It’s OK to Keep Things Casual

Not every casual connection needs to escalate to a romantic one.

Sometimes, friends with benefits can STAY friends with benefits long-term, because that's the dynamic that is most compatible for the people involved. If everyone is genuinely happy, nothing needs to change!

Fun fact: I have a friend with benefits who I've been seeing for 8 years - longer than any of my romantic relationships! My FWB is my FWB because we're not romantically compatible, but that doesn't mean we have to throw out the baby with the bathwater. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

When you let go of the idea that every sexual connection has to become romantic and just learn to appreciate a dynamic for what it is, your connections will feel so much more authentic and rich.
