My friends with benefits doesn't want me sleeping with other people... is this normal?

Hi everyone! So my friends with benefits and I met last year after getting our hearts broken and we have built a strong friendship since then. At first we both agreed we weren't ready for any relationship stuff, so we just held on to the friendship and having sex. Before corona-virus, I was interested in maybe seeing other people just to live my "single-era" a little, but it also frightens me because my body count is only two people (counting my friends with benefits). I made a slight comment about this to my friends with benefits and he answered that if that is what I wanted to do, we wouldn't sleep together anymore cause he doesn't want have sex with a girl who goes around... Mind you one night I went out with my girl friends and we got drunk and I made out with a guy, I told him about it and he got mad saying that was disgusting and I should respect myself more...

I know for a fact he is still very in love with his ex, and he would take her back in a heart beat. So, this case isn't about him having feelings for me. I guess I am conflicted because I don't want to lose the benefits portion with him, but I also have curiosity of what else is out there.

  • As long as that sword cuts both ways

  • Why having a friend with benefits, instead of a boyfriend?

  • If they are only firends then no..

  • Yep. Pretty normal.

  • Its normal if you dont want an disease.

  • Having an friends with benefits is secondary to having a real relationship with someone. Your friends with benefits is an "option", nothing more. If he wants you to be his priority, then he can tell you "don't fuck anyone else". If he won't do that, than you're free to do whatever you want, but you should tell him if you fuck someone else.

  • It makes sense. If you are having sex with others, the risk of you passing an STD to your friend with benefit is higher.

  • I'd make sure he wasn't double dipping or triple. ?

    According to
    " Webster's " ( my dry humor, sorry ) A friends with benefits is just that a friend with benefits ( sexual ) ... usually! Lord knows we used to drag our knuckles! So daaaahhhh !
    How many friend friends do you have... I mean... Can he spell his Name. ?

  • He’s a jackass, you are not “his”, you can do whatever you want... break off the “benefits” and see how much of a “friend” he really is

  • Friends with benefits is itself abnormal.

  • He is just jealous in general (not because he loves you)

  • He is overstepping. That's reasonable for a girlfriend, not a friend with benefits.

  • Leave him and find other friend with benefits

  • Yeah he is just a selfish human like most of us. He wants exclusivity. Totally depends what you want to do in this situation. It's your choice.

  • If its strictly friends with benefits, then it really shouldn't matter what or who you do on your own time..

  • No it is not normal. One thing about a fwbs relationship is that it is not a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. If you find someone better or someone you want to be serious with then you can cut all ties with your fwbs. He has no say to your love life as if you are just that friends or single.

  • Sounds like he wants more from you.

  • I stopped sleeping with the girl I was sleeping with for the same reason. I don't know the guys she's with or iff she's gonna catch something that I'll end up catching so I just stopped.

  • Selfish, commit to a girl if you want exclusivity

  • He can't control you, so you are free to sleep with anybody you want
