It's a personal choice. I, personally, can't just have sex with someone without having feelings. SO friends with benefits doesn't work for me. But other people can. So, it's up to whether you can handle it or not. For me I had a friend with Benefits and I ended up (during my younger days) having feelings for this person. Feelings that weren't returned. It ended up hurting me a lot. But if you can handle having sex with someone and just being friends, then go for it.

Absolutely. As long as both people agree to what it actually is. Just being friends with the added benefit of being able to have a healthy roll in the hay. If one or both parties start to have "other" feelings, deal with it immediately otherwise the benefits now come with the cost of expectations. What's the cost? That question can best be answered by the following statement. "Expectations can very well be preconceived resentments."

it depends.....If you can do things without having attachment. Think what would happen if the person you benifited with got a b/f g/f ? How would you feel about that? Fine? Upset? If you get upset these things shouldnt be your thing OTHERWISE if your okay with it that- have fun

I don't have a friend with benefits but have been entertaining the thought myself. I can't speak from experience but I would say as long as you are both 100% on the same page with it it should be OK. Actually could be a **** load of fun. LOL!!

In my experience, it is a lot better than just okay! Some people don't have the time, energy, or desire for a long-term traditional relationship, so an arrangement like that is much more safe and fun than hooking up with people you don't know.

I had one for a long time. He was my ex. We were very clear that we were never getting back together, but the sex was GREAT! So, whenever we saw each other, sex was something we did like eating out. We never talked about it or cuddled afterward. We both got our rocks off and were satisfied. That's what counted.

Why not? Just be careful of crossing the line into loving the person. It can ruin the friendship. You will see the person differently. Trust me, I know.

If the benefits you refer to is sex....then they are not your friends...Only users use people, and then toss them away like yesterdays trash. Sex is an intimate decision to share a very important part of our being. Please do not toss your gift into someones path, without a serious commitment!!!
