Is a friends with benefits situation a good idea?

Nope. It's the fast track to either losing the friendship or becoming more than friends. More times than not, it's the former.

it depends on how the two of you decide, if you both decide that it is friends with bennifits no strings attached, then that isnt such a bad idea. But what usually happens is that one of the two ends up getting attached and wants more, someone could get hurt. So if the two of you are very open in what you want in the begining, and remind each other before you do the dead that there are no strings attached just good sex you should be ok, but keep an eye out for your partner in this to make sure he/she isnt getting too attached and that he/she attitude isnt changing, like he/she isnt getting closer and more upset if you decide to talk to some other person or sleep with someone else. above all use protection

no cause in the end one of the two will grow more feelings for the other. Or lets say if one happens to get a "relationship" with someone else then the "friends with the benefit wil start to get jealous". And if the "friend" is willing to continue sleeping with you regaurdless of the fact that you have a girlfriend/boyfroend then is that someone you can really trust in the future

Well i have a friend with benefits and i think that it is OK because it keeps the number of people you have slept with to a low and you know that you will always have somebody there for you. I think its a great idea.

No. Once you introduce intimacy into a friendship, someone is bound to harbor feelings for the other. Happens every time, and then it ruins everything. I don't think it's a good idea for anyone, unless they both end up feeling the same.

Well not really because 1 ima girl and i know i have tried those before and they dont work it gets people pissed off at you and it sucks to know that the people that were once your good friends dont really care for you anymore it sucks my point is just go out with this person and if it doesnt work out then just be friends!

great idea if you are lucky enough. usually turns to tears though. youve been 'benefitting' from your friend for months then one day you/she gets a new partner. i promise one of you will feel pretty used and hurt afterwards..

You just have to make sure you dont get too involved and it becomes more than just friends with benefits.

Friends with benefits okay with right motives. If wrong motives then your a "user".

Im trying to figure that out myself, I think its really hard especially when one starts having feelings for the other and you know thats all it will ever be.
