Do you think fuck buddys are acceptable??

As long as everyone knows the situation, it's perfectly morally acceptable. The real question is will you be okay with it--and I think the vast majority of people will ultimately not be able to handle it.

That's a good point. I often wonder though how many people are truly able to handle monogamy well. Cheating and divorce are so rampant, and a lot of that seems to me that it's because people are trying to fit themselves into a one size fits all relationship model that only works well for some people. Most people seem to be able to handle it for a while, but it often becomes a problem long term. Among those who do make it work, I wonder how many find it truly fulfilling, are able to achieve a high level of openness and trust, and how many keep extensive sexual fantasies a deep dark secret from their partner.

My opinion is that relationships and sexuality are complicated and problematic regardless of how you go about it. I'm not at all sure that the vast majority of people are any better equipped to handle monogamy. Actually it seems to me that our biological inclinations would not choose that, it's only so appealing because of cultural conditioning.

But I agree with the others, there is nothing shameful about it in the least. Deceiving a friend or a lover about it on the other hand is reprehensible in my book, especially if you have made commitments to another not to do it or to be open about it.

(Mrs) In My opinion i dont think it's acceptable, but i suppose it depends on everyone's different situations, but the thing you have to think about is, what if one of the one's involved in the fuck buddy situation was to become involved with someone and didnt want to continue ?
Would it not be better just to have stayed friends in the frist place, because if not you run the risk of developing real feelings for the person and then if they got in a relationship you could get hurt or vice-versa without realising your hurting the other person.

But in my opinion, fuck buddys are pointless. Then again ive got the love of my life so maybe im just biased.

I wouldn't let my wife even think about another man. However, another woman is a different story. All parties must be okay with it. If not than a discussion should take place. Even though I wouldn't even think of the idea some people do no mind.

All things are relative. If your comfy than there isn't much of anything that cant be OK, it just depends on whats alright between your partner and you. Ive considered what I smilingly reference as group activity, but I want my companion to be involved. As he is the cake to my ice cream, everything seems better with him. Maybe a little cheesy, but that's me ^_^

(Him)Best part of the thread goes to CBL! Hilarious reading this post and even learnt a new phrase-"trolling" Ha! Who knew people had special words for Bullsh***ers on SF. I've been educated! ;-)

Thanks, Mr. S. I had to go back and read my posts to understand what you were talking about. Every once in a while my buzz wears off enough for me to make sense. Apparently, I was having one of those days when I posted here.

I didn't know that was even possible. Have you got a remote control connected to electrodes in her brain?
