I have been thinking about something. Whats with a lot of people wanting just sex buddies and not a serious relationship? I mean if your 25-30 and older why would you not want a seriuous relationship? And all the std's you can catch also, scary! I am 25 yrs old and now looking for just friends and a serious relationship. I dont mind "casual dating" with a few girls but I would never sleep with everyone I met! Just something I would liek to understand...

Relationships are often difficult, often ending painfully.

Many people seek sex without the risk of heartbreak, and in some cases STDs may look preferable to the mental pain they've experienced.

 

Not my style, but I sure understand.

Just look at how many people post on here DAILY with all the problems they are having with their RELATIONSHIP. There... you have your answer.

These days people don't marry in their late teens/early 20s and stay married until the first one dies. As someone who was married, got divorced and didn't get remarried for a while, I did miss sex if I didn't have a girlfriend. Many people become promiscuous when between relationships but it's never appealed to me. A regular sex buddy sounds like one solution to the problem. Yes, it can cause problems if one of the buddies starts developing real feelings but, as a stopgap between relationships, it can work for some people.

makes sense to me.
