Will affect it but in a negative way will depend on how you approach it.
If it’s “let’s experiment and get this over with” you could stay friends. If it’s “I think I love you let’s try this thing out” it typically doesn’t end well.
Best to get all expectations out of the way and discuss it like crazy unless you are both really into each other and want to move on to boyfriend/girlfriend0 0 0 0Been there myself and it messed up our friendship. It was great at first but after a while we couldn’t separate friendship from feelings and it made everything awkward.

1 14It will almost certainly affect your friendship. Positive or negative is hard to say. Catching feelings would count as what? Deciding you want to do it more often as something else? Even just knowing what you both look and sound like naked will of course change your relation to some extent.
So change. Absolutely. I would imagine if you are both willing / wanting it is more likely positive than negative. But who can tell?0 0 0 0If you are good friends, and you are attracted to each other, and willing to have sex together, why wouldn't you explore having a relationship with him? Ladies always say that they want their romantic partner to be their best friend and then, when they have the opportunity to make that happen, they trot out this lame explanation that "I don't want to take a chance on losing our friendship." Having a romantic partner is just as important as having a best friend and you have the chance to have he ideal romantic partner.
You've gotta take a chance if you wanna find romance.0 1 0 0Thanks for your response. While I generally wouldn’t have a problem with getting together with a friend, in this case I’m in the process of looking for a guy to be my fiancé, and even though I’m attracted to my friend, he doesn’t have to qualities I want in a husband, and I don’t want potential future partners to not approach me because they saw I’m already with someone. No strings attached sex is different to me though.
If you don't see him as a potential lifetime partner, then don't have sex with him if you want to maintain the friendship. Hw will your future husband feel about you having a guy friend who was previously your fuckbuddy. What will your fiancé/husband think when you have a two hour lunch with your "best guy friend?" Would you have any questions about his behavior if he spent long period of time with a girl who was previously a sexual partner?
We're still great friends more than a decade later.
0 0 0 0After you had sex together?
we were close friends, then it was our first time, then we were a couple, then back to friends, and we're still friends today
So you got into a relationship with each other before having sex together?
Yes. Watch "When Harry met Sally" and you'll see, it changes everything.
0 0 0 0It can do when partners later on are added to the mix yes
0 0 0 0Probably not
1 0 0 0So you are thinking you can get experienced in a safe, controllable setting, where you are on the same "side" and where the awkwardness and possible trauma of first times can be assuaged by the strength of your friendship? I think the answer is yes but don't ignore the good feelings that can come from it.
And, devise a plan together on how its going to go. I have been with two virgins. The first was an urgent, awkward mess. The second followed a plan that gave us both fond memories. Even though both of you are virgins, you can educate yourselves in advance online.0 0 0 0C. Maybe, maybe not.
If he starts to be into you and you aren't or you start to be and he isn't yes, it will affect your friendship
0 0 0 0i don't think so. i mean emotions can wreck a friendship but you won't avoid those issues by not having sex.
0 0 0 0It will affect your friendship, negatively or positively. It will push you apart if it doesn't bring you closer, and it will do one or the other. You will not remain the same.
0 0 0 0Yes. That would destroy your friendship.
The only way it would work is if you talk it over beforehand and agree to be together.0 0 0 0You friendship should be stronger after that.
0 0 0 0Thanks for your response. Why do you think it would make it stronger?
Sex makes the relationship stronger. It will make you feel so close.
depends entirely on the friendship
if you think you're strictly friends and can have fun without catching feelings, id say go for it0 0 0 0I would say most likely.
0 0 0 0No, it actually works fine. I have a friend. We have sex all the time but we are just friends.
