Kits, the older I get, the more I feel the same way. I have never been a "let's snuggle for hours after sex" person because I am too damn hot and need my space. I always have to sleep facing out. I pull away when I sleep, unless it is my tiny old pug girl, who loves to nestle as she chills easily. I like having my space. I like time that is mine. All too often I meet people who want to glom on too much too fast. Or they want to screw around with no commitment at all (as a disease phobe, me no likey. This is just as bad as having a kid sneeze on you in the grocery store IMO. Except it is usually several sneeze sources at once.)
I think I would get married if we could keep separate residences and just have conjugal visits. Frequently.

Anyway, as long as you resolve to be happy and well within your own life, if somebody shows up, then they have to MEET you in that perfection - not destroy it or limit you.

Hate to be blunt and cynical, but "friends with benefits" sounds a bit like prostitution for free.

If both parties are gaining sexual satisfaction out of it, and no money is exchanged, where is the prostitution? Or is the implication that of course only one of the partners is gaining sexual satisfaction out of it, and the other person would naturally want a more committed relationship, or wouldn't be doing it at all, given the choice?
I can understand if you aren't into that, but I don't see the leap from you not wanting that to it being prostitution if people who do enjoy it engage in it.
It's just yet another of the many different ways people can interact with one another, if they choose. It's no more wrong or right than any other sort of voluntary interaction (or lack of interaction).

I have chosen to remain unmarried, and I hear bingos about that a lot (not necessarily directed toward me, usually people ignorantly criticizing someone else in my hearing). The most common are that if you don't marry someone, you're not really committed to them, and that if you find the "right one", you'll want to marry them (sounds a lot like if you find the right one, you'll want to have a baby with them). Marrying someone obviously doesn't prove that you're committed to them... but more importantly, why should that level of commitment be considered a good thing?

Even if it was prostitution I don't see any good reason why prostitution should be illegal. It's your body--if you want to sell it for sexual gratification of yourself or someone else, what's wrong with that? So long as the parties involved are doing it voluntarily and are 18+, what's the big deal?
