Fuck buddy into a Relationship

Does it work from being buddie to having a full blown relationship. I am asking this as I have been seeing my postman for the past two years we get on great. Never been out on a date it is just pure sex which we both enjoy.

The thing is he wants to take it forward to the next stage and take me out we are going the pub at the weekend. He knows that I swing and he is curious as he puts it to come into my world.

Can it work. What do you think I have not had a proper relationship for a very long time. And to tell you the truth a little scared.

Of cause it can work, but i wouldnt worry about it to much yet hes only taking you for a drink. See how it goes if you get on go with the flow dont get serious about it just see what happens.

You may get on fantastically, you may find that its just the sex you have been attracted to.

Also you say he wants to "get into your world" does he mean swinging or you personally. Maybe he just wants to be more of a permanant swinging partner.

Good luck anyway shaz

Only one way to find out, suck it and see ! I always have thought that good sex was one of the essential ingredients for a good relationship so it may be worthwhile giving it a go assuming you get on ok together.

It has taken him two years to pluck up and ask I have not pushed him, he knows that I am into it and he loves it when I tell him what goes on at chams. But its like most men there is talking about it then actually doing it in reality. And he has been happy with just me. Has wanted to build things for a while but I have never been ready to take it further. Plus I am not ready to give the swinging up yet as I am enjoying it too much.

If it's what you want, Shaz, go for it! A relationship built on a good friendship & great sex is something that many people dream of. Add to that total honesty, and the opportunity to continue swinging, and you're on to a winner.

Good luck!

It won't ever work.

Swinging is a couples process. It's fundamentally built on the process of couples swapping partners and returning to their own.

If you are single, you aren't swinging cause you don't come from the sexual experience back to the love of your partner. If your postman is single he's not doing that either.

I've had to redefine my future with swinging since my partner separated from me. Over 16 years, there were times when we were very active and other times when it wasn't a thought, even for a year or two.

A relationship is not based on sex. It never can be because the chemicals of sex become familiar to the body and then you become tolerant of them. This is part of the reason men are strong on a relationship at the start but over time start looking elsewhere.

Another issue is that when a couple sleep together (that doesn't mean sex, it just means in the same bed) chemicals are transferred from the man to the women to make her want to be close to him. It also works on man on man too. Not sure if it works on woman to woman as woman don't excrete the chemical. (Women put out a sex pheromone each month that draws men, or if lesbian, women, to them)

To build a stable relationship with a male who's been a casual sex partner, and who probably has others, you would have to consider the motivation at this time and what will happen in 3, 5 and 10 years time.

Men like to be attached, for sexual gratification and so they secure relationships.

How many other women has this post man been seeing as well? Maybe he was seeing 2 or 3 a week and now the women have moved on or that circumstances has ceased and his daily hormone needs aren't being met within his minds drive so he wants to move in with you for daily sex.

However, his tolerance will build to the the chemicals that you release when you have sex and when you are with him and he'll get bored. He will want to find other women, probably secretly, to fulfil his need for the chemical rush, and you might think you are in love and in a stable relationship, which inevitably will move on after a year or two and you'll have to pick up your emotions and baggage.

There is a reason why we have dating and grow love and relationships beyond sex. There is a reason Britain has one of the highest divorce and 'break-ups' (unreported cause more than 50% of people in Britain have 2-3 year relationships, and often with a child, and move on so they don't get counted) because many people are drive by the sexual urge and not the mental, intellectual, spiritual and most important the emotional aspects of a relationship. Many people are not capable of emotionally supporting their partner, which results in exhaustion and sometimes aggressive responses. Usually selfish in reflection.

I could go on for hours and share a lot!

Anyway as my ex is finding out, dating men on a swingers sight is a one off fuck and there is no emotional connection, she has no emotional support like she has for the prior 16 years, no one to cuddle up with and cry, she has no friends ... it's very sad to watch. But I can't do anything and shouldn't do anything.

So please don't turn fuck buddies into relationships, it really does not work for the majority.

Sex and Love are different things.

But surely swinging will settle the need for new partners?

I met my partner in a club where we both swung seperately, now thing are serious and we're doing great! It can work

We have just talked about things and are honest about our feeling all the time....

