Anyone go this route? Are you selling yourself short? Or is it a good solution if your not ready for a relationship?

You must both be clear that this is what you want.

TBH, I always thought I'd be selling myself short. If I like someone enough to shag them, I don't want them to shag someone else.

I think I would be selling myself short.
If I'm not ready for a relationship then I am definitely not ready for the emptyness of casual sex. That is how I feel about it.

it works for me, but I feel I'm in a very small majority! There was a similar thread recently that I posted on here

It would only work if neither of you are interested in moving the relationship forward, which may be the case right now BUT imo, someone always get more attached and possibly hurt.

When I first split from my ex I had one. It was fine at first but after a while I had to call it off as I sensed she wanted more and I didn't.

I'm not saying it can't work but I guarantee that one party will always want more than the other.

Thanks for replies and link. Most likely a bad idea. He'd be more into it. Don't fancy him, just sex!

Depends how good the sex is, I did it for a while wasnt that fussed about the bloke and then I realised I was getting better sex solo so didnt bother anymore.
