Attention guys and girls:
If you have sex with "just a friend", do you end up wanting a relationship with them after all?

Sometimes yes, and sometimes no.  Such relationships eventually ended anyway once the women realized that I had no interest in marrying them, giving them money, or letting them move in with me.

I haven’t don’t that in over 30 years.

It was never fulfilling. It sometimes sucked in my mind. Most women I was with were clean.

If I make love with someone I don’t have a high regard for, I feel like it’s just like masturbation.

I think it's natural to wonder if a relationship is the next step, but it doesn't seem to usually work out that way in real life. I don't have official data on it, however. It just seems like people will test the idea out for a while but eventually remember why they were friends and not romantic to start with.

“Just friends” don’t do sex, unless they’re friends like in Friends.

I think this probably depends on circumstances, and on how close the friendship was in the first place.

I would suspect it's most likely to happen if you are already very close friends and/or already living together, and/or already tied together by other circumstances (e.g. being business partners). That's how it happened with me.
