They Know You the Best

If you have a best friend who you would consider dating or as a sexual partner, there is no reason why you shouldn’t go for it. After all you tell each other everything, right? The fact that involuntarily your best friend of course knows you the best, there’s no doubt that having sex with them will not only strengthen your connection, but will provide guaranteed pleasure because they really do know everything about you. This is one of the very best reasons why you should have sex with your best friend.

UPD:

Having sex with your best friend can be an incredibly intimate experience. Not only are you two already close and comfortable with each other, but you know each other’s likes, dislikes, and boundaries. This can make for a much more pleasurable experience for both of you as you’ll both be aware of what the other person is comfortable with and what turns them on.

Having sex with your best friend can also be an incredibly freeing experience. You don’t have to worry about impressing them or trying to be someone you’re not.

They Know Your Family and Friends

Inviting a new beau into your circle of family and friends is always very tricky and complicated. But your best friend has already been exposed to your entire lifestyle including the people who matter most. So forming a romantic relationship with your best friend is almost a better option than searching for a new prospect, considering they have already been included among your family and most likely approved by your parents.

UPD:

Moreover, since your bestie already knows who throws the best barbecues and which cousin to avoid at family gatherings, there's a built-in comfort level. Think about it—there's no awkward "meet my partner" dinner or anxiety about whether your friends will hit it off with your new flame. Your best friend is already a vetted favorite, making them the perfect plus-one to any event. And when it comes to intimacy, this level of deep, personal knowledge creates a rich tapestry of trust, making physical closeness feel all the more natural and enjoyable.

They May Already Have a Crush on You

Taking a risk with a stranger is always nerve wracking. But much of the time when you’re hanging around someone so much, it’s unavoidable that you may start to develop feelings for each other. So believe it or not if you make advances towards your best friend you may be very surprised how well received they might be. This is completely the opposite of any type of nervousness you would normally experience with a prospective beau.

They Know What You like... in Bed

Of the many reasons to have sex with your best friend this is probably one of the more overt but nonetheless important ones. Considering you confide in your best friend on a regular basis and talk to them about anything and everything, they probably have a pretty clear picture of your sexual preferences. They heard about the time that you had sex with that awful tourist who was one and done, and the time you kissed your roommate on a dare and enjoyed it, so more than likely they will know exactly what you like and want during sex. This eliminates all that awkwardness you may experience with someone you have only known for 3 dates.

UPD:

Your bestie is privy to the intimate details of your romantic encounters and understands your desires—even the ones you blush to admit. They've been there through the cringe-worthy morning-afters, offering a supportive ear or a comforting hug. With this level of knowledge comes the ability to navigate your needs effortlessly, bypassing the usual trial and error that comes with new partners. It's the kind of sexual synergy that can only be cultivated through genuine understanding and deep-seated trust, lending to a more authentic and satisfying experience between the sheets.
