Do you think people can be friends with benefits without catching feelings?

Ask your mom if she has feelings for me.

Therein lies your answer.

Some can, some can't

No.

It is possible. It most likely happens when you are attracted to their bodies but not so much their personality.

I did this successfully. He was a cool guy and we both knew what it was. I had no feelings. Then again, he could have secretly had feelings for me. He hid it well if he did.

I think this all depends on how needy one is. Strongly independent people I feel can pull it off better

Short answer, absolutely. That said. If you notice yourself gaining feelings, don't repress them. It's better to be honest with both them and yourself

Do you 'catch' a feeling like a cold?

I think its possible for some people. But what if its only one half?
For me it would only be possible for a one time thing if i never saw them again.

I think it's going to be difficult, but I know for guys it's certainly possible.

I thought the whole point of friends with benefits is that you like them as a friend AND want to casually fuck.

Have I been doing it wrong?

My boyfriend and I started out as friends with benefits. I both have very serious feelings for each other.

The only time I’ve heard of no-one catching feelings in a fwb situation was when it was two guys.

Male - female and female - female someone has ALWAYS caught feelings from what I have personally observed. And it’s not always the woman in straight combinations.

Basically unless you’re a non-romantic guy planning to bone another non-romantic guy I would approach fwb with caution and not stick around too long. Also use condoms and get STI checks.

I dated a lady and was very much in love but my feelings were unrequited. She wanted to be friends with benefits and I agreed.
I regret doing that because she was looking for someone else but going out with me at the same time.

If I got romantic she would distance herself from me for a while. However she still wanted to sleep with me no strings attached while I had hopes of winning her heart.
It hurt like hell.

She is now married to someone she found after our friends with benefits thing was over.

Very easy for me

Yes, I doubt I could though. I'm to emotional and junk. Maybe if I had a man already but otherwise probs would catch something

For some people, yes. For me, no. For me sex is both a physical feeling and an emotional one. Not just bang and go on about your day. That's why I would never have an Fwb thing.

I have a friend on benefits. He is funny fuck and says I am his best friend. So yea people can have both friends and their benefits. Now we have feelings but it's totally BRO LOVE.

Well if you hate their personality then yeah. Otherwise i'd say that there's always a small chance.
