Is the Friendship Ever Really the Same After Sex?

I am sure that a lot of us have come across this issue. Friends with a guy, become attracted, then Bam! You realize that there is a sexual attraction to one another. What to do? Well, I can say that nothing ever stays the same once that line is crossed. It must be a risk that you are willing to take. I don’t care how many people may think it, but that whole “cut buddy” scenario does not work—not at all. To me, sex is not just sex. My “special friend” and I had our friendship put to the test once we decided to cross that thin line. Personally, I would not have changed a single thing. Our relationship became more serious, we grew more respect for one another.

For myself, I often find myself getting caught up in the moment, then suddenly have to realize he is not my man. Damn, I hate that sometimes. My problem is that I get attached very easily. Although, I know that I am not the type of person that likes to share, so keeping this open was out of the equation. I love my friend dearly and I do not want to be without him. I really wish I had known what I was in for, then maybe I could have prepared for the emotions and anxiety that follow. Ladies, be very careful. It’s hard, as a woman you try not to invest to much time and very little emotion. It seems almost inevitable to not lose sight of the bigger picture. Maybe next time I will learn to say no instead of jumping head first.

Hi. I really enjoyed reading your article. I wonder why you say that you have more respect for each other after. I wonder if it would be the same for me and my best friend who seems to be in a similar situation. Before we agreed that not to have sex in order not to destroy the friendship. Lately however, we have been talking about doing it. Suddenly the friendship just became more of a relationship without any conscious decision on our part. It just evolved. We haven't done it yet because of lack of opportunity and maybe until then or even after, I would be wondering if its the right thing to do. My dilemma is i want to remain friends because friends are forever but relationships are not. .. but maybe its already too late even now..and it seems to be not in my control... yes i've fallen for him.. i don't know if its still just friends for him...
It feels good to write.
