Is hooking up with a fuckboy friend worth the risk?

We’ve talked and flirted for a year. The sexual tension is palpable (all of our mutuals have commented on it). We’ve never hooked up but I can feel the electricity when we hug, make eye contact, when our fingers touch, when he winks at me from across the room… 😮‍💨

The risks/cons are physical (he got that community dihh) and mental (is he gonna lose interest in me afterwards? Will I be okay with it if he ghosts me after talking every single day for a year?).

The pros: we’d both get our rocks off and we both know it’s casual.
