Meaningless is not the right word. There may be meaning in a temporary arrangement but it is defined by that word. The physical may have no limitations but everything else does.

Pommes and oranges. Again, it's not but the limitations of a temporary emotional experience are there. It is rare to find that FWeeB who is truly a friend as well as a sex buddy and I am fortunate to have such a good friend in a former FWeeB. The attachment I have with my current partner is nothing like what I had/have with my friend. Neither is wrong nor bad. What you're suggesting is that one is thought to be ideal while the other isn't. I say neither is ideal for any one person unless they believe it to be so for themselves.
