What often sounds good in theory often is disastrous in practice. I haven't had too many ex-girlfriends as it is, but I seriously doubt that any of them are wired to have a purely physical relationship with no emotional strings attached. In the case of my last ex, I wouldn't have wanted a "friends with benefits" relationship with, but even if I had wanted it and she'd gone along with the loony notion, we'd have been in the same routine of sturm und drang over the issues that led me to break up with her in the first place.
