Free Love: Having Friends with "Benefits"
By Marylaine Louise Viernes

This time, I want to do without the usual monotonous articles. Also, I want to be a little less biased when it comes to directing my audience’s thoughts. This time, you shape your own opinion, and thus I’ll simply provide you- Girls & Boys (and those in between), a self-explanatory paradigm when it comes to free rides when it comes to love- and decide for yourself.

BENEFITS OF HAVING FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS

DISBENEFITS OF HAVING FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS

MALE

You satiate the beast inside you for free- without commitment, without cash out, without anything afterwards.

You’re the MAN! Ladies are after you that they’d give anything to have you. Reputations differ from that of females…

You gain experience, I guess?

STD… possibly if you’re lucky, it could even be HIV.

You might break some girl’s expectant heart… you might send the wrong signals to the wrong girl… or from “Big Daddy,” you can be JUST DADDY a few months after.

Your conscience, dude! It might kill you

FEMALE

You also satiate the beast inside you for free- although this doesn’t apply to the whole women population as studies show that 85% of women will not have sex without love and commitment.

You gain experience if you want to have a career as a hooker or a Paris Hilton clone.

You lose weight, as you burn calories in love making. Damn, so you wouldn’t rather hit a gym?

STD… HIV… HPV…cervical cancer… early pregnancy and all the other hassles.

But no hassle can compare to the emotional turmoil you’ll meet soon afterwards. Because studies show that women subconsciously attune love with sex, and therefore you’d expect a lot more from your boy, and then when he makes it clear that all he want is your body and not your soul… it can really shatter your spirit, if not your life!

Reputation of being “Best friend ng Bayan… na laging nandiyan kung kinakailangan…”
