A few things I don't understand by jmac32here

A few things I don't understand

Why has society taken a vague term like "Freinds with Benefits" an instantly turn it into something sexual?
It's like giving something so very basic a fancy term that can literally describe just about anything.

Seriously sex isn't really a benefit, its a fucking perk. (Yes, the pun was intended)

If you happen to have a buddy you like/trust enough to fuck, why not keep with the simple names like fuck buddies and/or "partners"?

To me, real benefits are not sexual:
They are emotional, spiritual, uplifting.

So a friend with benefits to me is someone I can be close with, and even possibly a bit intimate with. (Obviously not talking about sex here)
Someone I can share comfort in, confide in, and trust with my life.

This friend would be able to help uplift me, both emotionally and spiritually.

Now those are real benefits, not sex.

Taking that into account:
Why has society dropped to such a level where people are no so interested/fascinated by every possible intimate detail they can drag out of another person?
Including trying to get these people to admit their sex lives?

Or even to that regard, take anything vague that these people say and instantly assume its referring to sex?

Seriously folks, thats just creepy.

What someone does in private, whether it is by themselves or with another person, is exactly that. Private.
It doesn't affect anyone beside the people directly involved and is therefore none of anyone else's business.

Obviously, the only time this may require another person knowing about such things is if either of the two involved had a significant other: At this point, the SO needs to know and approve of such things before they even happen. (However, master/pet relations do not really count as such.)

And taking anything vague being said out of context and turning it into "so and so is having sex with so and so" and then taking your own spin on such things is rather stupid, childish, and manipulative - especially if you begin spreading this word or even talking to the possible other person involved about it. Really was not in your place to even allow such assumptions in the first place, much less act on them.

We need to get back to an age of care and compassion people.
Life isn't just about sex.

We should all love one another, and be good to each other.

That being said, I have seen too many instances where couples have had issues due to too many outsiders (sometimes even within the family) getting involved with the relationship in some degree. Obviously with so many hands stirring what should be a pot of only two, there will be issues. These people affected may end up doing things extremely out of character for who they are - that and other factors will then begin to make the relationship unstable. All those extra people have their own reasons for getting involved, and sadly - jealousy and fear tend to be the most common factors for these people.

Again, the relationship is between the couple: not the couple, their friends and family. So getting involved by any degree is not taking this couples' feelings into account and can be considered manipulative as well.

So why can't we just let people be, and let them be happy with each other?

(BTW - There is going to be another post in regards to relationships - especially rebound relationships - and the "heartbreak syndrome")
