I’m in an open relationship, and sometimes I’m really horny and bae is busy, so having a FWB would be nice. But a couple of things are putting me off.

1. I hate first dates. They make me nervous. I get anxious when sleeping with someone for the first time, too. So I won’t actually enjoy having a FWB until we’ve gotten past those stages.

2. My past experience with FWBs has been more high maintenance than what I’m looking for. They always wanted a weekly date night kind of deal. I’m more looking for like once a month

Is it worth the bother? It’s really only when I’m ovulating – one week of the month – that I get sexually frustrated. The rest of the time bae keeps me satisfied

  1. You could always join a dating app like tinder or something and make it clear in the profile that you’re looking for ONLY fwb? I’m not sure if you’ve tried this or not (I personally haven’t) but I have friends who prefer this method to going on actual dates because it feels less personal.

  2. talk to bae, and explain about your ovulation and horniness. Idk, call it a happy sex days, or a horny tigress days, or im-all-yours days or whatever. A name to help them rember, but a playful one, so that they wouldn’t feel the pressure of duty

    or buy a toy

  3. FWB is always a complicated situation. I used to have one in my 20’s that I could get sex from when I wasn’t getting it elsewhere, but it’s much easier to navigate FWB when single.

  4. >It’s really only when I’m ovulating

    That would seem like a reason to give pause and stop and think about things.
