I was just kidding with the brag comment.
Aha! I need to date a doctor. Got it.
I read it twice and I’m still hunting the snark.
Also, I don’t see the big breach of the FWB firewall. No unloading about a hard day at work, venting about petty fight with friend or family, request for a loan, etc. Just a different venue for physical intimacy, no special emotional intimacy.
The only difference you note is the absence of alcohol, and then you’re quick to point out that you "don’t normally get trashed. Just enough to take the edge off. " A large portion of alcoholics never get blotto. They just need enough to stay buzzed and removed from what’s going on outside them (and what’s bugging them from the inside).
So yea, I’m suggesting you abuse alcohol to avoid human entanglements, but you still want the endorphin rush from sex. And I’d say the same thing if you were female.
Count me as another who missed the snark in the linked thread. All seems civil enough.
Oh, c’mon, people: he said in the OP he wants this to be “no holds barred!”
Wait. People were being mostly-civil in the linked thread, and they’re being mostly-civil here. Imagine that.
If a thread on this board goes five posts and someone hasn’t got snarky, it probably means the OP is looking for sympathy because a recently-deceased relative or pet. There are a few other snark-resistant topics as well, but only a few. Man seeking romantic advice ain’t one of 'em.
The current “Sex with my girlfriend sucks these days” thread is full of people being jerks to a guy asking for help who may have made some unwise decisions but gives no reason to suspect he didn’t have the best of intentions.
That seems to be par for the course in all relationship threads, though. Everyone who posts for advice on these topics is either a monster or dating/married to one.
Can someone get some links to women asking for advice so we can see if there really is less snark? Although, to be honest, it would have to be insanely tame to have less snark then the OP’s linked thread. The only ones I remember devolved into horrible train wrecks, much like the men’s advice ones seem to.
I think we are dealing with confirmation bias, but I am open to being convinced.
So, this is about cum shots?
So you agree with the OP?
/rimshot
Why is it when someone asks for advice and people don’t tell them what they want to hear, they get upset?
The correct answer is, of course, because the sky is blue.
That is a good example - he didn’t use the most delicate of terms, but it was pretty typical of how these things often go for people to get fixated on that and miss the larger point of his thread.
Now I don’t know if I’m agreeing with the OP or not - I think I’ll need more examples. 
LOL. I here by retract my OP. I work nights, me and some coworkers got together this morning and had a few drinks which eventually led to me posting stupid shit on the internets.
But I digress, it’s been several years since I’ve been dog piled. Maybe I’m due for one. So feel free to flame away. Just be advised, I will not be trying to defend my original OP. It was stupid.
I’ve had a nap since then. I feel better now.
Listen, you pusillanimous pile of puke, there is no pile-on. Your half-assed cock-up of a thread, while interminably lame, is more pitiful than provocative. Because this board does less nasty dogpiles and more puppy toe-biting these days, there wasn’t even any snark in your original wordfart, thus making this poor thread even more pointless. I wasn’t even going to post this, but your puerile LOL that so eloquently introduced your most recent post was akin to the feeling of dread one gets before a bad case of diarrhea. Naturally, everything went to shit, but yet my annoyance remains, like the little dingleberry that could.
Aren’t you just a delicate thing, bless your tender, hyper sensitive soul! How do you navigate the real world?
It’s very hard. I drink a lot to help cope.
Well, then, I’ll go ahead and say that the FWB OP was one of the most depressing I’ve read here. I didn’t even bother responding because of inherent snarkiness no doubt coming out.
Ok, I get it.
But I am NOT apologizing for my “Cat Scan” line.
I think that happens in any relationship between two people; more often in romantic ones since those don’t come with written rules, but you find yourself having to negotiate the rules of the relationship (often without officially doing so) in the most amazing places.
