Is this possible? Are women capable of this? Is it possible for women to do this without the inevitable feelings of commitment and proprietary rights over the man? (I won’t bother to ask if men are capable of this…duh!) I would guess that about 1 in a million women would be open to this concept. Am I wrong? Has anyone ever done this successfully? By “successful” I mean, without it turning into a typical romantic relationship and without damaging the friendship. It seems to me that it would be just as complicated as any other romantic relationship and have all the same potential pitfalls. Sounds like a very 21st century concept, but I have serious doubts.

I was in a Friends with Benefits relationship for 8 years.
Nope, woman are not capable. Atleast I am not. He turned out to be one my best friends that I highly admire and adore.....
Its now over because I opened my mouth and told him those three scary ugly words...and thats that. Terrible, eh?
It sucks but woman love with their heart and not with their tally wacker..as men do.

It's been done successfully, but rarely. Usually doesn't last very long, because someone will either lose interest or start having deeper feelings. Or the guy wants sex more often than the girl does, and she gets annoyed and puts an end to it.
I haven't tried it with sex per se, but more on a making-out level. I did have several guy friends in college with benefits. The benefits were not often invoked, but if he was in town, there was a party, a few drinks, a little flirting, and by the end of the evening we were comfotably entwined on the couch... well, stuff might happen. ;) And I'm still friends, or friendly with, all these guys.

It can be done. Both people have to be on the same page and agree to the same "rules". Some wormen really aren't looking for a typical relationship with all of the hassles that come with it (men do their share of being proprietary), but could use a little physical intimacy every now and then. Friends is the operative word here.

I think it wouldn't be worth the time.Sex isn't much without emotions to drive it.If two people are so disconnected that sex for the sake of sex is what they desire then I would say both have some very unhealthy ideas.Also I think I would rather have a good friend I could count on for along time rather than a sex buddy that's going to end up hurt and feeling used.

My friend I am 43 years old and I have had my share, too many to be honest so many women have told me they just wanted to be well sex friends. with no strings they all end up the same soon feelings come and then its on...if only for a few times then yes it is possible after awhile feelings will take part and there goes the friendship. turns ugly somtimes but thats how I met my last wife....

I have a few people that have benefits but they are not in my life everyday. They know things about me but I don't see them everyday. Really only see each other when we want to get busy. So that works for me. I honestly don't think it would work for me if they were around me daily or even weekly as friends without the benefit part following at some point that day. So....for me yes.

It is not just "Due Process" but "Due Process of Law" and the law requires a trial, by his peers. The President and AG Holder and the inaction of Congress has concluded that the right to trial is gone. IMPEACH OBAMA 2012 IV Amendment: NO PERSON shall be held to answer for a capital crime, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment of a Grand Jury, except in the cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; Anwar was not a member of the Military in anyway. and even in my opinion was guilty of infamous crimes but as a person was entitled to indictment by Grand Jury and trial by jury of his peers. President Bush declared Anwar a terrorist, a criminal. President Obama repeated the claim even during the announcement that he was killed during a drone attack in the sovereign nation that has no declaration of war by the US Congress against it.

I wouldn't be so concerned about "damaging the friendship" as I would be about damaging my own sense of self-esteem, self-worth, morals, standards, and emotions. Engaging in meaningless sex is exactly that: meaningless. If a person has meaningless sex over and over and over, they must soon begin to feel worthless, meaningless, used, jaded and emotionally dysfuctional.
Then add the risks of unwanted pregnancy and diseases... and the benefit is what? The friendship means what?

yes, it has definitely been done, and this is coming from the supposedly attachable female counterpart---i have had several "friends" over the years
but i will say, i have yet to meet many other women, who feel the same way-they generally have a terrible attitude toward any woman, who could have a casual relationship-no matter with whom--as though they can no longer leave their men around unshackled-if you and your partner are comfortable-do it to it

oh yea its can happen it does happen and it happened to me all the time when i was a bouncer i loved it.......i was younger then and i used to have lots of "friends" it was perfect married women are the best they dont call or bug you.....but you could get shot i think that makes it more appealing but in the end feelings do get hurt and sometimes you cant help but fall for one of them and they might not feel the same for you them you will get a taste of what youve been doing to others
