Purely physical relationship?

[dok1218]

Ok so a couple of days ago my ex girlfriend suggested that we have a purely physical relationship so just sex seeing as we are both pretty sick of the emotional part of the relationships we have been in. s this a good idea?

For the time being it'll be fine until one of you get into another relationship and the other gets jealous/upset or simply moves on. It'd be best to just do that, but that's from experience :P

Yep agree with AresnicCatNip - if its based on an honest understanding this sort of thing can work. The only risk is that one of you (re)develops feelings that aren't returned.

Just make sure you guys stay safe and don't let it infringe on either of you finding someone else. Otherwise, if it's what you both want, I say go for it.

It can lead to a lot of mixed feelings and can cause more emotional pain once you decide to stop or if you guys have a fall out over the physical side of the relationship. Chances are even if you intend it to be just "sex" chances are you might develop feelings for her again or she you. So just stay safe and stay wise because you don't want to end up worse off than before you started.

Definitely set down rules. I've watched my friends crash and burn in these types of things because they had no boundaries.

I do not think it is right. What is the point of being in a relationship without have actual emotional feelings for them and caring for them. Otherwise you all are just using your bodies for sex. Which isn't really a good idea.

Normally I wouldn't see a problem with it, but be careful with exes. It's fairly likely that if you ended on good enough terms to go to fwb, there might still be feelings there that could get brought up with sex. If you think you can both handle it, and that the feelings are completely dead, go for it.

Great idea, but it won't last. Just understand that.

[redtukr]

so your saying you two become fuck buddies thats a physical relationship

[fallenLethal]

Sure, why not.

The only problem I see with it is arguments and misunderstandings. So, do, like many other people said, and set down some rules.
