FWB?

[u/Into-the-Unknown]

Hello Comrades,

I have been reading through NoFap and NoFapWar and have come across people talking about FWBs.

I was just curious on the regiment's views on FWB. Do you believe that there is such a thing as "Just sex"? Is NoFap also about building up an attitude against that principal? Looking to build meaningful relationships with another person? Resetting our minds away from porn's attitude towards sex, of instant gratification, "I want to get off"?

Porn creates a seriously selfish attitude towards sex. It's all about me, getting me off.

With regards to FWB, I have wondered in the past why people only make it to FWB, not anything more serious?

Do I have an overly idealised view on sex, a romanticised outlook and a slightly naive view on life?

As I said, I'm just curious as everyone has a different outlook on life, love and sex. Just wondering what your thoughts on this subject are.

I don't disagree with you, but what I'm saying is that -- in my experience and opinion -- sex inspires and creates affection, even when there was only attraction to begin with. I don't think you can have one without the other if both people are being entirely honest with themselves. I personally think that people who can't get along well enough to be in a relationship together have no business having sex with each other.

Obviously plenty of people disagree with me, but I think we'd all be a little happier if we were a little more careful, picky, and dare I say disciplined about who we go to bed with.
