My male bestfriend suddenly wants to try being FWBs again.

Hey everyone, I’m in a bit of a dilemma and could use some advice. So, my male best friend (21) and I (f21) have known each other for 8 years. On the night of my birthday, he texted me saying he had a sexy dream about us where we fucked and he ended but texting me everything in detail. I responded with a casual "ok" and joked that he should consider a career as a Wattpad writer.

A few years back, we tried to be friends with benefits (FWB), but it didn’t go far—mostly just me sharing some pictures in my underwear. We live in different states and cities, so meeting up isn't feasible anytime soon. After my recent breakup, I’ve been feeling pretty insecure about my body, and honestly, I haven’t had any sexual encounters since then.

I have this mindset that I’d rather keep things in-person rather than online, which complicates things since we can’t meet up. The last time we tried to explore something more, it led to an incident that caused us not to talk for two years. I don’t want to complicate our friendship further, especially since we’ve been close for so long.

for now I told him that ik will think things through and let him know but i am not sure what to do or how to say it ?
