"Fuck buddy" is not a new term in the gay world. I think a synonym in the straight world is "booty call."  Yes, straight "fuck buddies" are as described.  It's just that "fuck buddies" in the gay world covers both the booty call and the friend with privileges.  Summary: All men are pigs.  Put two in the same room and sex happening is a definite possiblity.  Just sayin'

I've had gay male roommates in my early 20s. I know this well! You whores (and I say this affectionately) ;-)

It's just a racier way of saying "a lover" or "a play partner" or "a friend with benefits".

In French, we call them un ami érotique (an erotic friend). I like that better as it's not always about fucking ;-)

Done that, been there; my motives for doing so were questionable at times.  The term "fuck buddy" is kind of trashy and smacks of disrespect, both to yourself and the sex partner, but if a lack of respect is what your after don't hide it. Some of the lovers i had continue to be good, stalwart friends.  It is a way to have ones sexual needs met without being insincere about commitment level.  Be sure to follow safer sex practices and communicate with your lover/s and Doctor on a regular basis.

As one of my lady friends put it "I don't have the time or energy to form a monogomous relationship with the goldfish/dog and all the other nonsense - I like the fact that I have a friend I can just have fun with, without all that baggage".

I don't think there's a lack of commitment or loyalty - it's just a commitment and a loyalty to a different thing... the ideal fb relationship is without jealousy, allows both parties to get on with their lives, and focusses on friendship and fun rather than an intense relationship.

quote:

If you have fucked one buddy do you have to fuck them all?

No. Gawd, no. People can have sexual chemistry and friendship chemistry yet for whatever reason, the "significant other" chemistry isn't there.  People can even have "work partner" chemistry.  Just because one kind or some kinds of chemistry is there doesn't mean the other kinds will eventually arrive.

Can you have more than one fuck buddy at the time?

Yeah, and you can have more than one fuck buddy at the same time, at the same time.  Buddy-ing up for fucking tends to occur for me when i don't have a lot of time or the inclination for intense involvement.  i think it's okay to admit this and act on it, iffin' ya' wanna'.

Are you expected to tell all these fuck buddies how many there are?

i did feel it behooved both me and my various buddies that other buddies existed, if not the quantity, quality, or frequency.  i felt that if i hadn't; i wasn't being a buddy, just a fucker. A lot of the benefit of buddy-fucking lies in the phrase "spare me the details."

If you forget to mention you have fucked another buddy is that considered cheating?

If you forget you fucked a buddy, it probably wasn't worth it. Re-evaluate your selection strategy.
One can cheat oneself out of good times, good adventures, good friendships, good information and good health all one wants. But a quality buddy never cheats their friends out of the same.

Do you have to tell a buddy that you have moved on to another fucker?

Nah, just that you've moved on. Re: "spare me the details".

"slut" does not necessarily = fuck buddy, IMO.
