SEX ON THURSDAY | The Art of Predestined Failure: Friends With Benefits
|
Urban Dictionary, a “crowdsourced online dictionary for slang words and phrases,” defines friends with benefits as:
Two friends who trust each other enough to engage in sexual activity without fear of hurting the other’s feelings. Ideal scenario for folk who are not interested in a serious relationship… Not a boyfriend or girlfriend; neither party has to refrain from dating other people. … A smart alternative to random hook-ups. (Urban Dictionary)
I have some problems with this definition and am here to deduce why “friends with benefits” is a system set up for failure, designed to fuel its own demise. I am a victim of failed friends with benefits relationships, and this is my story.
