Last week, we discovered that people engage in these relationships as a way to blow off steam and not have to worry about being emotionally committed to the person that they are sleeping with. However, our guest expert helped shed some light on the fact that it is rarely the case that a friends with benefits relationship will end well. In this podcast we’re exploring:
Why our society glorifies casual, sexual relationships?
Are there serious consequences to having sex without an emotional attachment?
How can we establish more meaningful relationships that aren’t based solely on sex?

well i have friend with benefits and we still maintain a good relation ship as a friend. i think it just a way not to make things complicated. Attachments are some times become a reason for a fight. if there is no emotional attachment then there is nothing to worry about. and i think the serious consequences comes when we want to really into a serious attachment like wedding. Because we often be in a position without any complicated things, then it is kind a hard when we want to get into something permanent.
I have no idea how much have u lost ur connection with your roots, or how stupid u r that u r forgeting the iranian population living in us who belive in such thing are very limited comparing to actual iranian people in iran or dubai etc… Fyi , az dide man, va doro variaie man age dokhtari hata harfe in chizaro bezane , ia movafeghe in ghzaie bashe, j*****i pish nist.

its a different while living in iran and living in USA..we cant make it blend into one. relationship without emotions, its impossible. there is always some minor emotions in every relation.

you don’t live in US, you don’t know us and you don’t know what we accept or reject, so shut your mouth and mind your bussiness.

In regards to your next topic [Racist Iranians]: (Comment moved by admin to appropriate thread)
Guys
you should consider hiring Kimia as the Editor-in-chief of your website; she is brilliant.
Good call, Persian Boy. We are keeping a close eye on her!

دمت گرم آقا اشکان،
ما هرروز به این موضوع فکر میکنیم، و احتمال اینکه در برنامه همچین تغییری ایجاد کنیم هست. اما فقط شاید بد نباشه بگم که هدف ما از نگه داشتن ۱ یا ۲ نفر انگلیسی زبان در میز گردهامون، برای جذب اونایی نیست که اصلا فارسی نمیفهمن، بلکه برای نگه داشتن کسانی هست که فارسیشون ضعیفه و چون بطور طبیعی هرکسی که به زبانی غیر از زبان اولش گوش میده و ۳۰ تا ۵۰ درصدشو متوجه نمیشه، بعد از مدتی خسته میشه و احتمالا دیگه تمرکزش از روی برنامه به جای دیگه میره، میخوایم که اونها رو هم تا جایی که میشه میخکوب نگه داریم
ولی با همهٔ این تفاسیر، هنوز هم ممکنه که این شیوه رو عوض کنیم! باز هم ممنون از پیامت.
Iman jan mersi az javabet. Be har hal in faghat nazare shakhsie mane vali chon didam ke digaran ham aghide hastan ba man goftam ke comment bedam. hameye in harfa be kenar, man barnamatun ro khaili doost daram va az shenavandegan e paro pa ghorsetunam :). bazam mamnoon.
make it full farsi and I am out; Your audience is iranicans, those iranians who have been living in US for a long time if not their entire life, as for this, we need a show primarily in english that sometimes uses farsi as well. Drop the english part and I am gone.
