Is NSA dating possible?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

It was a thread that had just closed that spurred me to put this thought to the forum.

There are the dating sites, and my experience of those 15 years ago, was that exclusivity was expected when dating.

Whereas on Fab, I've noticed a push for just sex. Going out for a few drinks, making an evening of it, can be frowned upon on a sex /swinging site.

Is there a role for something in between? Dating without the exclusivity? What I call NSA dating. Or does having the best of both worlds just not work?

I completely agree that there's definitely a push for just sex. it does seem like a lot of us want the true FWB (going out for drinks, making an evening of it).

I think NSA dating can completely work!

Mr and I are always in disagreement about this.. When he met as a single and alone .. he always likes at least a drink and maybe take them for a meal.. however as good as that made it for the meets... many of these ladies saw the attention as more and got quite put out when they realised it wasn't.

For me its a what do you expect when you do that but its just how he likes to do things. But i totally disagree with it.

Scarlet please don't get me going on the payment issue. For a single chap seeking friendship and great recreational sex the payment thing is now becoming an issue. Three times in a week I have, after exchanging e mails and giving out private contact details been told of the fees. Its not just singletons it couples. The fee issue has only come up in private correspondence so I cannot report to admin. I have just blocked and moved but its becoming a quite regular occurrence.

It can work for some. I was seeing someone who would cook for me at his or we would go for a drink before sex.

It worked because both of us knew it wasn't going anywhere romantic.

I meet two couples fairly regularly. They couldn't be more different. One couple are literally just sex. Hotel room and we fuck for a couple of hours. Other couple I have spent weekends with and-weekends away with. We are definitely more like friends than fuck buddies. And it works perfectly with both.

No, from personal experience I would say it's not possible as after a certain time one or the other person involved would eventually want more, and that would impact on the NSA side of things, making the arrangement unworkable

Its different in the context of a trio. Like you, we've had close friendships in that context, and jealously never comes into, the NSA rule is never broken. But I think that's because it's a trio and not a duo. Ultimately my lovers can't get possessive because ultimately I'm married and therefore not available. The same way I cannot get upset if they see someone else, because being married I am not able to give them more anyway. But it might be more difficult for 2 singles. If both are single the question of more is always there.

Please still report them.

Hopefully Ruggers will be along to confirm it, but although they may not act on unsubstantiated claims, I suspect they do if there are a number of reports from different people and a pattern emerges.

it used to be normal to date loads of guys at once but then dwindle it down to one, not sure why that stopped being normal.

when i was younger i dated loads of guys at once, it wasn't considered normal then either but i didn't care. i was young and liked having a busy life.

Yes I used to enjoy multiple dating when I was younger. Men did get pissed if though, when they discovered they weren't the only ones.

I would be ok with an exclusive FB. It would be nice to find someone who I can connect with, not just sexually, like a kind of semi-occasional-sometimes girlfriend. As already mentioned, it would be nice to arrange to meet, get dressed up and go make a nice evening of it before getting back for some filthy sexy fun, not just a walk in, wham bam and leave kind of thing.

Yea definitely

I have divorced friends on e harmony and match and many if the first opening lines they receive are "wow, great tits", " would love to fuck that arse" and "so what's your favourite position".

Hardly conducive to a serious relationship is it?

I suspect that these sites are full of married guys pretending to be single, or newly divorced guys who simply wish to make up for lost time and fuck their way around the site.

It is a reflection on the way we have moved onto more casual relationshipa in general as opposed to getting too involved too quickly.

But you say exclusive FB. And that's the whole problem. Is it possible to have an occasional gf, FB, FWB or whatever the word is, without the exclusivity. I.e. Have a date one night with someone including sex, but the following week have date and sex with someone else? Or does this sort of thing initiate jealously?

It may be possible, but it's unlikely in our opinion. From people we know who've tried it hasn't worked out. I think for it to work the individuals involved would have to have a unique personality/mindset.

