Can you ever be friends with an "ex"?

Today's rant comes to you courtesy of good conversation over bad food.

During lunch, I'm listening to my friend talk about his ex girlfriend (they are now friends with benefits). And I'm wondering...Does this ever work out for anyone?

I am of the opinion that once you've kissed someone, you cannot just be friends. Once you've seen someone naked, you cannot see them as just a friend. There's no going back people! Especially if that person was really good in the sack.

I know what you're thinking, we've all done it before. Picture this...It's late, you're drunk, and you don't want to sleep alone. What do you do? You call the ex and the conversation starts "Hey! What are you doing?" Next thing you know you're listening to R. Kelley and you're doing a bump and grind of your own. Next thing you know, you're trying to sneak out before sunrise. It's a vicious cycle.

So here's my advise to you friends...Recycle cans not people!
