Are Friends With Benefits Worth It?

Me telling you about my high school’s golden age

In adolescence, we do a lot of shit, and one of those is friendship with benefits. Who hasn’t had a hookup buddy who threw the first stone — I had a few and here are some of the lessons I learned about it.

Are friends with benefits worth it? Well, it’s even worth it if you’re willing to break your face a few times.

I’ve been through a lot of irrational anger over this. For example, in my sophomore year of high school, I made one of these friends with benefit, but I was extremely upset when I found out that three weeks later he was dating a girl from another class, and two years older than him.

Imagine my face. I thought that even if it was just a friendship with benefits, we should follow a minimum rule of not “cheating” — But I still hadn’t understood that friends with benefits don’t cheat, they just leave the field to live something real.

I was pretty sad about it for a while. I even stopped going out with my friends because of it — And the worst part: the guy even had the nerve to say that “we were just something casual”.

But not everything is so bad. In the third year of high school I finally found a boyfriend, and the coolest thing: before he was promoted to my partner, he stayed with me as a “friend for benefit” for at least a month and a half.

But then, is it worth having friends with benefits? Well, I will try to be unbiased in my answer — See some points below and draw your conclusions:

Advantages of friends for the benefit

In addition to being a great way to have a partner without having to limit yourself to more responsible commitments, the friendship with benefit has the advantage that you can call your friend at any time and he will be available to answer you.

Friendship with benefits is also very good for those who want to start something more serious, but are afraid to take the first step. That’s more or less what happened to me and my old partner back in my third year of high school.

Another advantage is that you will never be alone and you will always have someone to count on. The problem is if that person is not trustworthy and goes around spreading their secrets around, lol.

Does that give a problem?

You know that guy who was my boon friend sophomore year and I was shocked when I found out he was dating three weeks later with a girl two years older than him and from another class? Well, his girlfriend teased me for a long time — she even threatened to hit me in front of the entire school.

Well, I wasn’t a saint either. So if she came at me I would definitely fight back and smack her in the face lol.

But apart from the fact that a girlfriend can appear in your friend’s life and that you can be considered an enemy to this person, the rest is all easy.

Is it worth having friends for the benefit?

I can’t say if it’s worth it or not. After all, friendship with benefits is practically the same thing as going to a club and sleeping with a stranger — The only difference is that you don’t see the stranger at the club the next day, while your friend…

But if you don’t mind being with someone from your everyday life just for fun, you don’t mind that at any moment you can be replaced by a real girlfriend, or you don’t mind sharing your man with more women, then I see no problem having friends with benefits.

Even though I was very angry in my school days, I didn’t get rid of it. It was the way I used to learn more about myself and my body — And I confess that I really liked it.

Final Thoughts

Well, I consider my experience with this type of relationship to be neither good nor bad. It was a time when I made a lot of mistakes, but it was also a time in my life when I learned the most about myself and the people around me.

I usually say that it’s no use crying over something that happened. It’s just experiences, whether they’re pleasant or not, and that’s what shapes us as we are today — So overall, I’m happy with everything I’ve been through.

Thanks for reading. Have a great day!
