has her birthday coming up. Seeing as we're not technically going out, am I still meant to get her a boyfriend equivalent present?

You're under no obligation.

But you could always give her something out of sheer kindness.

I mean, she is giving you no-strings-attached-sex. She sounds like a pretty cool friend. Get her something just for that.

(Wait, that depends... how long have you known her for???)

If this is a friends' with benefits thing, then it would be nice to get her something for being a cool friend.

If you just met her and started fucking her, then it might just be weird...

Yeah she's awesome. Should it be something tasteful though? Generally I tend to get people random things for their birthdays but I'm not sure if I should do anything different.

It's a strange relationship. We're not going out but we avoid getting together with other people. This is my first sex-only relationship, is that how it's meant to work?

EDIT: And yes we've known each other for a little while so it's not completely random.

I've never actually had a full on sex-only relationship, so I'm no expert on the situation.

I just think it might be nice to get her something for the hell of it.

And I don't think it would have to be tasteful at all. It could be something totally fun or crazy or just silly. It all depends though on the current dynamics between you.

Other than that though, you're pretty much on your own. I have no idea what she's like, what you two have in common, etc...

Okay cool, I guess my initial question has been answered. Thanks a lot mate.

No problem.

Although you might want to wait for a second opinion...

Like I said, I have no direct experience in this type of situation.

I think you should get her a cool gift relevant to your relationship... Like... Something you guys can use together? Idk, maybe you get her her a dildo that she/you can fuck her in the pussy with while you fuck her in the ass. Or so warming lubricant. Hell, it depends on what you're into... Whips, chains masks, handcuffs. There's really lots of cool possibilities
I suggest handcuffs, and chains ^_^

Wait, before you leave, Hippieloveisback! I have a question, I am sort of in the same situation as you, sex only relationship. No birthdays yet, but when the time comes our birthdays are only 1 day apart.

Anyway, do you act like a couple in public/private? As in, do you hold hands and give/receive random kisses? Do you cuddle?

Because with the guy I am screwing, we have a sex only relationship but we do act like a couple. I am wondering if that is a hint towards a more emotionally engaging relationship.

Well this has been my first sex-only relationship but yeah we do show affection in public. It's not just a physical attraction though, I guess we were just tired of having to care about the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing and picked out the good bits from it. We don't exactly show interest in other people either so... I'm not even sure if that's how it works but you and I both seem to be in the same boat so we can't be far off.

Well, both of us have just gotten out of a relationship within the past 2-3 months. Basically yes, we just picked the good bits and share them happily. It's a really awesome deal, isn't it? Except for the wondering about the future and such.
