Never done it myself, but I knew quite a few people in college who did. To my knowledge, all of those friendships drifted apart and ended. Maybe more of a correllation than a causation, since lots of friends drift apart.

You know what I don't know that you really can. I think that you can call yourselves friends but you should be more of aquaintances. A true friendship I don't think could hold up to a sexual relationship that is not supposed to get emotionally involved. I mean if you are already true friends then you are already involved on an emotional level to some degree. But, it is possible to meet someone and get to know them on an impersonal level and continue from there sexually. But, you would just have to try not to dwell into each others personal life much because then at that point you would be putting personal-friendship type feelings into it.

In my personal experiance, it can really turn ugly.... We both became very attached and he got married and then I got married and the feelings resurface and now we don't talk anymore because he became a sanctimonious little bastard.... it can never end pretty or it gets too serious. One person is always going to be jealous or trying to re-gain the "benefits" because after that then the friend ship is not the same without it. Get yourself a "Booty call" someone that you strictly have sex with no social ties what so ever....

My nine year love of my life relationship started out as friends with benefits...we were going through alot at the time and at first it was we would hang out with a group of friends then one night my husband (now) got intoxicated and I drove him home because I hadn't been drinking..that night we were friends with benefits but I didn't want to get into a relationship with him because I was fresh out of a fairly long relationship and didn't want to hurt him and myself by losing a friend...we went on being friends for a few months but every time I saw him I was drawn to him and he I ..we ended up being friends with benefits for about 2 months 2-3 times a week...as this started everything was spontaneous and we just grew to love each other and we did many other things friends do like parties.movies.with friends then slowly dating..everyone was surprised when we moved in with each other because they had no idea we had been adding "benefits" to our lives ..Not all situations end up this way but it can work..and we are so close because we actually were friends for a long time before the benefits and relationship

The reality is that NO ONE who has been naked with another person and engaged in sexual activity EVER is completely OK with having that person think of you as just a friend.
What that always comes down to is this- it wasn't that good and you aren't that special and the batteries in my vibrator were dead so what the heck...
Wow. I don't know about you, but that would sure make me feel all warm and fuzzy about my "friend".
Friends with benefits is a lie people tell themselves only until they can no longer tell it and still feel good about themselves in the morning.

Friends with Benefits can go both ways. You guys can be great, having all the sex you want and being able to go out with your other friends and have a platonic relationship. Other times, it backfires. People get hurt, people get the wrong ideas, and it gets AWKWARD. I think it depends on the people, how easy-going they are, how attached they get to relationships and so on.

I don't know-it just happens, I guess...I have a friend I used to f**ck 3 x's a day and once on Sundays and we are now both married to our significant others and are the BEST of friends with no desire to rekindle our sexual relationship...we feel now that we have so much going for us in our personal lives it would jeopardize too much...
