Friends with benefits

P.S.: It's been so long since I last posted something on my blog. My excuse is because I have been trying to write a short murder story in the past 4 days -- of which I failed miserably -- and now I feel bad if I don't post something on my blog. So yeah. Here you go.

Call it friends with benefits, call it no strings attached, call it -- ahem -- fuck buddies, call it booty call. In fact, call it anything you want. 

So what does 'friends with benefits' actually mean? To put it simply: it's two friends who have a physical relationship without being emotionally attached. Basically it is two friends who have no emotional attachment to each other do -- ahem -- activities that are socially acceptable only if they are in a relationship.

Please don't do this. Sure if you're a guy, friends with benefits is like the best 'relationship' you could ask for in a girl you're not interested in (don't look at me like that, I'm a normal guy). I mean, really, who doesn't want physical contacts with no strings attached? It's like buying a house without having to pay mortgage. If you know what I mean. Anyway, going back to what I was saying before. As awesome as 'having sex with your friends whenever you want' might sound, please don't do it. 

1. You will fall for her. Or she for you. Inevitably.

Have you ever seen the movie 'Friends With Benefits'? Or 'No Strings Attached'? No? Those are two different movies with EXTREMELY similar plots. Well, in a sentence here is a summary about those two movies: 

A guy and girl try to keep their relationship strictly physical, but it's not long before they learn that they want something more.

And the way those movies end? It always ends up with one person getting emotionally attached to the other. Bingo. With someone gets emotionally attached to the other person, it's no longer 'friends with benefits'. With someone gets emotionally attached to the other person, someone is bound to be hurt. Trust me, once you're in 'friends with benefits' status, it's hard to be her boyfriend (or his girlfriend, if you're a girl).

2. If it fails, you lose a friend.

Raj from Big Bang Theory once said something like this: 

Goddammit, Raj. What do you know? You can't even talk to women.

Sorry for bursting your bubbles, but yeah. You can. You can ruin a friendship with sex. That's like trying to ruin spaghetti with chocolate sprinkles. I like spaghetti and I like chocolate sprinkles. But that doesn't mean I like spaghetti with chocolate sprinkles. You get what I mean, right? Right? Right.

So you meet this girl. She is cute and all. She is funny and all. But there is something about her that makes you not want to commit to her. Being a guy that you are, of course you want to get physical to her. So you decide to be her 'friends with benefits'. And when you fuck up your relationship with her (both literally and figuratively), you don't really have the option to back out and be just friends with her. Your only option is just losing her. 

You can buy sex (it's not that expensive. Not that I have paid for sex or anything), but you can't buy friendship.

3. Think of the girl, really.

Let's imagine you have a girlfriend. And then being an amazing detective that you are, you find out that your girlfriend once was someone else's 'friends with benefits'. How would you feel? I don't know how you would feel, but if it were me, I would feel cheated. I would think of her as cheap (even if I have been in 'friends with benefits' with someone else before. That's how humans think, no?).

You must be getting prouder the more girls you have slept with. But she gets more ashamed the more boys she has slept with (unless of course, she is a whore who needs a spreadsheet to keep note of whom she has slept with).
