What Your Favorite ‘Friends’ Character Says About Your Sex Life

The famous ‘90s sitcom “Friends” has always been a classic. I’ve rarely met anyone who didn’t have some sort of obsession with the franchise at some point. In fact, my freshman year roommate fell asleep every night to the show (without headphones), and even I never got tired of it. Everyone’s always had a “Friends” character crush, so here’s what your favorite character says about your sex life.

Monica

Put-together and responsible, you’re probably already in a committed relationship, or you just got out of a pretty big one. If you’re the latter, I promise you: obsessively cleaning will help you cope. If you’re one of the lucky ones celebrating Valentines day this year, keep at it; you’re doing a great job. 

Joey

Goofy and horny, I’m guessing your sex life is filled with exciting (and kinky) experiences. You should try new sensual activities this year, and don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. Get to know yourself and (if applicable) your partner. Sex has always been taboo, but it’s really the most human thing we do. So go ahead, buy that new vibrator (you know which one I’m talking about).

Phoebe

Spontaneous, hilarious, and confident, I don’t need to tell you to be brave. Honestly, I think out of everyone, you’ve got this. Even if you haven’t found “the one” yet, I’m sure they are right around the corner. Your personality, although a bit out there, attracts everyone to you. 

Chandler

Anxious and witty, you’re probably a bit nervous to shoot your shot. Understandable, but you’ll never end up with a ten like Monica if you don’t. It’s easy to hide behind a Tinder or Hinge shield, but you’ll have much better luck out in the real world. If that’s too much to ask, at least hang out with that Bumble guy you’ve been canceling on. 

Rachel

Social and fun loving, I’m sure you have girls, guys, and everyone in between at your feet. Your sex life is probably effortless and entertaining. I doubt you’re in anything long-term, but your neverending roster of situationships is more than enough to keep you busy. Since you’re spoiled with sex and love, make sure to spend time with your single friends. Maybe a Galentine’s Day is just what you need.

Ross

If Ross is your favorite, we seriously need to talk. But, to each their own. You’re definitely a hopeless romantic and have been reading way too many Wattpad stories and Colleen Hoover books. While you’re waiting for a prince charming, remember that fairytales aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. The humble guy or girl next door might be the one for you, so don’t be scared to give them a chance. 

Of course, you can’t take anything I say to heart. I really don’t know anything about you. One last thought: as Valentine’s Day approaches, remember that you’re not validated by anyone else. Even if you’re not screwing, getting laid, or doing the hanky-panky, masturbation is for everyone, and there’s nothing wrong with buying yourself flowers.
