (especially for someone in his mid-30s), but I was able to explore my own sexuality without fear of rejection or reprisal. In my opinion, having an FB allowed me to redefine my sexual self in a more normal context.

I was able to explore certain fantasies, some mainstream and others not.
I was able to find and define my own limitations.
I was able to learn what I liked and why.
I was able to do all of this in a safe, legal manner.

To each his/her own, but if your situation is at all like mine was (and you have the ability to communicate), I say go for it. You might be surprised what you can get out of it from an introspective side of things.

Men and women are not affected the same by casual sex. Females have a much harder time due to emotional attachment that comes with sleeping with different men. That is were a lot of the baggage comes from. I would encourage you not to go out and give your body away to any old Joe Shmoe.

Be patient and continue looking for a man that will give you what you need emotionally, physically, and mentally.

No I don't think I would. I will sleep with a woman with no strings attached. I don't get emotional when having sex. It's just a physical act.
