Issue #1:
At work today (yes work) there was a discussion surrounding sexual partners. The conversation/discussion came about through a co-worker asking if it was ok for friends to have sex. The answer was no. No was the answer because it crosses the lines of friendship.
What do you think? Would you "sleep" with your friend?

Issue#2
As well at work today through the above discussion we got to men counting the number of sexual partners they have. The guy that asked the above question made a comment that lead us into this discussion by saying "so, whats the big deal with friends sexin' its not like i'm adding her to my number board." THERE came an EXPLOSION of comments. Me (being the deep thought kind of person I am) guaranteed him that his count was off. He denied that it was because he etches his wall after every encounter. I then responded by saying yeah but with STD's on the rise and everything else if you sleep with one girl you've slept with every other man she's slept with before you. He disagreed. However, he did at one point in conversation say that he was "burned" by a female a few years ago and my response to that was... "see you was burned by someone and you were burned by her because she was burned by you... meaning you slept with her former partner while you slept with her." --

What do you think? Does my comment make sense? If not ... why not? And what would your comment be?

Sex is nothing but a game of who the guys who can bag the most and for woman who can bag the most guys. Why do you need all those partners for , that is when it gets nasty you don't know who they are doing. Everyday you live to the fullest of your life and you think well i'm just having fun. It can all come back on you and burn you. Then having sex with a friend could ruin something. If you do have sexual partners keeping a count is good you can back tract lol lol. Why go through all of that. why 2, why 3, why 4, why 5, why 6, why 7, why 8, why 9. Is this necessary no. I have one woman and she mean the world to me. For me to go out and put both of us at risk why do that. We are waiting til we are married b/c right now that is not important to us we have great conversation, stimulating time we share.I think she is the greatest person in the world I love her and she knows that. You do not have to have sex to have fun. This is how i feel this is me. If you feel that you are ok with partners go for it and use protection.

Gotta disagree, sex isn't just a game. It's human nature. It's passion. It's fun. It has health benefits. I don't sleep around, and i've only had sex with one guy, and it was something special, and I don't regret it. It's like...as a virgin, you don't crave sex. Well, maybe you do, but I'd think so much more after you have sex, and then stop having it, and I think that's probably a reason people sleep around. Yea, true, there are guys who keep tallies and do it for fun, but it's more than that for other guys. Sometimes it's just for physical satisfaction. I'll admit, I've thought about sleeping with friends. Not like wondering what it'd be like, but actually considering it. It depends on the friend. I have a friend who I've known for 12 years, who's more like a brother, I couldn't do that, that's gross. But then I have other friends who I've known for highschool who would take it for what it is-two people who are attracted to eachother who want sex-and I could do that. i'm cool with that. I think it'd be easier for me to do it with a friend, more than with a stranger. Even easier if said friends were exboyfriends, which probably isn't the most emotionally stable thing to do, so you gotta set ground rules, it's risky. But whatever, that depends on you as a person. But personally, I think it's ok to sleep with friends in certain cases.

As for "you slept with her, and her partner, and her partner's partner..." It's so true. That's how people get STD's. Clearly you didn't physically sleep with them, but that's how STD's spread. It's kind of a theortetical figurative thing I guess. I remember there being a graph in my highschools nursing office about that, say you slept with a girl, who slept with a guy, who slept with two girls......you ended up having contact with like 50,000 people. It's crazy.

Sex is human desire. Everyone wants it. Its our nature. Now it is disgusting when guys have an abundance of partners but if they use protection and get checked and the girls know its a one time thing....then more power to them. They won't get near me but I'm sure they'll find another girl who will. As for the sex with a friend, I'm not completely against it. If you both know the boundaries and be safe and know it won't ruin your friendship, go for it. At least its not some random person like some people go for. Its just up to the person though, everyone is different. Depends on the people and the situation.

I honestly cant have sex with a friend. I just think of my friends as brothers and thats a line I never want to cross. Friends are friends and I think that that should be kept that way. The other issue I do agree with you. I dont sleep around because I do cherish what I have. I treat my body like a temple. When girls say that they've slept with over 15 guys and they are not even 15 it kills me inside to know that they use their body like that.

i would not sleep with my friend because of the simple fact that what if we sleep together and than we become weird around each other and than we wont remain as friends we will drift apart. also it would feel weird sleeping with a friend becuase you probably know that person for a long time and than sleeping with them is kinda weird.

No I don't think friends should have sex,that will ruin a friendship real quick in most cases.So why take the chance.
