Honestly, the fact that you disagree with the article is fine, as is the fact that you have your own opinion on how to maintain a healthy casual sexual relationship. However, I think you may have missed the overall point of the article. What I read was a girl describing how she found herself in this arrangement, acknowledged her feelings, communicated them, and then felt so strongly and so satisfied with the outcome that she wanted to share her experience with her peers, in hopes that it might help someone. She in no way was trying to tell people what to do, nor was she trying to lead anyone down any path that they otherwise wouldn’t be headed. She simply was sharing her story and what she found to be most important. I’ve only had one “successful” FWB in my life, and it wasn’t at all what either of you described. And this girl acknowledges that it may not work for everyone, but encourages us to destigmatize the entire concept citing her own experience as an example of its merit. Personally, I’m too jealous. It wouldn’t work for me. Therefore, as she said, “God bless the vibrator.”
