to put it crudely, he got him some and now he wants some more.

This is not rocket science honey.

If you want to be some guys regular receptacle, that's your choice - wouldn't appeal to me though.

Um, just a guess, but...probably because he wants to get laid with higher frequency?

You may have rocked his world (even if he didn't rock yours) and he's hooked now. Your best bet is to be honest and up front with him (be gentle...we males have egos made of glass) and let him know exactly what your expectations are. If he can't accept that then it's his problem, not yours.

Best of luck...

I don't think the "friends" part of FWB is possible. It's a nice fantasy.

The benefits are best if there is no emotional connection; no pleading; no booty calls; no spontaneity, just physical gratification and/or silent emotional gratification. Silent.

Rather, you plan your meetings ahead...dispassionately, in an orderly manner, or in some other way so you at least mutually agree upon the rules for future contact.

Well, clearly he wants more benefits! Not sure why this is so hard to get.

So now you need to communicate very clearly with him about what you want out of this arrangement and find out what he wants. If you are truly friends, you will be kind to him about negotiating this. If you can't maybe you weren't friends after all....

This is honestly true with some men.

I learned this the hard way:

Friends with benefits vs buddy.

Big damned difference.

He's a friend with benefits, not a booty call. If you just want an oomph-buddy tell him that.
