Ok, now, some of these answers are telling you no it can't work becuase of feelings, but it can work if you are both honest with each other. I had one for a long time, it only stopped because we both became interested in other people. We are still very good friends and talk to each other often. There is nothing acward about our relationship, but a bit of caution: make sure it is really what the other person wants, and they aren't hoping for more.

As long as both people's intentions are exactly the same. I have had 2 friends with benefits. Now, several years later, I am married and I am still great friends with both people. I think the main reason my case of "friends with benefits" worked out is because we were really comfortable around each other, we trusted each other, and hell.... we were bored. ;)

It is not an a good Idea to have friends with benefits......because after a while you will start having feelings for that persons.....and probably you will be not correspond......if you are Friends be Friends don't mix the relationships

Had the best friend with benefits going on...........it worked for a year and we were always honest with one another. I got interested in someone else and so did he. We're still the best of friends and I talk to him about everything under the sun.........sure some feelings start to develop.........but it's up to you how deeply you let them get...........

I never tried it.
I think total honesty would be a prerequisite for it to even possibly work. Probably the honesty has to extend to partners, possible partners, partners of partners. Maybe it could work. Would not be easy, maybe worth it in some cases.

it can work, i have had friends with benifits before and as long as you discuss that there is no relationship possibilities. Just be honest but be careful that nobody is getting attached. Good luck to you and I hope all goes well (and that you have many of good nights together)

It could work if you are completely honest with each other. I did this for about a year and a half. I fell for somebody else and he wouldn't let me keep my friend (even though I miss him terribly). I hope you have more luck with it than I did.

No, no, no! It never works. At some point and I don't care it its years down the road someone is going to catch feelings.

Yes. For a while it worked but he developed feelings for me and I didn't for him. I don't think it's a good idea. I hurt him and feel guilty for it because he really is a good man. I just didn't feel the same.