Shaz, give it a go... lifes too full of what if's as it is not to go for it

Soory but I couldn't dissagree more with the last poster.

In reference to your situation, Shaz, I would say have you examined your motives for wanting to take things further, before?

Do you want a partner or a swinging partner?

And also, trust your instincts, that usually works, as to how to approach the situation, it sounds like you have been doing fine up until now?

Maybe you are over analysing things instead of just relaxing and enjoying his company, good luck xx

well having seen some fab 'couples' come and go, I'm one(not a swinging issue why we split!),all I can say is, dont be surprised if who u shag isnt ur ideal life partner...and dont be surprised if each of u gets bored.Ive almost started not being able to see a settling down to a vanilla rtype of life, so the scene and my friends are gonna hopefully be some of my friends for life(as we know it), but as we all know, the dynamics start coming in when ur still playing i.e, who u select,when u select etc etc

for now im happy being unanswerable lolol

my only issue with fuckbuddy to couple is that theres no cheating

Lol..... ah but sometimes it does work. I know of several couples on the site who met through swinging and have been together (some very happily married) for years. (...and yes, I met my partner at a swingers party over a year ago. We're having a wonderful life together and I hope (and have no reason to think otherwise) that we will stay together).

Just enjoy and see where it goes Shaz. It may turn out to be something wonderful or it may not, but hopefully you'll have some fun times during the process.

Well update for you we went on our first date last night after two years lol, He came to the door with flowers very romantic and we went to the beer fest. Just a date and chatted all evening. He is open to the swinging but will take it slow. Had a kiss good night at the door and no sex so that's progress. Building a friendship and taking it from there. I know I would not be comfortable doing vanilla but I would not push swinging on anyone either. So will just wait and see. Ps we going out again next week.

no reason why it can't but if you decide to go to a club first please have an escape plan for yourself just in case he cannot cope with jealousy etc once you're at the club.

ie make your own way there..

Over the Years and listening to a lot of friends/mates opinions is that a lot of men never totally respect a woman if they started a relationship based on sex. It obvioulsy works for some, but If a woman gives you sex every time you meet, why would you want to start a relationship with her?

Because eventually she becomes bored with you and she moves on, which is problably why SHE doesn't want a relationship with you

Get real. People post their opinions, it is the norm. Posting your "mates" opinion and not stating that it isn't shared by you is not normal on this or any other forum (unless you are trolling), it is nothing to do with jumping to conclusions.

No it is more valid because as I already said your "friends" talk bollocks. On this subject at least.

Though at no point prior to that had I commented on validity. So perhaps you too are "susceptable to jumping to conclusion".

Just because a group of people have a difference of opinion it doesn't mean they are 'talking bollocks'

So you do agree with them then? Even if it is only to a degree?

I think my assessment is fair and lets face it no one is leaping to your defence saying you/they have a valid point. Or are you saying that your "friends" attempting to pass off an udeniably misogynistic viewpoint as some sort of credible theory is anything other than talking crap? Incidentally how do they view men that enter relationships based on sex and what is the basis of their theory it will be the women and not the men that ultimately stray?

Good advice as the only possible scenario if he's not happy is that he will fly inti a jealous rage meaning leaving seperately is the only option!

Or possibly talk about it first, be open about fears and expectations and set boundariies. I realise that to the OP thae advise that I am giving is possibly a little patronising but at least not as insulting as the suggestion this man could be a pyscho!

To the OP, apologies for the thread hijack. We met on here and appear to fal into the not that uncommon "wasn;t looking for it but fucking loving it now it has happened" category. Go for it and enjoy. He sounds a gem based on a desire to go on dates which suggests that it is very much you and not the swinging that is the priority. As with all things in life, if it feels right go with it.

Loved some of the comments that followed my post. I'd like to clarify some background:

I operated one of the, if not the, first adult meeting and contact web site from 1992 until 2004 when I had to shut it down after my professional career was being tainted with the social aspect of operating a sex site.

During that time, my (now ex from May this year) partner and I would have Friday night social parties and saturday night play nights (not that much play ever happened back then people were too shy)

We telephone verified every registration - that means 2 separate calls for the male and female partner in a couple. The statistics would surprise you.

We also travelled every fortnight or month (for a longer trip) around pre-planned routes to enable registered members to meet us, socially to get a VIP icon on their profiles as being genuine.

