"Have any of you lot brought sex into your friendships in a way which worked... and you still remained friends? My wife and I have been reading the 'Ethical Slut'. It's authors are lesbian lovers who have fucked their way round many different friends, still keeping friends, and also married different people at different times. This seems a little unusual to us... but we were wondering if anyone else has done it successfully. It could be that you met someone via swinging, had sex with them, and then became friends afterwards... Or maybe you had a long term friend, got d*unk, had sex, then remained friends... but with a bit of sex on the side every now and then... Sex and friendship?!?! It'd be interesting to hear your stories " Yes. I somewhat regularly sleep with one of my best friends. I can't speak for him, but it seems like we've got the best of both worlds. We were both always in relationships so never had the chance to date, however a few years ago we were both at a loose end. It's a little odd now, we can talk about failed dates with other people and be fucking within minutes, then go back to being just friends. We've managed to maintain it for about 4 years or so (probably sleep together less than 5 times a year). | |||

"Have had sexual partners that i have stayed friends with but not had sex with friends although thinking about it sounds fun. Anyone want to be my friend?! " I do. Otherwise I'd love to go with Rachel Monica and Phoebe. | |||

"Yes. Nearly 30 years ago I had a bit of fling with a friend. No one else in our set knew and it was mostly just sex after parties or dinner out with others. We are still friends to this day. We know about each others love and sex lives. I am friendly with all my ex pre-Fab lovers (I almost wrote sprout ) and I am friendly with some Fab people even though we no longer have sex, including my 'maker'. It's possible but you have to be on the same page. " that is so true | |||

"I avoid it and the people that I have made friends with, I wouldn't have sex with." This. Sex and friends don't mix. | |||

"I avoid it and the people that I have made friends with, I wouldn't have sex with. This. Sex and friends don't mix. " If it's close friends then sex only complicates things. Besides, all my close friends know that I'm a bit of a rogue! | |||

Just prefer to keep my sex life separate and private. Not saying people wouldn't be discreet though. I'm odd... you must have noticed.... | |||

" I guess this is an interesting reminder that some of the delights of swinging i.e. threesomes and foursomes... can be had outside of the swinging community... if you play your cards right and build new friendships with that possibility in mind." My first threesome experience was 20 years ago before I even knew about any of this stuff. My then partner asked if I would consider having sex with him and his best friend. I decided to make it their Christmas present. No friendships were harmed. | |||

"I've done both. Me and my best mate (who I've known since I was 11 or so) fuck every now and then and have done since we were in our twenties in between relationships. He suggested I join Fab in the first place! We're on sex hiatus at the moment but are still best mates. Then a few months back I met a guy through Fab who I am now really good friends with outside of the bedroom, with the added bonus of having incredible sex when we both feel like it. In my experience it is entirely possible to be a friend with excellent benefits provided both parties are brutally honest and upfront (some would say blunt) about those pesky feelings that crop up now and again." I'm intrigued by this last statement Ligeia. Are you saying that there have been moments when one or other of you have started falling for the other and you've had to have frank words about it and decided to cool things off as a result? My own experience has been that admission of such things has either led to a relationship or to the end of a friendship... ahhh... but then again these 'friendships' did not have a sexual element so maybe that's what makes the difference | |||

I've also had friends whom I've fucked, but then we weren't friends or fucking afterwards! Oops. | |||

My own experience has been that admission of such things has either led to a relationship or to the end of a friendship... ahhh... but then again these 'friendships' did not have a sexual element so maybe that's what makes the difference " With the first guy we need each other too much as friends to ever be a couple. We know each other far too well and also know we would be awful at it. Plus we have decades of friendship and the sex has only ever been occasional. On one occasion the sex became a regular occurrence and it started to feel like a relationship (and not a good one, we were right not to go there!) so we called it quits on the sex aspect. As for the other guy; we live in different cities and have wildly different work schedules in jobs we both love. We talk a lot and see each other when we can. A relationship in a traditional sense would be an option if we were logistically able. Since it's not we're happy knowing how we feel about each other (those pesky emotion things again) and are having a fantastic time, both together and with others. Sorry it's long winded (I edited my original answer, which was even longer) but it's hard to explain! | |||
