Friends With Benefits

Your friends with benefits are no true friend: as (au contraire!) your friends when used are a perverse weed from which you must then defend against when trust and friendship sweep away; your friends aren't lovers' toys to be abused or spent on reckless nights of screwing (them) where prudence is forsaken and unused because you just feel like it on a whim. But if you choose to love your now good friend(s) then do so at your own risk and danger as oftener than not you'll in the end only create just another stranger: if you err in this but ne'er broke your word, then this you may forswear you read or heard.
