"If both of you are willing to enjoy the sex, texting, and generally wonderful times now, at the cost of potential loss and mourning of the connection later, that is a choice you each get to make. Depending on where he's at in life and what he feels ready to pursue, he may not be interested in looking for a person to have and raise children with yet."
"I am recently divorced with a high sex drive. While I am not ready to dive into the dating scene just yet, I have met someone who, after many conversations, appears to be a good potential friend with benefits situation. Because we have some fundamental incompatibilities long-term (it's related to kids-I'm done, he wants at least one), I wouldn't consider him a serious romantic partner."
A recently divorced person with a high sex drive has met a potential friend-with-benefits who wants children while they do not. The pair share strong sexual chemistry, frequent contact, and enjoyable non-sexual time, prompting ethical concerns about possible complacency and loss for the partner who wants kids. Multiple conversations have occurred, and the partner seeking children believes the arrangement will not impede his fatherhood goals. The choice to continue hinges on both parties' willingness to accept potential future mourning and on the ability to trust the partner's stated intentions and life readiness.
