No strings attached

How do you feel about sex personally? Is sex something that you approach in a casual way or do you need a deeper connection to have satisfying sexual realtions with another person? Would you consider a no-strings-attached relationship with someone?

All of these are heady questions and all would take a bit of soul searching to arrive at the right answer for you. There IS no right answer for everyone. People who want to make rules for other people regarding their sexuality are stepping into an area that they don’t belong.

A no-strings-attached relationship is one where both parties want to remain friends and occasionally get it on. Some have these partnerships when they are between relationships and some make use of a friend on the side while in a relationship.

If sex always means love and commitment to you, being friends with benefits is not going to work for you. If sex can be a more casual thing to you, then I think it’s possible that you can get together with a friend and agree to do that and not get too emotionally tied up.

An acquaintance of mine swears by a no strings attached friendship. She says when she’s single, this sort of “backup” helped her make better choices in relationships. She wasn’t choosing someone because she was horny. It would never be for me because sex, love and commitment go together in my book of life.
