It can be someone who you would never date&nbsp;for various reasons (he rides a motorcycle, he eats crackers in bed, he&rsquo;s a Republican, etc., etc.), but whom you nonetheless love getting <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">naked<\/a> with on occasion.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of&nbsp;advantages to maintaining&nbsp;a friend with benefits &mdash; also known as a&nbsp;<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">fuck<\/a> buddy or FB,&nbsp;for those who prefer not to use the &ldquo;F&rdquo; word in polite company. They provide&nbsp;company, they&rsquo;re pleasant&nbsp;to look at (at least according to you, but probably not your friends), and they&rsquo;re <a href=\"http:\/\/www.queerty.com\/study-finds-bumping-uglies-with-strangers-can-be-good-for-your-mental-health-20140626\" target=\"_blank\">good for your mental health.<\/a>&nbsp;Most importantly, their very existence in your life&nbsp;all but guarantees you&rsquo;ll get laid.<\/p>\n<p>But the definition of FB also connotes impermanence. That&rsquo;s what makes it so darn exciting, getting the most out of him while he lasts. So what happens when your interest in you FB finally goes limp?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are a few ground rules for breaking up with your&nbsp;booty caller&hellip;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp\/docs\/2014\/10\/Screen-shot-2014-10-31-at-1.26.33-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp\/docs\/2014\/10\/Screen-shot-2014-10-31-at-1.26.33-PM-360x250.png\" alt=\"Screen shot 2014-10-31 at 1.26.33 PM\" width=\"375\" height=\"261\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>RULE&nbsp;#1: Ask yourself: Why am I breaking up with him?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Getting laid on a&nbsp;regular basis is a&nbsp;good thing.&nbsp;So before you break it&nbsp;off, take a moment to ask yourself why you&rsquo;re dumping him. We&rsquo;ve seen too many perfectly good FB lost for no good reason.<\/p>\n<p>Is the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">guy<\/a> you are dating insisting you get rid of him?<\/p>\n<p>Do you fear&nbsp;growing emotionally involved?<\/p>\n<p>Or have you simply lost interest? Generally speaking, FBs have a famously short life expectancy before you are onto the next one.&nbsp;(With no hard feelings, of course.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp\/docs\/2014\/10\/Screen-shot-2014-10-31-at-1.25.41-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp\/docs\/2014\/10\/Screen-shot-2014-10-31-at-1.25.41-PM-360x307.png\" alt=\"Screen shot 2014-10-31 at 1.25.41 PM\" width=\"325\" height=\"279\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>RULE&nbsp;#2:&nbsp;Have a plan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve determined why you&rsquo;re dropping&nbsp;your&nbsp;FB, and you are doing it for the right reasons, you&rsquo;ll need to come up plan for doing it as gracefully as possible. Here are four&nbsp;tried and true breakup techniques:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. The clean break<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This usually happens when you&rsquo;ve entered into a romantic relationship with another person and the two of you have decided to become exclusive. Time to dump the FB.<\/p>\n<p>In this situation, it&rsquo;s polite to let your <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">boy<\/a> toy&nbsp;know of your recent change in relationship status. A&nbsp;quick, friendly email will suffice. It can say something simple like: &ldquo;Hey, remember that <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">guy<\/a> I told you about? Well, we&rsquo;ve decided to take our relationship to the next level. I just wanted to let you know.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Easy, breezy, and polite. And it has the advantage of being somewhat true. And your FB will understand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. The&nbsp;long, mutual goodbye<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is when you just sorta naturally&nbsp;stop seeing one another over a period of time. Instead of once a month, your liaisons dwindle down to once every two or three months. Then once every six months. Then once a year. Until one day it dawns on you&nbsp;that&nbsp;you&nbsp;haven&rsquo;t spoken to him since last&nbsp;February. And you haven&rsquo;t missed him, either.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. The passive aggressive blow off<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is when the goodbye isn&rsquo;t mutual. You&rsquo;re no longer interested in continuing, but he is. And so he persists in&nbsp;sending you increasingly urgent&nbsp;texts asking&nbsp;to&nbsp;get together. Rather than simply telling him the truth, you take the easy way out, responding&nbsp;with vague, non-committal responses. &ldquo;How&rsquo;s it going, sexy?,&rdquo; he writes.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Fine&rdquo; is your unenthusiastic response.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m in your &lsquo;hood&rdquo; he writes the next day, suggestively.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s cool.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Want to get together?