If you decide to be friends after sex, can this friendship last?

So you are friends with a guy and you start flirting to the point you decide to have sex with each other. Afterwards you both mutually decide that you’re better off as being friends.
Over the coming months you become best friends, spending time together but platonically.
Can this friendship last? Or is the fact you once slept together going to complicate things at some point?

  • As long as neither of them develop feelings towards the other a presses upon those feelings … they will be fine.

  • I'm fuckboy so I have ex fuck buddies...
    We do hangout. We do clubbing. We do many things together. . she in serious relationship now. Lol.

  • Hmm I've had it work out fine. But the idea of fucking more does come to mind from time to time.

    • Lol! I sometimes wonder if we will again at some point!

    • I had an old highschool girlfriend drop by to catch up a while back, and she gave me a great HJ for old times sake, all her idea, NGL was a pretty fun afternoon, apparently nostalgia is a great aphrodisiac.

    • Sounds like a great afternoon! 😉

  • There’s almost always sexual tension even if you both realize why it wouldn’t work.

  • That's not a real friendship

  • It really depends on your dynamics , having sex or not doesnot change anything but how you guys feel about it and what were your emotions post sex could possibly determine the outcome.

    You or him would definitely reintiate the sex , men and women can hardly be platonic the opposites pole are meant to attracted.

    But we'll people are good at controlling emotions so it wouldn't matter.

    There is no hard set rules in life the outcomes can be very random it's just depends on how you communicate with each other.

  • I've seen just friends after sex work, but Id rather it be a friends with benefits situation.

  • Probably not

  • I had a few sex friends that I used to hang out with in the past and now we are good friends, it preety fun because they know me really well and I know them too so we are preety open to each other about a lot of things

  • In my idea, no. Sleeping wirh someone is not only inserting your penis in there. There are a lot of complex psychological things happening

  • I've heard it never works out.

  • Most girls that I was friends with benefits but then just became friends have stayed and lasted but it took us some time to talk about how to stay friends and make sure no feelings were hurt and are emotional and sexual feelings don't get the best of us.

  • I've been with my best friend before. We are both married. no problem

  • i have found that sex will kill a friendship unless the sex is ongoing.

  • If sleeping together leads to a friendship it's more likely to last than being friends that then decided to sleep together and expecting it to stay the same.

  • Depends on the mindset going into the bump-n-grind session. If both are cool with friends with benefits, sure.

  • If I don't like her in bed, I can stay friends. If I liked her in bed then it would be hard for me to stay friends.

  • I think it depends on how mature the people are. I’m still friends with girls I’ve hooked up with before.

    • If people are mature. I’m still friends with one of the first girls I fucked, we never dated. She def still likes me but we have been friends for years.

  • Never heard of this, but it could last awhile. Or maybe you could start growing feelings for each other.

  • It definitely should workout! Did this with a friend and we’re still cool! Not awkward at all!
