Friends with benefits.

Sometimes i wonder, do people use that term as an excuse so they don't have to commit to something bigger? Both parties using each other for one sole purpose. There is no 'making love', it's just pure, raw fucking [pardon the crudeness].

As much as i would like to be in a relationship, i wonder whether or not i remember how it's like to BE a girlfriend. My previous relationship was based on a solid friendship and yes i admit we were at it like rabbits every chance we got [frollicks down memory lane momentarily]. As time went on, we knew each others' likes, dislikes, fears and secrets.

Although it's nice to have someone to hold your hand while you walk from point A to point B. And to pick up the phone to hear your partners' voice on the other line. And to make up silly words that only you and your 'beau' can understand and relate to. I'm sure it's great to know that after a night out, one can get tucked under the doona and be kissed good night.

But the concept of fuck buddies [as it is known as], gives two people the gratification that A) they screwed someone B) they know that there's no strings attached C) both parties can just go on with their daily routines, without having to go through that awkward dating process. And unlike one night stands where one wakes up the next day, SOBER and in some strangers' bed, can be quite terrifying [that is, if you actually stay the night].

Perhaps it's just selfish and a way to protect oneself from being hurt. And if the only thing these two people have in common is that they like to get down and dirty, i say... hell yeah. And knowing that you're friends with the other makes it easier to tone down the emotions. Although it does help that the individual finds the other sexually attractive. I mean, isn't that why he/she is a friend with benefits?

But i do wonder, as i sit in front of my computer silently trying to type this out. My "friend" lies ever so peacefully on my couch.

I guess all that tidying up the day before FINALLY DID wonders in bringing in a good flow of Qi [chi] and being categorised as a Packrat... i must therefore "...focus on getting rid of the old to make room for the new..."
