No Strings Attached - A term that means no other conditions (other than sex) is implied! A No Strings Attached relationship is different from a one night stand. A one night stand is just that. You do the do ONCE and leave it at that. No Strings Attached is when you agree that you both want a sexual relationship that will continue beyond one night, but will turn into anything more than sex. But is this really possible? I recently watched the movie "No Strings Attached," and started thinking about if it was really possible to have a No Strings Attached Arrangement! This has also been a topic amongst my friends (guys and girls) and I for a while. We are kind of split down the middle. Some say of course it's possible,you just have to have rules to it and a cut off date when the arrangement ends, after all it's only sex. Others say, hell no it's not possible. Sex is an intimate thing that changes how people feel toward each other especially if it's with the same person on a regular basis. At some point during your arrangement you guys are gonna find something you like about each other that connects you and somebody's going to catch feelings. Some of my friends are like me and are not sure if they think it's actually possible or not.
I'm not actually sure if I think it's possible or not. I still question certain things like if it's different for a man than it is for a women? How long can you have this arrangement before somebody does catch feelings? What if one person wants to stop and the other doesn't then what? Can you have a no strings attached arrangement ONLY if you are both single, how does it work if only one of you are in a relationship? I'm just not sure which side I can agree with just yet. So even though I'm not sure if I believe that a No Strings Attached arrangement is possible without things getting complicated, I do however think that if both people can handle the situation it can be a very exciting thing!
No Strings Attached.......Is it Possible?
Ahh, the eternally debated topic of no strings! I've never actually had one of these relationships, but I've always kind of thought it could work if both people agree up front that that's all it is. I think it's much more common that things get tricky and it doesn't work out, but I do think it's possible. However, your questions got me thinking. I think in general it is different for men and women and that if it goes on long term somebody's bound to catch feelings. To your other question, it may work best if both people ARE in a relationship. Then, presumably, all or most of your other needs are being met by the person you're in the relationship with and it's easier to draw the line at sex with #2. ???
ReplyDeleteIt's tough! I'm thinking it all depends on the person. Some people have to be attracted to something about a person before they can even have sex. This to me would already make it complicated because if it's something about a person that you are already attracted to and the sex in MIND BLOWING! Oh Lord, we have a problem. Someone is for sure going to catch feelings.
ReplyDeleteThen you have the people where sex to them is just sex. So this would be a case where feelings may not come into play and no strings attached may work out perfect for them.
So basically I'm back at the same conclusion......It would depend on the people involved and the situation.
There is no such thing as "NSA" .... For one you cant define a relationship as "NSA" because feelings most times either go unknown untiled questioned or unknown until challenged ... And most ppl lie and deny the true matters of the heart .... Jus My thoughts .....
