Hey Mylotters! I would like to have your opinion regarding to this issue. Is it really possible not to develop feelings on someone who you've shared physical intimacy? Because nowadays, movies about these kind of stories are quite popular such as friends with benefits, no strings attached and love and other drugs. But in those movies, it all ended up falling in love with the person they used to slept with...

In my opinion, it would be possible as long as they keep distance and they would only meet when they think they needed each other, but it would still depend on each person involve, they would prevent for falling in love as long as they do not do it always.

I also think that you will never be intimate with a person unless you are attracted to him/her. Not like in movies, both of you might not fall in love with each other but one will. Human per nature is a social being and demands intimacy.

You're right! You'll not agree to have intimacy to a person if you're not physically attracted with him/her. :)

Yes, it is. Some people just need to release their stress and pressure in life through intimacy using friends with benefits thing. For as long as no one fall in love with neither of them.

Well, of course falling in love with the person who you sleep with is possible. After all the physical intimacy is very deep connection between two people so when they say "one thing leaves to another" they may have in mind that love leads to physical intimacy, then why should physical intimacy lead to love ? Of course not always relationship like that can lead to falling in love. For me personal (I'm a guy), if I hooked up with a chick and we start making it regular thing, I would never fall in love with her, because I would never fall in love with a girl who is willing to sleep with a guy just for the pleasure, without even knowing him.

It is really impossible not to fall in love. It can mostly happen to girls because we tend to invest emotionally. And why would you sleep with someone you're not inlove with? That is just like fooling yourself. If you are always together and you are doing what couples do, I find it impossible not to get attach to the person. We just deny it because we're scared of being rejected by that person if we tell them we love them. We keep on saying the word "jut friends" and that we will never fall to that guy but our heart tells us otherwise.

I don't think it is possible, but then I would not want it be. I'd hate to think I could give such an intimate part of myself away to someone and not have feelings for them. The physical union of two people is the most intimate that it gets and should only be shared by two people who do care about each other.

It might be possible at the start, but in the end I think feelings will come into it. I would think they would HAVE to. After all it should be an expression of love!

well that could be possible but it also won't be impossible to fall for the person.

Well, there are actually people who only have physical relationship. I am not one of them . I think they find it more convenient to not involve their emotions in the relationship. They also do not want commitments and responsibilities so they find it more practical if they do it no strings attached. If you do not do "it" with the same person a lot of times and you don't get together frequently, you will not develop the feelings. Otherwise, someone will fall eventually.

What do you mean physical intimacy? Do you mean like
the stuff they do in bed? I think it can happen, but
it can also not happen. Those are just movies. I mean, think about
the pr*stitutes, they share physical intimacy with customers
but they don't have feelings. They even get sukis.
But sometimes it happen. It just depends on the persons involved!

Hey.
If I were to talk from my own experience I would have to say that I agree with the theme in these movies because that's what happen to me.
Friends with benefits is the kind of relationship from which one or the other gets hurt because feelings develop only from one partner. The great outcome such as in my case is when they end up together, also like the movies suggest.
I have some friends that tried this kind of relationship and none of them ended up together but all of them ended up not speaking to each other, or becoming strangers and having small talk once in a while when they meet.
It is possible not to develop feelings but it's highly improbable. As humans feelings have a big contribution to our lives whether we like it or not, whether it hurts us or not.

I generally think that most people develop feelings after intimacy, although possible? Maybe so, but not as often as the movies make us think...

i think its possible for someone into friends with benefitsrelationship to fall in love with his/her partner. it is possible also for both of them to fall inlove. but personally, if you ask me, i would not want this kind of relationship involving only physical attraction and sometimes it will just too selfish. i also don't like the idea that you can date anyone else while in such relationship.

yeah but u all write here about friends and stuff, but I know some people sleeping with strangers and they don't have any warm feelingh towards those persons... and I think that not always everyone will fall in love with the other person, also most of the time people are confusing desire with love...

Well, that happened to me in college. I was talking to a guy and we both agreed we were just having fun no string attached and that did not land up happening. In fac, we landed up being together for 8 years. I think if people hang out and get to know each other that is when the feelings begin to get invovled, but if you have two people that strictly enjoy each other only in one way than maybe there is a possibility of it going no where with no feelings.
