Have you had FWB relationships?

This topic was created in the Taurus forum by SunTauVenGem on Thursday, August 15, 2013 and has 22 replies.
We bulls are very possessive and sensual lovers.
Can you really survive casual sex with a woman/man knowing he/she may be seeing/dating others at the same time?
I'm a taurus sun/venus in gemini ...with my moon in Aquarius ! I sometimes think like man when it comes to sexual contacts not that i have been with tons of men...but what happened with my last relationship was that i somehow ended up in a relationship for 2.5 years with a virgo who I wasn't really inlove with
(only to find that out later) I did not like to share.. so it became exclusive right away..which then turned into a longterm relationship.
It was my possessive nature and whats mine is MINE !
So, my question to you bulls are ! ..Have you ever had casual sex...and strictly sex only ??? Does it even work for us taurus slowwwwwwww bulls???
I like the taurus sun and venus in gemini... his moon is in leo though... I am too afraid to enter into such encounter as i don't want it to turn into another few years of relationship or more only to realise afterwards that i should have not gone there in the first place...! we are committed lovers...and i don't see we see casual sex as attractive....I'm curious to see how taurus men see this ?!?
We also work together so there's a big RISK involved .... I don't think we can work out as a couple long term..( not that he's asking me out anyway!) ..but he can be a little dominant ! i think he wants a girl who he can come home to every night....have tons of babies ! ..I am very independent and i don't think i will let him lead...so what are your thoughts? i know two bulls make long lasting relationships...but in this circumstances..it can get messy !!!
i can already see him being possessed over me ! and we have not even slept together ! ! thoughts????

i shot myself in the foot before it ever began. too possessive and jealous. Tongue


!! we work together and i do sense that he noticed me...having a little flirt with another guy at work ! I used my taurus charm you see ! ...
How is this going to work out ! we just broke up from previous relationships as well and we work together ..
ONe night i was kind of walking around trying to find out only to see him joining up 5 hot girls ( part of his work ) ! ...i walked away sad...!!!
He's also charming...attractive...where i'm very similar...popular too...we both are ! so how is that going to go down !
First night we spent together ( no sex ) he asked me if i do this with two of my male friends as well !! ?! ..( possessive already???) seriously...!

My Taurus friend and I are in something similar minus the sex, which bonding on other levels is probably more dangerous smh.
Anyway we've been arguing a bit lately. I pissed him off, then he really pissed me off but Ive been finding myself doing something different...actually talking and trying to smooth it out..
I told him yesterday I didnt want him to feel cheated...and he replied too late.
My biggest issue is that I want him to direct and take control of what we have going on. I cant say i want a relationship right now, but i do think we could make it forever...i just want to know if he's on the same page. With him saying he feels cheated though, i wonder if he's looking for me to direct things? Or make it official? He wont talk about it.
He is a Taurus with a gemini venus and cancer mars. I always figure he's out looking for plan Bs or heck, maybe plan a's. Him saying too late makes me feel he's possibly moving on though *sigh*
Idk what you all can do. One day I think he'd do the Fwb thing JUST fine, other days I feel he can do much better than dealing with me and my emotional hangups...like he'd make the perfect boyfriend and husband to someone thats more intune with his emotions and sensitivity.

FWB is definately not in my priority listing unless other circumstances allow it too. In my case we Both just became single and work together. We like each other no doubt but he never initiated contacts. He's a typical slowwww old fashioned kind of bull. He does not even have a laptop. We have not done anything sexually physically smile but I know I can lead us into it if I initiate. However he's stubborn as hell n I know it will be in his own time. I don't think it will work for us because there is already emotion involved... Us sharing the same Venus in Gemini.. I am scared the attractions will die down quickly

I've mentioned my Taurus friend and her Scorp/Sag cusp hubby before. Not a fwb, but he was cheating and they decided to try an open marriage.
She was miserable and only agreed as a save the marriage type thing. Told him she couldn't do that anymore. Recently, she found out he was still cheating or, at the very least, trying to.
I don't think fwb is something she would ever agree to in dating, but her need to save her marriage has caused her to make all kinds of concessions. It's her resolve that makes me think they'll make it the long haul.
If she doesn't kill him first.

I think it's killing her that her hub is cheating! We will do whatever it takes to save the marriage like any other signs I guess. *sign* we bulls dont deserved to be cheated on! Is he a Scorpio!????

Never been interested in FWB. What's mine is mine. That simple.

