There is one person in my life that fits this description perfectly, and he is the only person I could seriously think about having as a fuck buddy.

Several months ago I felt I could have gone in for emotionless sex but I think I was kidding myself. As others have posted, I think that realistically I would not be able to keep the emotional aspect out of it. The guy I referred to above has enough love and respect back for me as I him, that I think it could work if we were fuck buddies. Anyone else, I'm not so sure.

A one-night stand or a short fling would feel less of a problem because there's not that risk involved of losing a valued friend should things go tits up.
