      Does it really matter? 

      It sounds like it's done already so the question is meaningless.

        I am stunned that the question is even asked.  My question is, why would you feel that it would be ok?  Have we as a culture gone so far afield that we've lost sight of something as simple as that?

        I'd pretty much say it isn't OK, and it isn't too smart either; because this so-called friend pretty much seems like a sleazy and misguided friend to boot.

        Off course it is not okay!  Why would it be okay to hurt someone and even if this other woman does not know she was hurt.

        only if this friend is in a open relationship with his girlfriend, then i guess that would be okay, as it's your choice.  however, if not, then I would say no.  it's never good to be involved in a situation like that, as any guy that says, "relationships aren't meant to last" might do the same thing to you once you get together with him.

        A better question would be: Why would someone undermine their own self worth with someone who never intends to give them a real relationship? Is the sex really worth it?

      How much do you understand the word "integrity"?

      If you have no understanding of that word, then by all means, look it up before you decide to sleep with someone who is supposedly in a relationship.

      This should be a warning sign to you about your friend's integrity, let alone a wake up call to you about your own.

      Just a thought. smile

      How would you feel if the person you thought you were in a relationship with suddenly told you they had been having sex with someone else, and what they had with you wasn't meant to last?

      If you are going to be non-monogamous, at least be ethical about it.  Which is another way of saying, unless all the romantic partners of the person you want to have sex with know about it and are okay with you having sex with that person, don't do it.

        Well said relache,  If your a swinger and run in a crowd of swingers than it's a go.  But the population in general (non swingers) don't like swapping or sharing and take great offense.  If everyone is okay with it and informed.

        No one can be okay with something if their not informed and given a choice...

      We all make our own choices and must live with the consequences.
      It is not anyone else's responsibility to make your choice for you nor is it their right.  Ultimately you know what is wrong and what is right and it is up to you to choose what you wish to do.

      Strange that someone would ask such a question. I would say that sleeping with a friend would be okay if they weren't in another relationship. Sometimes friendships blossom between uncomitted adults.

      Relationships work if both people have love and respect in their hearts for each other. Therefore casual sex is not a good idea with friends partners-it damages respect and hurts people when they realise they have been cheated.

      sometimes things happen we let them when maybe we shouldn`t but we learn from it.

      If he is the one in a relationship & your not, he is the one in the wrong.
      morally you probably shouldn`t do it knowing his in a relationship but you cant be blamed for his actions.

      This is the sort of stuff that causes people to kill others! If this person is in a relationship then he is cheating... and if you are sleeping with this person, knowing he or she is in a relationship then that makes you a home wrecker!

      As humans we should learn to have a little respect for others, and most of all ourselves. How can you respect yourself if you are sleeping with someone elses mate? How would you feel if you were in a relationship and later on you find out they had cheated on you with someone who you thought was just a "friend". After you have a sexual relationship with this person they become more than friends... you become "lovers".

      This is immoral and wrong! Remember, what goes around comes around! What you do will come back to haunt you! Good luck with that one!

        Excellent point, most people know the answer before they ask the question, they are just thinking out loud.

        And no it’s not all right unless all parties are aware and understand, even then there are other unanswered questions.

      First of all, why would you want to sleep with someone that's in a relationship? Second,why are you even considering sleeping with your "friend"? Third, how would you feel if it was your bf sleeping with his so called friend? This sounds like a bad idea waiting to happen. People get hurt over mess like this! Don't do it!

      As they say everyone has the right to be heard under a "fair judge." Were you sober at the time of the act? If yes, what prompted you to perform the act? Did the act interest you in any way? And if Yes, do you intend to do it again? These are the questions you have to wonder about? How ever much we might say, they could all fall on dead ears.

      By the look of things, you are up to for the next episode.

        Very philosophical point of view. I just wonder respectfully: where do a person's emotions come into play here? Especially a womans, as we all know men and women feel quite differently about sex.
        However, there is a certain beauty to your words...

      It's probably ok to sleep with a friend when both of you may realized that you have feelings for each other. But definitely NOT ok if there's a gf or bf involved while you're doing it.
      You have already made the situation complicated by sleeping with your friend, more so if you you're going to be the third wheel.

      If both of you are free and single consenting adults, I guess it is ok.  But if either of you, or both of you, are involved with someone else, then that is cheating and might cause you a relationship or your marriage.  What we see on television is not real.. people get hurt.  I don't like being hurt, so I won't do something that might hurt someone else on purpose.

      Have a nice day,
