Realising there could be problems, but if not in close contact daily, would there be hope for these individuals to hang on to the friendship they started out with?

if you both really make a effort then i think you can have a friendship without going for the sexual aspects of it.. it may take some work on both of your parts to make this work...i know of some that started out friends and became intimitate and then decided they were better off just to remain friends..it can work but both parties must want this

Right now I am trying to be friends with someone that I was friends with before and then it became physical and right now we are friends. It all depends on the person. Some people think they can go back to being friends but the friendship would not be the same. My friendship with him is very different from the beginning and i hate it. When we ended everything i did not want to be friends with him but then i realized that i couldnt live without him so now we are friends but not best friends anymore. So i would say do not get into a relationship with your friends.

It is possible, but difficult. Once you've crossed that line, it's difficult to see that person as "just a friend", however, it's not impossible. I had one friend that was "more than a friend" at one point, and we've managed to be "just friends" again. I had to overcome my jealousy when he dated someone new, or when he didn't make time for me like he used to when we were physical.
It takes a toll on your emotions, but if you both want to stay friends, then make sure you are both honest and open about things ..... even if it's something that is bothering you. If he/she starts dating and it bothers you, say, "I know it shouldn't, but this bothers me and it's gonna take a little while for me to get used to. Could you try to remember that when we talk?"
It all depends on how each of you will react to things and if you're mature enough to get through it.
Good Luck

YES - DEFINITELY. If you are "friends" that means that you should be able to talk openly and understand each other. As long as it is a true "friendship" also (probably a friendship with benefits I'm assuming)....but if it is true, then the other person will need to understand. Let's face it, friends disagree sometimes on things.....but doesn't mean those disagreements are worth losing the friendship. Friends are important. With or without benefits.

Yes but very rarely will that happen. In my experience, as soon as you cross that line there's no going back. Things tend to get awkward around each other and tensions can lead to arguments and fallings out. In all fairness all you can do is distance youself from this person for a while and then eventually things may return to "normal".

It can happen but rarely does. Once a friendship has become physical, one or other of these people wants more that just friendship.

The physical act isn't the problem but if the heart was involved it could be difficult especially if it is one sided.
