Friends with benefits... with ex?

Alright, so, a little TMI. Ever since I've broken up with my boyfriend I've been incredibly horny. It's been to the point where I actually tried having sex with some other dude but I really wasn't feeling it.

That said, I'm fine with not being in a relationship... but I need sex. And I'm not going to sleep around just because I'm not on BC and I'm scared of infections lol.

But I was thinking of presenting the possibility of a "friends with benefits" relationship to my ex. We broke up because the emotional aspect wasn't working for us, but honestly the sex was effing great. 😂

Has anybody else ever ended up doing this? Or is it just a bad idea and I should make best friends with a vibrator.....
