So who here has, or have had, a f**k buddy?

[HappyWithLife]

I never have, but sex is the one thing I do miss. My sex drive is pretty high so being single involves a lot of cold showers for me . How do you keep it purely 'no strings'? How did you come to this arrangement in the first place? I'm intrigued, so come on...spill.

Well, I've done it...quit PoF looking for love but am now searching for a bit of the other ....wish me luck!!

I am seriously considering this at the moment but I'm worried I will end up wanting more. Logically though I wouldn't want a relationship with this guy, we get on great, there's chemistry and he's great in bed but I know he isn't long term partner material and both of us enjoy being single. Some of these 'rules' are very handy and if I do go for it I'll be sticking to them.

I did it for abut 7 months with someone 5 years younger than me and was fab

We just chatted on MSN one night and decided it would suit us both and he came over that weekend. Carried on seeing him about once a week/10days or so. Often literally just over for sex and off he went. Other times we'd have a meal and a chat too. He stayed over a couple of times.

Never felt seedy and only stopped cos I met someone.

That has now fizzled out and so we spent yesterday afternoon in bed together and it was, as always, fab.

Not once have either of us wanted it to develop into more. I think for me the key is that he is younger than me and as such in a different place in his life so I've classified him as 'not suitable' daddy/husband/longterm etc material so happy to enjoy it for what it is and that is no strings sex with a 25 year old

I did for 5 months last year he was finishing his degree and we met through a mutual friend I used to see him on my day off it was fab and nobody got hurt.He was a gorgeous young man

well after months of faffing about, should I, shouldn't I, it would appear that I have a potential FB on the horizon. He appears to 'tick required boxes', now I just need a bit of encouragement not to bottle it .

I had a fuck buddy and he was probably the best sex I've ever had. Lasted about 10 months. I ended it because I was starting to develop feelings for him. It can be hard to separate love from great sex. But we are still friends on Facebook, which is something I can't say about any of my exes. And I have very fond memories of the great times we had together. Go for it. I'd look for one on plenty of fish if I were you.

I suppose I've got one- someone I've known a long time, but he's away a lot so it's not what you'd call frequent. He's unattached and lives a pretty free lifestyle. i do stay the night(he's not local), i would NEVER get attached to him nor him to me, but we go to the pub and I don't anticipate any problems. in fact i have a thing for someone else who's utterly unavailable so that stops me from getting too attached to this one. But it makes a change from the Rabbit and it will end sooner or later- with no tears on either side I think. A toy boy would be good fun i reckon!

All very interesting replies, thanks.

Well, these guys are like buses at the moment, may need advice when deciding which one .

Oooh not so sure I could cope with this kind of situation,guarantee I would most certainly become attached!

Can't say I really miss sex as such, it's all the other stuff that comes with it, intimacy,cuddles,kisses and just someone to envelope you with his arms and give you that real safe feeling.....these are the things I miss:(

wysiwig, I'm old, cynical and miss sex so this could well be perfect or pretty much for me .

THis sounds horrible - No way could I just have sex with someone and that be it, my neighbour is always doing this, how does she not feel used??? I can't imagine someone just coming round, shagging me and then leaving until the next time we arrange to 'do it'. I don't think women are programmed to function like that, are they?

have you not read the OP and subsequent replies dobiegirl??!?! each to their own and all.
