How would you best classify this hookup? Friends-with-benefits

How long did you know the person before this hookup? For less than a week

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? He was tall, handsome, slightly heavy, great tattoos, a deep gravel voice, creative type who is quick to laugh. We met on Tinder, my only pic was a wasp nest. He was fascinated by that. We chatted and I figured out where he lived by his description, I had hooked up with the person who previously lived in his dwelling! Since it was many years previous we had a good laugh about it.

How/where did the hookup BEGIN? What led to it? Was planning involved? Who instigated it? We had a great convo about what we were looking for. We seemed to agree on the terms and met for lunch a few days later then went back to his place.

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 are both kinky and we got right into it. Oral on both of us, anal, spanking, choking. We talked before and after about what we liked and how to improve. I felt good, we had great communication and were a good physical match. He was considerate and respectful before during and after

How sexually satisfying was this hookup? Very

Did you have an orgasm? Yes, more than 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? Well, it went on for a while. 8 months or so. He was “busy” all the time which felt like a rejection since I’m a full-time single Mom who has little free time. He texted me nearly daily and I felt like we were truly friends with a great arrangement. It lasted until I realized that he was seeking others which would have been ok if he told me. I was under the impression we were exclusive but not committed. Since we communicated so often I felt close to him. We talked about our lives in an honest open way. I miss him but know it was best to end it due to his lack of forthcoming honesty.

What are your thoughts on casual sex more generally, the role it has played in your life, and/or its role in society? What would you like to see changed in that regard? Sex can be a beautiful intimate experience but it is a primal urge for procreation. I do feel empowered as a single woman to be able to make the coices I do. I don’t talk about it much because of the social stigma. I’d like to see a change in attitudes towards women and their sexual choices

What do you think about the Casual Sex Project? It’s great! Keep it up