&rdquo; he finally suggests<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Busy. Maybe this weekend. I&rsquo;ll <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">call<\/a> you.&rdquo; And then, of course, you never do.<\/p>\n<p>This back-and-forth carries on for a few weeks before eventually he gets the hint and stops messaging you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. The&nbsp;straight up&nbsp;break up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every now and then&nbsp;you may find yourself confronted with&nbsp;a FB&nbsp;who just&nbsp;won&rsquo;t leave you alone. You haven&rsquo;t responded to any of his e-mails in weeks. You&rsquo;ve ignored every single phone <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">call<\/a>, text message, and voicemail for the past&nbsp;month. Yet he persists.<\/p>\n<p>What&rsquo;s a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">boy<\/a> to do?<\/p>\n<p>Well, you&nbsp;could&nbsp;continue ignoring him until even he eventually&nbsp;gives up. (Though from our experience this could take&nbsp;weeks, even months.) Or you could lie and tell him you have a boyfriend. (Though&nbsp;this might simply lead to another proposition.)<\/p>\n<p>So your best bet is to do the grown-up thing and&nbsp;formally&nbsp;break up. This means calling him, telling him you&rsquo;re no longer interested in hooking up, that his behavior borders on stalking,&nbsp;and that he needs to stop contacting you. Yes, it will be awkward. Yes, you&rsquo;ll probably feel like an asshole afterwards. But sometimes it just needs&nbsp;to be done.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp\/docs\/2014\/11\/9214126.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp\/docs\/2014\/11\/9214126-360x239.jpg\" alt=\"9214126\" width=\"360\" height=\"239\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>RULE&nbsp;#3: It&rsquo;s OK to&nbsp;relapse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unlike when you accidentally hook&nbsp;up your&nbsp;ex-BF in a moment of weakness, getting together&nbsp;with your ex-FB after you&rsquo;ve broken up is totally fine. (Assuming&nbsp;he&rsquo;s not a stalker.)<\/p>\n<p>You may not have spoken to one another in a year or two or even ten, then one day you&nbsp;run&nbsp;into each other at the grocery store. He&rsquo;s looking mighty fine&nbsp;these days. You exchange numbers again. And, come Saturday, the two of you are rolling around in the sheets for &ldquo;old time&rsquo;s sake.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the best part about having an FB&nbsp;(aside from the obvious) is that you get to <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">call<\/a> the shots&nbsp;as you see fit. You can break up,&nbsp;get back together, break up, and get back together again as often&nbsp;as you want, and it&rsquo;s no big deal. The real rule is that there are no real rules. So long as you are&nbsp;both getting what you want, anything goes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp\/docs\/2014\/11\/Abercrombie-and-Fitch-101-Models-in-Paris-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp\/docs\/2014\/11\/Abercrombie-and-Fitch-101-Models-in-Paris-7-360x240.jpg\" alt=\"Abercrombie-and-Fitch-101-Models-in-Paris-7\" width=\"416\" height=\"277\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>RULE #4:&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Don&rsquo;t Dump FB #1 Without Having FB #2 Lined Up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But that goes without saying, right?<\/p>\n<p><b>Related stories:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.queerty.com\/midsummer-night-flings-six-tips-for-taking-up-a-gay-lover-in-august-20140808\">Midsummer Night Flings: Six Tips For Taking Up A Gay Lover In August<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.queerty.com\/how-to-exit-gracefully-after-a-one-night-stand-20141028\">How to Exit Gracefully After A One Night Stand<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.queerty.com\/the-10-best-songs-about-gay-sex-20140328\">The 10 Best Songs About Gay Sex<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Graham Gremore is a columnist and contributor&nbsp;for <\/em>Queerty<em> and <\/em>Life of the Law<em>.&nbsp;Follow him on&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.queerty.com\/www.facebook.com\/grahamgremore\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/grahamgremore\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?a=CD0APDnDfCg:rQj4ybjjYHI:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?a=CD0APDnDfCg:rQj4ybjjYHI:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Graham Gremore<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/queerty2\/~3\/CD0APDnDfCg\/rules-for-saying-goodbye-how-to-break-up-with-your-fk-buddy-20150120\" class=\"autohyperlink\">feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/queerty2\/~3\/CD0APDnDfCg\/rules-for-saying-goodbye-how-to-break-up-with-your-fk-buddy-20150120<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rules For Saying Goodbye: How To Break Up With Your F**k Buddy Urban Dictionary defines a&nbsp;friend with benefits as &ldquo;Two friends who have a sexual relationship without being emotionally involved.&rdquo; It is someone you can get away with&nbsp;drunk texting on Friday night from a bar after your fifth cocktail.
