There are 5 of us - two couples and myself. We are all good friends.
Couple one is an open relationship - big age difference. I mess around with the younger one all the time. His partner is fully aware - he's a much older guy so hasn't joined in too much. But everything is comfortable. Sex is just a fun thing to do between us.
Second couple - me and one of them really made a personal connection with interests, etc. The tension is pretty strong. Yet we decided not to have sex because it is going to make things really awkward. In a nutshell, I know I am going to get attached (and he might, too) and it would put a strain on their relationship. And as I am good friends with them both, I absolutely don't want to do that.
We're adults and we are dealing with it just fine. I was just thinking about how weird sex can be - in some instances it is totally casual, and in others it can carry so much baggage.
