![]() If you decided to stop seeing him tomorrow, that wouldn’t be an issue,” she adds. You weren’t worried about what he was going to think because it was just a casual relationship. “Because he was open, you were able to be open and feel comfortable enough to say what was right and wasn’t for you. The reason why it worked for you was because your wall was down." You hadn’t had much experience before to know your own body. “You had pain during intercourse, and you weren’t really enjoying it or aroused. “Before, you were just a servant to sexual needs,” she says. I realise my situation and positive experience is quite unique, so I spoke to sex and relationship therapist Emese Taylor to find out why it worked. This realisation helped me to understand that not everyone is a potential boyfriend and a casual relationship can be more beneficial than a serious one in certain circumstances.

If you dare to enter into a ‘no strings attached’ relationship as a woman, there will be at least three assumptions: you secretly want commitment but are settling, you will develop feelings, you don’t value yourself.īut, guess what? Women are completely capable of enjoying a fuck buddy situation without any of the above double-standard-ridden and patriarchal misconceptions being true. But the terms have never really had positive connotations. The terms for two people who engage in all the exciting, invigorating and passionate advantages of regular sex, without the woes of commitment, have evolved over the years. Fuck buddy, casual sex, friends with benefits. ![]()