I've been on and off the site for a year, and have always looked for (and got, eventually) repeat meets/FB/FWB situations. I make a point of needing to have more than one at any time to diminish the "relationship" feelings, and would never ask for exclusivity from them either...any FWB have always known about the existence of others. Twice I've had to stop seeing guys this way though...one wanted "more" from me, and another I was hankering after more from him. I'm not averse to a relationship if it transpired that way, but 1. being a single mum I'm *very* fussy about the type of person I'd let into my life properly, and 2. as long as everyone's honest and communicates it's not an issue in my opinion. If the dynamic changes and it no longer works for one of you then just move on, no need for drama.xx

I'd say this pretty much sums me up. Though I don't have multiple partners at the moment just two, one that I see regularly and one not as much.

I love the whole "date" experience and having nights out doing friend things, but I like the benefits too.

I'm perfectly happy with NSA dating, but I do like there to be a connection on a friend level. It makes the benefits so much more beneficial!

I look at people in two categories - friends and sex partners.

My view is that sex and friendship can go hand in hand. I have male friends who I have known for years and are good friends but at some point in time I've had sex with each of them. Sometimes if they're in town they'll pop over, even stay and yes, we'll also have sex but have a lot to talk about both before and after sex. I could easily meet any of them in a social gathering and we could be chatting away like best friends because, well, we're good friends. My relationship with these blokes is pure friendship and we happen to have sex from time to time. Nothing wrong with that in my humble opinion.

I also enjoy sex with multiple partners who I'll meet for sex and we can have a friendly banter (even go out for a drink etc) and that's it. Nothing wrong with that. I won't consider them friends as such we enjoy sex. Some I've met several times some just once and that's it. Whether I go out for a drink first or meet straight for sex depends on my mood I guess.

In the ideal world I'd love an understanding life partner who would enjoy a promiscuous woman by his side. I can never be physically monogamous to one man (but emotionally can be one man's woman). Most don't understand this and get jealous very easily.

That's really crap. Shame you can't get them asking on pm on site so you can report them.

When I say free prostitute I don't mean people should pay via drinks etc, I just mean it's an attitude thing. Expecting a free 'service' and being disrespectful about it rather than mutual respectful fun. Hope that makes sense.

I expect a lot of women do, but don't know about most. I would want that if I were single. Though the question I would have in that situation would be is it easier to achieve NSA dating via a dating site, or is a swinging site the better option.

Also I think a lot of people are actually craving affection or intimacy. They use sex and sites like this as a gateway to that. However most don't even admit to themselves, let alone to other people.

Right away there's an issue of managing expectations.

I suspect that there are different levels of NSA, and if there aren't then people will just move the goalposts to make it so...

what I mean is that something may have started out with the intention of being totally NSA but over time, one or the other person would prefer something a little bit more meaningful...its human nature...we always want what we cant have

"NSA dating is the new swinging."

See this always confuses me. Regardless of who I'm meeting (men, women, couples) I like to have that basis in friendship. I personally find everyone is more relaxed and the sex gets better as you get to know what makes each other tick in that dynamic. I fully appreciate not everyone wants that and everyone's entitled to live their life as they see fit.... but swinging was traditionally exactly that....couples who are friends, and also have sex together.

Yes they do exist but there called friends with benefits when they become a ongoing thing .

For me sex and friendship go hand in hand in fact I'd go as far as to say the high from sex is higher if there is some form of emotional connection for me involved .if that is the case why would a settle for anything less thank FWB in all my sexual activities .

After all if a social meet where a drink is shared conversation is in enjoyed maybe even a light meal can work.

why cant a no strings attached date I.E meet up have a drink together maybe a light meal then retire somewhere private and fuck each others brains out not work but like I said if it’s a reoccurring arrangement between two people it then becomes a FWB arrangement

The thing about dating your play partner that must be understood by both parties is that you will only ever be together with in the dynamic you have created together to serve your sexual needs .

