Good or bad idea to keep an ex-gf around for casual dating?

I dumped her but I'm still attracted to her physically. I usually go NC after a break up but ideal situation would be just have more sex with her and hang out occasionally when bored.

But she's looking for a serious relationship/marriage. I am too but not with her.

What has been your experience with this and any cautions to be aware of?

Had an ex ask me straight up if we could stay friends with benefits. I declined. She made it known she was desperate for children. Would not have put it past her to skip birth control or poke holes in condoms just to get what she wanted. She was already cool with divorce if things got rough. Pay attention to red flags OP…if you’re careful, it may be worth it. But going NC is good motivation to find another…

I wouldn't recommend it speaking from personal experience.

So you're asking us if it's okay to lead someone on to get your dick wet? You must not have a lot of options if you're considering this.

It's called going back to the well. And yes, it's fine as long as you can deal when she starts dating another guy and/or tries to lock you down again.

Sex only, nothing else.

You only have so many days in your life. You say you're looking for a serious relationship, but not with her. If you're certain about that I would focus your efforts and time looking for someone who completes your life. Don't look back if that's not where you want your future to be, imo...

I kept my ex wife around to suck my dick for about a year until I decided to get serious with someone else. Was absolutely awesome tbh because it meant I never had a dry spell longer than a day or two since I could just text her to stop by after work and she worked 5 minutes from my apartment. She couldn't get pregnant and I let her know I just wanted her around to slob it when I called which for some reason she was fine with even though she had a new fiance.

Definitely wouldn't consider it casual dating or lead her on though OP, that's gonna lead to a bad time. Just be honest about what you want, either she says ok or no but at least you aren't being a dick and letting her think she's winning you back.

The only way this works is as a no-feels FWB situation and both parties are in full agreement with that. That doesn't seem like the case for you (or more accurately, for her...), though. When it is, the sexxors can be much better than a typical FWB situation because of your familiarity with what each other likes.

Had precisely the same situation as op

I never suggested the fwb thing cos I was 99% she would say no, she made it clear she wanted something serious only and I was never really committing to her.

I would have happily fukked her though. The sex was one of the few things we actually did well. Other than that she was a nightmare

Good god, this is about the absolute worst idea you could have. Seriously, nothing good can or will come of this.

Leading her on and screwing with her emotions is just a ****ty thing to do in general. One or both of you will not be able to keep your emotions out of it, and 10 times out of 9 it will become a toxic drama filled mess where you will look back and think how much easier it would have been to just jerk off or find a new girl.

Just kick yourself in the nuts every time this thought comes into your head.
