The fact that the two of you were having sex without the traditional strings or commitment attached doesn’t mean there’s no need to respect your FWB’s feelings. Make sure he doesn’t wind up blindsided.Assure him you truly do care about him and value his friendship, but that you’re currently at a place in your life where you want to be more serious about gay sex and dating. Make sure you also assure him that you weren’t just using him for casual, easy sex on demand. Then gently explain why in a way that’s honest, but also respectful of his feelings. That said, make sure you assure your FWB that you absolutely still care about your friendship and want it to continue, but – though it was fun while it lasted – the sexual part of things has run its course. It makes sense that you’d want to preserve that part of the equation and that your friend might be worried about losing it too.
If you guys are like most friends with benefits, you probably started out with a strong friendship in the first place. Assure him you still appreciate his friendship.The following tips can help you do exactly that. Whatever the case may be, you know it’s time to end things, but you naturally also want to do it in a way that doesn’t actually destroy a friendship that probably means a lot to you both. Perhaps you’ve met someone else and want to explore a relationship with that person. Maybe you’re developing feelings for the person that you’re just not comfortable with or maybe you’re just not feeling it anymore for whatever reason. However, even really great friends-with-benefits relationships eventually come to an end. Then when you’re horny, you get to enjoy all the benefits of sex without the drama that would usually come with it. You can talk, laugh, and have a good time doing just about anything that strikes your fancy. He’s definitely a friend, so you can totally be yourselves around each other. If you’re a gay man that’s into casual sex, you probably don’t need to be told that a good FWB is worth his weight in gold.
