Sleeping with a friend: is that OK?

One of my absolute best friends is a "paisa" however he lives in Barranquilla where I live too. We`ve been best of friends since the time I moved here from Europe five years ago. However on both sides the feelings are much stronger than just friendship feelings but I can`t really see him as my boyfriend. He knows me way to good for that. What I would like to know is if it`s commen in Colombia that you have a "friend" that you only sleep with and nothing else? Or would that completely destroy a friendship and change the way a man look at you as woman? Also would people start saying bad things about you as a woman if you do that? (Remember that I live on the coast in Barranquilla and people love talking here) I suppose the best thing would be not doing it but humans are weak and I`m definetely one of them. Please any comments would help.

Why do you care if it's common or not? All over the world people have f**k buddies. Who knows, it may screw up your friendship - that really depends on the two of you doesn't it? If you're worried about people talking, keep it on the down low.

Most Colombian guys, like most men, are not going to look a gift horse (a gift pus*y?) in the mouth. Why don't you ask this particular Colombian guy what he thinks of it? Are you worried this is going to devalue your worth to the other Colombianos? If they're looking for a "good girl", yes but let's face it, how many "good girls" are there in Colombia?

I said "good" not good at it. Interesting question however worthy of Platano: can you be a "good" girl and have a f**k buddy?

UTC, Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm not getting into this. I just hope they use a condom.

A Way Of Life That is a completely F*cked question. Why would you want to "sleep" with somebody that you would never consider as a committed partner? Isn't that kind of cheap and sleazy??? That's exactly the kind of crap that turns my stomach when I think about our culture stateside and the complete lack of morals and values that has eroded our society into worthlessness. Being a rock guitarist that has played in several popular bands, I can openly admit to having had plenty of cheap and meaningless encounters and that's why I don't do it anymore. If it's not sincere, honest, and committed, then it's cheap and meaningless. If that's what you want, then why not just come to the USA where it's a way of life?

Sleeping with your friend is the best kind of sex, because you could be completely honest with each other. You could tell her that she was a lousy f--k and laugh about it, it don’t matter. or she could tell you, “you came too soon you bastard”, and call you a "mr. minute man" and laugh about it, but if your girlfriend calls you that, forgetiabbouit, you wanna shoot your nuts off.

I'll get there, when I get there!

Cessi, I'd say no, it's a bad idea, but then again you might already be there sleeping with your paisa friend and this will be too late.
Cheers, and sköt om dig,
Desi

so you only want an sleeping partner.
I think as soon as you sleep with him the close friendship is gone, you still can be friends but no the same as it used to be.

0 SELF ESTEEM If you do not love your your friend then you shouldn't sleep with him. If you do it is only showing that you have a low self esteem for yourself and your relationship as friends will not be the same anymore. It is not worth it....

a grain of salt... Cessi,
I have no idea what the "stereotypical" Colombian guy would think about the situation, but my only advice is to do what feels right and what you WANT to do. Take things you read on this site with a grain of salt, keeping in mind that you are asking a very personal question to a bunch of strangers, who are mostly men. Don't let someone tell you that you are a cheap slut for sleeping with your friend if you don't love him deeply. I personally think that is totally bogus, do what you want to do. But no matter what, those are values and decisions that are personal to you and you're the only one who can really decide. I think looking for good advice online from strangers like this can be really self-destructive, so don't let anyone make you feel bad about your decisions. Good luck.
