No i don't think its bad at all do you want to sleep with him because you are attracted to him or because you want to move up in your career either way there there is nothing wrong with it.

Yes, Freinds with Benefits is a relationship, but not in the sense of sexually committed.  Freinds with Benefits are freinds who, along with playing golf, bowling, shopping, talking politics, religion and gossip, also relieve each others sexual tensions, partake in sexual experimentation, all without the exclusivity of a monogamous relationship.

YES! This is a no go area, if you are calling this person your "best" friend rather than just a friend you already should know that this person is not like other people you hang out with. It will be gone forever and you will have a relationship, and there is no taking it back. It's about self control and being honest to yourself, if you want a best friend steer clear of that, if al lyou want is sex or a relationship then think hard about the friends you make because it can be a world of hurt

depends on how good of a friend this person is to your ex. If they are best friends then that's breaking the unwritten rule and is pretty bad. If they're just casual friends, I don't think it would ruin the friendship.

No.  If you want a lot of friends have them.  Why would it ever be bad?

i would never sleep with a friend's ex, or even date them. it makes for bad blood.\n\ni've had it done to me and it doesn't feel good. when your freind, who you thought loved you (and you probably told her everything that was bad about the relationship), dates your ex, it has the potential to ruin your friendship. there are plenty of other d!cks out there, that you don't need to go for your friend's ex.

you can be friends without having sex. it's okay to think about it, but if she is not interested in a romantic relationship, do not act on your sexual feelings unless you want to ruin a good friendship.  take it for what it's worth, the friendship, a lot of guys never get the chance to have a female friend.  consider her priceless. treat her as you believe a mature christian guy should treat a woman who is not his mother or sister.

if you're having sex then it's more than friends...if not then you are just friends.

For me its cold turkey all the way.  If we didn't work out we didn't work out.  Why do we have to be friends ? We didn't meet to become friends.  Do we really want to stay friends and then double date with our new partners ? Will our new partners be ok with our ex being our friend ? Nothing good comes of it.

I don't know how old you are, but you sound young. Friends with benefits are ok as long as you agree to stick with the terms. You know he doesn't feel the same way you do, so stop hooking up and step back for a while. Besides, he's hooking up with other girls and that puts you more at risk of catching something (even if you use a condom). Use your head instead of your heart on this one. Don't hook up anymore.

NO, don't do it! it seems you may have honest feelings for him, so do not do the friends w/ benefits. you will just get more deeply involved. what if he starts seeing another girl? honey  he's not the only man in the world, there's thousands outthere. all you need to do is keep your mind occupied and give yourself, your body value, love and respect. you know you deserve so much better than just being someone's sex object.

When  you make a friendship a sexual realtionship you are adding another thick layer. This can make or break the relationship you two have built.\n\nSo it could work out to be the mosts wonderful realtionship in your life, but just know that if things turn sour, you could have a very strained relationship...or no relationship at all.

That question depends on your future w/ your current baby's daddy.  If the relationship looks like you guys will be married then you don't want to jeopardize that because of your child.  If you can keep your friend and remain faithful no matter how hard times are, then I see no problem w/ you guys being friends as long as the benefits are only talking

if you stick with one partner, and use protection, then it's not bad, it's good. But if you do a whole bunch of one night stands in a row, then it'll be bad, morally, and bad things will happen, unwanted pregnancy, STD, etc.

I am not sure.  Everyone needs friends, but if your friend crosses a certain level of intimacy, you should certainly evaluate that relationship during down time. In other words, only you can answer that question.
