Do you think it's OK to have sex with just a friend?

[Reality]

Not a boyfriend/girlfriend, but a friend. Whether it's a FWB (friend with benefits) or a best buddy, do you think it's okay to have sex with them?

Personally, yes. A friend of mine who's a girl lost her virginity to a close guy friend a few months ago, she enjoyed it, and she doesn't regret it.

Some people think you should only have sex with "people you love" often meaning boyfriend/girlfriend or even only husband/wife, but I disagree.

Hmm, if it isn't a drunken (or sober) fling, just to do it, then it sounds OK in my book. You can still be friends and do this, as long as you aren't dating anyone while you do it.

I see it as, yes or no depending on the situation and the background of two people. I think its fine as long as the two people do realize possible consequences and know if they are clean or not

i think it's ok as long as they're not dating anyone, and if they still keep respect betwwen them.. it's perfect then..

It's okay in my book. But for things like this, it has to be VERY clear the intention of both parties, the lack of PREVIOUS communication can result in the termination of that friendship, something i would NEVER risk.

Because if i'm having sex with a friend, i'd have to know that person really well, i would not risk my friendship with them to have casual sex.

Then there is emotional ties, for girls, and SPECIALLY for virgin girls, having sex with someone can be very unifying, and emotional ties can grow causing problem with the "Deal".

I wouldn't know for boys, as I'm not one, but I bet is just the same for them.

It has its consequences. The question is can you deal with it?

[JackOfClubs]

I guess it could be ok. As long as it doesn't hurt their relationship, I see no problem with it....

[Truth]

Sex, is sex. I think it's okay, haha.

[changed]

yup ive done it , hasnt effected anything with us :)

Hmm, well I'm mixed with this one.

Sex is a very, very intimate thing, and it should always be saved for someone special. Normally, friends are just friends, and boyfriends/girlfriends are those special people. I suppose as long as this was the only friend you had sex with for a month or two or longer, and you didn't have a relationship with anyone else really, it would be fine, but thats the limit to me. Otherwise, save it.

i don't like the idea of casual sex with a good friend. the only sex i have had is with my girlfriend and that was because i love her and want it to be special. thats a personal opinion, perhaps i have old fashion views?

[ylllek nivyer]

i would never do that. i don't like wasting sex, or just having it casually :/ for me i like it to be special. maybe i'm a nerd, but oh well. i really don't want to have anymore sex until i'm married. that's just my personal goals, i don't wanna get in to any debates. but i think sex with a friend has great potential to complicate things. i dont think its worth risking the friendship, but that's just me.

[The Joker]

Yes, I'm OK with it for other people, but myself, I'd prefer to be dating them.

[Josh9961]

Personally Id say yes but It would be difficult just to be friends after that

[tripolar]

If we both wanted to and i knew them for a while sure. It keeps everyone happy.

[BlackenedSilver]

Personally I don't see anything wrong with it. If it's what you both want and your both aware of the consequences and your safe, it's perfectly ok. :)
I'd do it.