Over the years the dynamics changed considerably. About 50% of couples 'split up' within 6 months of registering. About 25% at 2 years.

Where people 'met' and formed a 'loving relationship' through the site, none were successful. (I recall over 250 'relationships' being announced in 2 years.)

I have not yet met a couple anywhere in the world that met through swinging and have stayed together till one of them passed away. I know, that's a long time and I'm only going back electronically to 1992. (I knew about swinging from 1986 and I'm not that old!)

I did a little research the last few days with people I know are cross linked in other databases I have access to (see how all those names, DOB's and email addresses can be so useful!) and none of the 'couples' registered in 2004 who came together as a result of meeting in the swinging scene are together today. I cross check 2300 profiles.

If the married couples only 1231 out of 13,000 are still married ... and sadly I have to put myself in the higher number but not as a result of swinging ... or then again given my ex is on this site meting random men looking for 'love' that she says she didn't have for the last 16 years ... maybe she was influenced by the sex and not the true depths of a relationship.

As someone posted above, if you can have sex when you want it, why complicate that with a relationship and to be honest, this is true. Relationships are hard work. Sex is never the answers to a successful relationship.

England has the highest number of 'blended' families in the world, twice that per capita of the USA.

I'm still collating statistics, but I'm fairly close to saying that the average British woman has children to at least 2 men, the next highest is 4 men (not sure why 3 men falls below 4), the average registered marriage lasts between 6 and 11 years. The variance is too narrow to say '8' because the variance between 1-5 and 6 is huge and the variance from 12 upwards is linear.

The average unmarried relationship last between 18 months and 3 years, with 5 years being the next but at 50% of the previous group. No unmarried relationships can be found above 5 years (though I know 1 personally, it's not in the statistical data from the Government) and most people under 18 months have a new partner and 'in love' quite frequently .. whilst the sex and beer is good.

Right, so anyway ... I'm sure that's spinning some heads!

Now lets get back to reality. Sex is not love, and guys rarely know what love is. They want attachment for convenience in most cases. Few men can truely demonstrate emotional intelligence (as my ex seeks) simply because it's not a genetic or primal instinct.

Women are genetically programmed to find a new better gene source very 6 to 7 years - hence the '7 year itch' but in the last 20 years economic reasons have made people 'stay together' longer simply because it's easier and comfortable. I could give a 2 hour talk on this topic, and have, and I'm not going to type it in here cause I just don't think most here are really interested.

Swinging is great fun when you have someone to swing back to. If you have a regular fuck buddy or multiple swinging partners each week, then you might not realise you arr missing out on a critical biochemical part of the aspects of a relationship and of course the emotional support expected within a relationship.

Enjoy swinging, but don't ditch your true love for what might be - the grass is RARELY ever greener on the other side.

"I went to the other side cause I thought the the grass was greener but everyone else was there too." - similar to a quote I become known for a few years ago

"Over the Years and listening to a lot of friends/mates opinions is that a lot of men never totally respect a woman if they started a relationship based on sex. It obvioulsy works for some, but If a woman gives you sex every time you meet, why would you want to start a relationship with her?"

having trouble with this one. if you don't want a relationship because someone gives you sex everytime you meet (man or woman) then does that mean you would want a relationship with someone who does not give you sex everytime you meet.

Seems strange criteria for a relationship. Though that most developed relationships because they felt comfortable and had fun with someone first and the bond developed from there. Do not see how the sex affect this. Or is it just me?

I would not write off a guy for a relationship just because he gave me sex everytime we met. I'd be quite pleased.

"Does it work from being buddie to having a full blown relationship. I am asking this as I have been seeing my postman for the past two years we get on great. Never been out on a date it is just pure sex which we both enjoy.

The thing is he wants to take it forward to the next stage and take me out we are going the pub at the weekend. He knows that I swing and he is curious as he puts it to come into my world.

Can it work. What do you think I have not had a proper relationship for a very long time. And to tell you the truth a little scared."

No one can help you on this .....but I would say one thing after reading all off this post don't let fear hold you back live each day like its the last except that you may get hurt and just run with it where ever it leads ......lifes about taking risks and with out risk your not living just existing .....
