Joselyn Dumas Airs Views on "Friends With Benfits"

The sexy actress and TV personality, on Friday, aired her views on the topic "Can a man and a woman be just friends?"on the Super Morning Show on Joy FM with Kojo Yankson.

Here is what she said:

"I don't befriend ugly people naturally because I don't think I am ugly so I attract very beautiful people - men and women. I've never made an ugly friend, all my friends are beautiful," On a male and  female being platonic friends."You can be friends [with] the opposite sex and be platonic friends but at the end of the day, it's what you both want, it takes two to tango so if you are my friend and we just want friendship that's what it's going to be if we both want to take it a step further it's always easier because we've already been friends and we know what we like and we don't like," On Friends with benefit.Joselyn Dumas had held the view that the popular phrase, 'Friends with benefit' did not necessarily connote sexual relationship but friendship in which both parties are there for each other.She said, "we've all had a friend with benefit. It could be different benefits but we've all had a friend with benefit....when you need something, they are the people [you go to] as well."After renowned playwright Ebo Whyte, also a guest on the show, explained that the popular term is associated with friends who engage in sexual activity without commitment, she disclosed that she has had a friend with benefit."Oh yeah absolutely," she said and added that "sometimes too I think where there is a tag with a relationship, it becomes a problem, then the expectations are quite high but we have a friend with benefit, we see how it goes. If it goes well and we eventually decide that look we [are] going to take this a step further kudos but once this is my boyfriend, this is my girlfriend or I am married, there is that pressure... I personally don't want that at that particular moment so I would have a friend with benefit."Joselyn noted that she holds that view because "there is that pressure of wanting to please all the time but when it is a friend with benefit, we both have that mutual understanding that at the end of the day, I don't owe you so much."
