Single? Why you need a friend with benefits

Maybe you've been single for a while now and you're in the mood for a new love, but you're not really looking for a relationship with a capital ‘R’. As in: the pleasures, but not the burdens. Yes, women also want sex without emotions sometimes. Hey, we have our needs too and we should be able to admit that. The solution? Get a fuckbuddy aka friend with benefits.

Just to be clear: a fuckbuddy is someone you have sex with for fun. Sometimes it's someone you meet through a Tinder date, sometimes you've been friends for a while. You're not relationship material for each other, but because of the enormous sexual electricity crackling between you, one thing is clear: sex needs to happen. Considering getting a friend with benefits? LotteLust tells you the benefits of a sexual relationship.

Ego boost

If you're still heartbroken from your previous relationship and your self-confidence has almost hit rock bottom, a friend with benefits is more than welcome. Why? Because this person works wonders for your ego. He/she tells you how beautiful and sexy you are, what a beast you are in bed. And your friend shows you how intense the desire is. His/her mission is to please you. Wonderful, right?

Side note: it can give an ego boost, but of course, you should also be able to find your self-confidence without a middleman. How to become confident in bed.

No muss, no fuss

While you hear your girlfriends complaining about their relationships: one never helps with the household, the other doesn't make time for a date night, you can lean back contentedly. No talking about your problems, or tasks that need to be divided. No relationship, no hassle.

In the best case, those ‘relationship problems’ never arise and you peacefully ‘break up’ someday. Unfortunately, that often only happens in Hollywood movies. How can it work instead? These scientists have the answer.

Skills

Your sexual relationship is perfect for improving your sex skills. You can try out new positions or refine your sexual abilities with this buddy. You'll notice that you can let go more, because you only have physical interest in each other. No fantasy and no experiment is too crazy.

No obligations

No in-laws to meet, no sports events you have to attend. In short: you can continue to live your life just as you did before. You reach out when you feel like it, and if not, then not. Don't feel like talking? No problem. You and your fuckbuddy share just one thing and that is: great sex. And it's that simple.
