Fucking your friends...

So, this post got me thinking:

(sorry about the messy link, but I"m still figuring out this whole HTML thing. )

In the comments there was a mention of how bad it would be to fuck your friends. Huh. Howcome no one told me this???? *laugh*

Maybe I've got a very unique group of friends, but....we're ALLLL fucking each other. Or want to. Or talk about it. Or flirt shamelessly and mack on each other all the time as long as the kids aren't around.

I mean, I can curl up next to ANY of my male friends and snuggle in close to lay my head on their shoulder. This is including the ones that I know aren't available to date. No one gets overly jealous because...well, we all respect each other's boundaries. Yeah, we may WANT to screw around, but we won't. We may even tell each other that we want to screw around and joke a LOT about it. But we won't. No need to go pissing off people who trust you when there are plenty of guy friends around who CAN go off in the dark to do...whatever. :)

However, the friendship with the people I am sleeping with (geeze, sounds like it's a cast of THOUSANDS doesn't it??) has not suffered because of it. It's been great, in fact. It's been a fabulous extension of our caring for and about each other. We even *gasp* love each other and proclaim it freely!!! *shock!* *horror!* *giggle*

So, it's really out of my realm of knowledge to have the opinion that one shouldn't be sleeping with friends, even if they are available to do so. (It IS my opinion that one should NOT be sleeping with friends that are NOT available, though.)

I dunno. It's just a differing opinion and it's totally valid. But, it's a 180 from what goes on in my life and in my circle of friends.