There's a casual relationship, and then there's knowing they are dealing with someone else. These are 2 different things. I prefer to move on rather than share anyone. Too messy and not the right feeling. Generally a dealbreaker.

so casual relationships are acceptable for a while ? I still think it will turn into long term relationships regardless ! :s

No FWB for me. I'd rather stay celibate until the next worthy person comes around.
If you do end up in a FWB thing with your Taurus coworker, one of you will likely get possessive and attached. What makes you so sure it won't be you?

it will probably be both of us as I can already see him being a bit possessive.. I'm going to wait untill the time is right so hopefully we can persue something more meaningful when the right time comes.. I figured that we bulls are incable of such things. There will always be feelings n possession involves...*sigh*

I had a FWB....
I was going through a transitional period and I wasn't looking for anything special.
A FWB worked out perfectly.
As hypocritical as it sounds, I did not care to entertain the stories of him and other women (although I was the one who insisted that I wasn't looking for a relationship)...
But once he was able to keep his mouth shut, everything ran smoothly...once I met someone else, his benefits expired....smile

Been in two... The first one lasted a month I Couldn't do it I was possessive and I want to feel like the only queen. The second one lasted a week lmao.... Once he confirmed let's take it real slow but still lived with a girlfriend and called it "complicated" I cut it. Such a pity he was a cancer and treated me like a queen. I definitely saw myself with him but I couldn't settle for being the side piece. That's a no go for tauruses.

I feel the same.

Had them and loved them. I also have Venus in Aries, Mars in Scorpio and Moon in Capricorn. I know, the combo just gives you the warm fuzzies doesn't it! Best one so far is a Taurus man. I think we have the perfect balance of passion, affection, and detachment. I actually went back to him after the married Sag fuckery.


I don't possess my FWB and I don't want to. I'm VERY pragmatic about it. I do prefer them to be single ,as I am, but that's only because I don't want the weight of someone else's broken heart on my hands.


I'd NEVER have an open marriage. The point of marriage is to pledge yourself to ONE person .

I have Taurus friends who have fwbs. Despite their possessive nature, they are good at this. Very very good at it. They know to keep things low key and separate emotions from sex. I would say, other signs can take tips from them. They are THAT good! Surprising right?
Not necessarily surprising because Taureans can be very good at compartmentalizing. Which you'd have to do to achieve satisfaction in a FWB relationship.

Idk Season, I could never have an Fwb. I would get emotionally attached. And I would want to get physically intimate only after an emotional bond has been established.

But yeah, makes sense. I haven't met a Taurus guy who is cold or distant emotionally. So this came as a surprise when I came to know this side of Tauruses!

I agree with you and feel the same. I couldn't be FWB unless I had really deep feelings for someone and I couldn't switch on and off or compartmentaize like some Taureans do. Honestly, I don't know how any astrological sign does it except for maybe Gems. It's not for everybody.

I'm a Gemini and I haven't had an fwb. Maybe all the gems are sleeping with each other. Winking

Sorry sweetie. One of my BFF's was a Gem and she had few scruples sexually, so FWB was easy for her. I guess that's what I was thinking of and not you specifically. Another Gem BFF of mine with a Taurus Mars married young and had five kids. No FWB there. My ex Gem BF moved in with his ex GF while he was seeing me, until I found out about it. There's a twofer.


So you're the loyal, one lover, sort of Gem?

Wow I couldn't agree more with this. And we have a lot of the same placements, except I have a Mars in Gemini.


But yes, I don't possess my FWB either and let them do their thing. IF I ever had a connection with a FWB, you'd be damn sure I'd try to hang on to them and make it a lasting relationship. You're a FWB to me for a reason you know? I prefer them single too, but the ones I've been FWB with tend to have female lovers on the side which I don't really mind. It's nice when they ask me to join in with them Winking


Can't do married open relationships though.

interesting with your Venus in Aries and Moon in Capricorn like me but my Mars is also Aries - where's your Mercury?


this FWB thing - is this a monogamous thing between two or do both parties date others ? I couldn't do that ...

You sound like a sweet soul @Instantkarma. I'm sorry your Taurus BF tried to manipulate you. It hurts because we don't expect that from a lover we trust and trust is the foundation of a successful relationship IMHO.
details
I thought I would loosen my rules on sexual relationships and decided to have a 1 night stand - hottest guy I had ever laid eyes on and so charming, right .... a year and half later, still having it, actually longer than that now but anyway, needless to say, I suck at not taking sex seriously, so I now know FWB anything like that, just not for me.
