I would only have sex with someone I was in an exclusive relationship with...and I'd expect to be friends with the person I was in an exclusive relationship with.

Being friends with benefits in college I think is much different than being friends with benefits as an adult. What are your thoughts on this?
I agree. FWB relationships are common in college because people have neither the time nor the energy (and perhaps the desire) for a meaningful relationship. But as adults, it's not always going to be the case that both people are too busy to have a relationship. Sooner or later, one person may want something more serious, either with the other person or with someone else. In college, I tried this but as an adult, I wouldn't. It just has the potential to get way too messy.
I maintained a friendship w/ two different guys I had slept w/ in my 20's. When I met my ex, we all still hung out together as friends only. One of them married and one still enjoyed being a bachelor. I was extremely close him as we could really get into deep conversations. I knew he wasn't the marrying type, but I loved being his friend. When my ex and I divorced 15 yrs later, I started sleeping w/ my bachelor friend again and the sex was better than it had been years ago. Did I ever want more of our relationship? Yes and no. We both really loved eachother as friends, but I knew he'd never settle down and I wanted more. When I met my now dh, we all went out together on a double date. Dh and I have since moved away, but I will always hold dear my friend. I would never sleep w/ him, being I'm married but he'll always be my friend.

I second that motion.
