Never worked for me. I always started to catch feelings and felt terrible every time and started hyperanalyzing everything I did lmao, mostly to keep them comfortable. Tried it twice with two different girls.

Now, I have done some casual things while in a relationship with my current bf, but it was more of a one and done deal that me and the bf both consented to. That felt way less bad because I feel like I need a consistent person to throw all my affections at (re: the bf). I'm just way too lovey-dovey and can't resist the urge to buy people I've had sex with flowers and showering them with affection lol. I can just direct it all at him afterwards instead xD