By that I mean both parties have to be content with what they have together and not fixate on what they don’t have together and never will or can have together .

Yes feeling will develop during long term arrangements that ok as long as both parties take responsibility for how they feel and never let such feeling interfere with the dynamic or there life or there partners life with in the dynamics and both there life's away from the dynamic .

You need people who can care unconditionally who also have a grip on who they are and a grip on there own emotional wellbeing if you can find such people then in my opinion a fwb dynamic far out strips random sex with strangers in what it gives those involved .

when it comes to sex as in my experience emotional investment in ones lovers delivers from greater sexual fulfilment and pleasure than sex with out any such emotional investment.

As I said earlier a higher high from the sex i.

But like I said you need the type of people who are emotional strong self-assured and can also compartmentalise certain aspects of there life .

trust me such people do exist I know because I am enjoying a open FWB dynamic with three such magnificent sexy self aware people as I type this .

Yes, I think it depends on the dynamic between two people, not the repetition or whether or not you have a drink or a meal together. With some people I can be deeply involved before we even meet and with others it doesn't matter how much I meet them, nothing further will develop. They each have their relative benefits.

We're another couple who come from a friends with benefits angle. It seems from our experience most swingers are into sex on demand, using others as sex toys. We prefer a more date-like approach that goes the extra mile to flirt seduce and connect with our playmates. But this seems to be more popular with singles than couples, who, in our view, often seem to sacrifice a higher quality erotic experience either out of fear of it or because they're too busy. We feel there's a space between mechanical sex with strangers and polygamy... somewhere more adventurous and "spiritual" (i.e affectionate and connecting) but still with good boundaries. To be fair this probably isn't NSA... more like FSA (friendly strings attached)... so it's probably something of a niche for those of us willing to give it a try

Totally agree..me and a guy off here seen each other nearly every day for a few weeks..buying me flowers etc telling me he was falling in love with me..then last week said he didn't want to see me anymore..deleated his account

so I'm assuming a gf or something..not impressed as I genuinely liked him.

My fwb was lovely...flowers,chocs, surprise pressies, holiday together in Jersey.. Thenwhen we met with another guy for mmf he became jealous and didn't want me to play..it transpired he was falling in love and didn't want to share me...so - as they say in dragons den - I'm out.

That sounds great, we've done something similar and would love to again.

You lucky things

We're still quite new to the scene so it's more of a mission statement than anything we've actually done

But it's good to find others like us

There is the risk of being friend zoned

Being friend zoned by me is a good place to be as it means I want to fuck you

"I think many people see fb as like a free prostitute situation. Not all..

FWB would be more what you describe.

Good communication can solve any issues.

Oh my word!!

When we meet for a social I always insist of buying a round of drinks.

This is disgusting as some on here are vulnerable & likely to give in"
I am vulnerable ..............!!!

But isn't that always the risk when the women fall into the out-dated stereotype of being bought gifts, dinners and holidays? It may not even be jealousy, but a sense of entitlement for payment rendered. Isn't it far safer just to consider yourselves two adults both seeking sex and companionship for its own sake?

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's posts on this thread and seeing the many different ways people approach this issue. Many well-written and thought-provoking posts.

To the OP, I would like to point out that for many millennials non-exclusivity is actually the default when dating, unless arranged/discussed otherwise. Just the other day I saw a local lad's status update saying he got more sex meets off regular dating sites than off fabs

Also I think more and more people these days are experimenting with alternatives to the couple-happy-ever-after script! Be it FBs, FsWB, sexual friendships, play partners, swinging even. The latest trend in poly-style nonmonogamy is where people are not looking to pair-bond at all, but rather looking to build multiple relationships while retaining most/all of their independence (AKA solopoly - this can sometimes look indistinguishable from single status).

I friend zone people all the time, some of whom I would still take a tumble with
