Manifesting this energy: Friend sex is the ultimate flex, but it’s also a total vibe check. You know the drill—Netflix and chill, but with your squad. But let’s be real, the internet still thinks it’s a recipe for disaster. Like, literally the worst thing you could do to your friendship. But here’s the hot take: it doesn’t have to be.
The stigma around friend sex is basically a 90s horror movie rerun. You’ve seen the tropes: the locker incident, the public humiliation, the friendship destroyed forever. But stats say two-thirds of women have fantasized about it, and half have even tried it while dating someone else. Sex therapist Sarah Chotkowski calls it “a natural extension of the care and chemistry” in a friendship. Yeah, that’s a mouthful, but she’s not wrong. Queer folks, in particular, often lean into it because platonic intimacy and attraction can coexist—no judgment, just vibes.
So how do you do it without burning your squad? First, own your feelings. Chotkowski says write down your boundaries and expectations like a pact with your future self. Are you looking for a fling, a deeper connection, or just a good time? Then, have the convo with your friend. This isn’t a casual “hey, wanna hook up?” It’s a full-blown chat about what you’re both really wanting. Be sober, be honest, and be ready for any outcome.
Once you’re in, keep the friendship alive. Schedule dates that aren’t all about sex—go thrifting, eat tacos, laugh until you cry. And yeah, STI tests are a non-negotiable. Also, pick someone neutral to talk to if things get messy. Relationships evolve, and sometimes sex is just a chapter, not the whole story.
💫 Have the convo with your friend—be sober, honest, and ready for any outcome.
