10 Rules For Sex Without Commitment

Are you thinking about sex without commitment? Then you should set a few basic ground rules first !

1. Rule for sex without commitment

Do not ever sleep together. Sleeping together can give you a false feeling that one of you wants to settle down. When you arrange to meet at your or his/her apartment you should always leave when the sex is over. If you sleep over only once the other person could be offended the next time you decide to go home.

2. Rule for sex without commitment

Cuddle as little as possible. It is best if there is no cuddling and everything is just physical. Cuddling brings out emotions and your friend will then want more from your relationship.

3. Rule for sex without commitment 

Do not allow the other person to leave his or her things in your apartment, for example a toothbrush, underwear, pajamas, etc. Even if your friend tries to convince you that it would be more convenient do not give in.

4. Rule for sex without commitment

Conversations should be trivial. Do not talk about your personal life, your family, love problems or anything deep which could give the other person a feeling that you are opening up and becoming close.

5. Rule for sex without commitment

Pet names are forbidden. Honey, darling, sugar, etc. can give the impression that you actually have true feelings for this person and the names also give a feeling of belonging - when something is yours you can name it.

6. Rule for sex without commitment

Do not spend your spare time together. Movies, dinner and drinks are off because that is what couples do. If your friend really insists on it and wants to meet you outside the apartment then you should meet him or her for a drink, but be sure it is really late in the evening so that you do not stay out together for too long.

7. Rule for sex without commitment

If you go on a real date make sure that there are no condoms lying around, that your sheets are clean and that there are no love bites on your neck.

8. Rule for sex without commitment

Do not forget to use protection. Even if you have sex with the same person on a regular basis you can never be sure if your friend is doing it with someone else, too. Besides, you surely do not want to get pregnant.

9. Rule for sex without commitment

When you use the toilet close the door behind you. Even if you saw each other naked and did unusual things or if you know each other for a long time and you know everything about each other, it is the line that separates strangers from people who are really connected.

10. Rule for sex without commitment

You should not make the arrangement to become friends with benefits when you are drunk. One of you may regret it in the morning and the other one might want something more.
