Sex Friend: Definition, Benefits, and Tips for a Healthy Relationship | Gay Dating

What is a Sex Friend?

A sex friend is a friend with whom you have sex. It’s a hybrid relationship, halfway between a fuck buddy and a couple.

What is the difference between a Sex Friend and a fuck buddy?

Unlike a fuck buddy, there’s a real complicity; you share things, you can go for a drink or see a movie without necessarily ending up in bed. But unlike a couple, there’s no commitment, no romantic feelings. It’s a relationship based on sex and friendship, without the constraints of living together.

What are the advantages and risks of a Sex Friend relationship?

The advantage is freedom: you can see other people, you don’t have to account for your actions. The risk is that one of you develops feelings and the situation becomes complicated.

How to manage a Sex Friend relationship?

It’s important to be clear from the start about each person’s expectations to avoid misunderstandings. It’s a relationship that requires maturity and good communication.

The Sex Friend in the gay context: gay sex buddy

A sex friend is a sex buddy. A sex buddy is a friend with whom you do more than just roll in the hay, such as going out for sports, going to the cinema, having drinks, etc. With them, you’re not looking to fall in love. You enjoy spending good time as you would with any friend, with the added sex component that isn’t necessarily a priority.

Where to find a gay Sex Friend?

A sex friend is someone with whom you can also have sex in cruising spots. This allows, for example, two tops or two bottoms to “hunt” together. Very often, two sex friends meet around a common activity, a passion, or even a fetish. There’s always something that brings them together.

Sex Friend vs. recurring fuck buddy: the distinction

You can’t call a guy you see for recurring fuck buddies a sex friend if it’s in a no-strings-attached context and there’s nothing else going on. The most common theme that brings them together is sports: at the pool or in the gym, it allows them to meet for quick encounters in showers, toilets, and changing rooms, at least initially. Very quickly, they can start meeting outside their sports activities for drinks or other things.

Is there an age to have a Sex Friend?

There’s no average age to have a sex friend: everyone is likely to want to find a sex buddy. It’s the exact opposite of those looking for direct plans and no-nonsense encounters. So if you want more than just simple fuck buddies, don’t hesitate to suggest becoming sex friends!
