Look up “friends with benefits” and “situationships”. You only meet for sex or a little romance. Very different from the kind of committed relationships you associate with the terms like “bff”, “girlfriend” or “marriage”. They aren’t neccessarily bad or immoral, just make sure to set boundaries first so each of you knows how to feel about polyamory etc.
Also polyamory is not required for friends with benefits type of arrangement. There are plenty of people that have monogamous set ups that are still classified as friends with benefits. This is mainly done for safety from STDs and such. It’s just that nether party wants relationship responsibility of caring for your partners emotional needs.
I didn’t say you didn’t but you don’t want commitment or the burden of a relationship as you put in your cons category. What you want based on what you said was you want intimacy and sexual connection but after you had your fill. You want the other person to fuck off and leave you alone. That by definition is a friend with benefits. They come hang out and if you both want to. you do intimate things then you or they leave.
