If you deeply kiss a genuine friend, is that “friends with benefits” or just a weird moment between friends?

In your opinion, Is sex necessary for you to consider it a friends with benefits or is just any physically intimate activity sufficient?

My other question about kissing friends with benefits got me curious here. In this case y than I think than a lot of casual sex situation that refer to themselves as” friend with benefits” it’s a real friendship so I’m curious.

Side note I actually think friends with benefits would be good if it involved real friendship bc then you are saying an actual friend but normally it’s just hard as a way to make cheap sex spin more endearing. in my opinion

Now tow friend hugging abs kissing on its own, would look like two friends who may date bc dating often goes form friendship to kissing to dating. However, what if one made it clear they ONLY want to kiss.. then I guess tow friends who mess around a big maybe friends with benefits. I’ve def known people who do this. Tho normally in uni.

What do you all think?

  • That's just weird.
    Why make this complicated and weird?

    If one wants to get into a relationship, I think that would be more worth it in a variety of ways.

    I'm not sure why people get into bastard or pseudo versions of actual and meaningful relationships.

    If you deeply kiss a genuine friend, then something is going on there beyond friendship and I think that may be worth looking into. I mean, why else do you feel the need or want to deeply kiss another person? Perhaps emotions exist between you and him/her? That seems like a logical guess.

    Also, when it comes to friends with benefits, the thing that primarily characterizes it would be sexual acts beyond kissing.

    • I wouldn’t I’m just asking And I don't know I think anything behind regular friendship activity is a benefit. I guess it depends if you like kissing or not lol

    • Oh yeah, I wasn't referring to YOU, but "you" as in everyone/general pop. But if kissing is involved, don't you think that feels like something more than friendship? I'm not talking about a peck on the cheek or something, rather, full on making out. Or Can I ask Are you just afraid of relationships or something? It seems like you are wanting that intimacy but maybe you're afraid of the commitment?

  • No, I do not consider that friends with benefits.

    It's a deep kiss. Why does it need to have a label? Let's say it IS friends with benefits? Let's say it's NOT friends with benefits? What does that matter? How does it affect anything?

    We have plenty of words for our use. We can describe things in detail. There is no need to reduce it down to just a few words. In some cases a word or three is enough to communicate what you mean. But we have sentences and paragraphs for a reason. While you can call a deep kiss friends with benefits if you want, if you called it friends with benefits to most people, they would think you meant sex.

    Communication is about using whatever words are necessary to get your point across. In this case, friends with benefits will not get your point across because people will think of something else. So you need to use different words.

  • Deeply kisses a friend? That will never happen.
    if we happened to deeply kissed…we will have a discussion about our feelings. If it’s to progress, then we star my dating as boyfriend/girlfriend. Otherwise, end of friendship. Yes…end the friendship.
    that’s how it is to respect ourselves and others.
    i don’t like games. Feelings can get hurt. I don’t like to be hurt or hurt others…so I like open communications.
    I also like to be clear of who I want and what I want then go after it.
    Life is too short to play games.

  • Eh depends. For me it can simply be a way to ease emotions or stress.

    • I agree for sure but I still think it’s a benefit 😂

    • True true

    • 😁😁

  • Deep kissing anyone you are not fucking would be considered really odd in my world.

  • To me, friends with benefits means someone to have sex with without commitment. They just come around when they are horny. The sex is delightful, but the relationship is a dead end street.

    I don't consider passionately making out to be "friends with benefits".

    If two people like each other romantically, kissing is a must, but sex isn't. Kissing is "first base". It's standard. You can definitely dictate your own pace for proceeding to second or third base or going all the way. Someone who genuinely likes you will understand.

  • I think it is up to the two people involved as to what to call it.

    • Fair 😊

    • Do you want to eventually have sex with him?

    • No.. just kissing.

  • Kissing is enough to count as friends with benefits, kissing is not an innocent act.

    • Yeah I think esp if you do it repeatedly lol

  • nope...

    whenever I hear that term... I see it as sex

    because most people I know and do this, or hear about... it is always about having sex consistently with no attachments, most of them times they're not true friends either... lol

  • I’ve personally never had anything like that happen between me and my friends so I genuinely don’t know hahaha

  • If me and girl kiss I would hope it would be for more than Friends With Benefits

  • just a weird moment between friends, but that could lead to more sexual activities

    • In this case it doesn’t tho tasty the criteria if the question 😊 so is it just a weird moment?

    • Yeah, I believe so.

    • Wtf did I just say 🤦🏻‍♀️ sorry lol I’m just asking if they do it repeatedly is it still a weird moment I think it’s friends with benefits just no sex lol I guess you have to see kissing as a benefit

  • I think the term "friends with benefits" needs to die out.

    If someone is a genuine friend to you, it means they care about you, and if you are a genuine friend back, and you think they are hot and want to not only stay friends with them, but also kiss and have sex with them, and they feel the same way, then you are in love, end of story.

    Now if they go and fuck some other person, they are betraying you at that point, they are putting your health at risk, so thats when they cease to be your friend, hence why mongomany and commitment are important.

    friends with benefits is just people living in their own mental fantasy so they don't have tp accept reality. If someone fucks you or kissing you and feels nothing or cheats on you, they are NOT your friend.

  • Sex is the BENEFIT!

    so kissing is a stage of development…imho

    • If it doesn’t go past kissing tho it’s not stage it’s an act. You don’t think kissing someone you are attracted to is a benefit?

    • Not enough of one, no.

  • I wouldn't kiss them, just give them a hug I guess

  • Not friends with benefits. Even if two friends have sex once I wouldn't consider them friends with benefits.

  • I'd call that a weird moment

  • I've never done that. I've only kissed the ones I was with.

  • I wouldn't just kiss a friend. I don't think you necessarily have to be married to kiss, but I still think it should be special. I think there should be feelings involved. And personally, I would want it to be in a relationship.
    I don't want some girl to kiss me before we decide what we are, ... and then we decide that we "aren't." That would really suck. That would be a huge letdown.

  • Friends with benefits is about sex and basically a nice name for fornication.

    Being friends with some level of intimacy like holding hands, hugging and kissing on cheek is not sexual

  • That's definitely a benefit, because you don't kiss someone in that way unless you have an intense attraction and emotional connection to them

    • Yeah I think so too.

    • Was this something that happened to you, or is it hypocritical? I didn't see your other question

  • I wouldn't call it weird but there might be some more feelings going on. I sometimes have kiss friends who are girls but just for fun and do consider it friends with benefits just not sexually.

  • It could be anything depending on the context. Often time people just start as friends and end of getting married, or it could just be a 1 time thing.

  • No cuz there wasn't sex involved

    • But why does it have to be sex? You are engaging in an extra feud Aggie activity it’s a bogus whether it’s ex or some other atypical “ friends” activity.

    • If you were seeing some 1 then kissed someone else it be cheating

    • The reason it is called friends with benefits is cuz your having sex with them
