My Craigslist FWB

How long ago did this hookup happen? 1 year ago

What was your relationship status at the time? Same as current status

How would you best classify this hookup? One time turned FWB

How long did you know the person before this hookup? Just met that day

Tell us about your PARTNER(S). What did they look like? How well did you know them, had you hooked up before? How/Where did you meet them? How did you feel about them before the hookup? The guy I hooked up with was chubby, like myself. Had some scruff, brown eyes and black hair, and was relatively hairy.

How/where did the hookup BEGIN? What led to it? Was planning involved? Who instigated it? We met on Craigslist. We spoke for an hour or so, disclosing likes/dislikes and things like that. I went to his apartment. It was a 5th floor walk-up. He opened the door, we sat on the couch, and he kissed me. Didn’t waste any time. (I was nervous so I kind of liked that.)

What happened DURING the hookup? What sexual behaviors took place (e.g., oral, vaginal, anal, kinky stuff)? How did you feel during it? How did they behave toward you? Were they a good lover? What did you talk about? How did it end? We made out, touched each other for a while…just kind of feeling each other out. Then clothes came off and I went down on him. I gave him head for a while, probably 6-7 minutes, and then he came. He returned the favor, and I went down on him once more before I left. After he finished for the second time, we kind of just put our clothes on and I left.

How sexually satisfying was this hookup? Very

Did you have an orgasm? Yes, one

Did your partner have an orgasm? Yes, multiple

What happened AFTER the hookup? How did you feel about it the next day? What are/were your expectations/hopes for the future with this person? How do you feel about them now? I felt great about this hookup. There are obvious horror stories from things like Craigslist, but this wasn’t one of them. I had no expectations, thought it was a one-time deal, but we wound up seeing each other a few more times. I wish we stayed in touch a bit longer.

What do you think about the Casual Sex Project? I think it’s a great forum for people to open up.
