I don't think there's anything wrong with it, as long as people take care not to ruin their friendship.

Personally, I like actually being in a relationship and being with that person. Sex is more than just "for fun" to me.

This isn't puberty related

I think "friends with benefits" are dumb. As HolyHooker said, sex is more than just fun. If you're going to be intimate that way with someone, it should be out of love, not boredom. If you're horny, you got your hand ;) haha

[OregonStateDude]

I guess it depends on what the benefits are. For example, my best friend and I fool around some, but we don't let it get weird between us.

I agree completely, couldn't have said it better myself!

[james wolf]

I think it's fine. Sex is something that is fun and everyone should be able to enjoy as friends, without the strings. As long as it is safe ;)

[PandaLeah]

I think that if the person is not willing to commit to you they shouldn't get to enjoy you (if you know what I mean)

I know when I am with someone no matter male or female.. I give them part of my heart (my self so I do get some sort of attachment) it might be a girl thing.

[hhhhyi]

Yeah, I wouldn't personally partake in it, but it doesn't bother me that some people choose to do it. Just depends on the person, I guess. ^^

[SimSailorNick]

If both of you are willing to do it and know what you're getting into, I don't see anything wrong with it.

[Short Circuit]

Nothing wrong with it at all, all the fun, but none of the commitment

It's not just a girl thing lol. It sounds corny as hell, but sex really is more enjoyable when you have deep emotional feelings for the person. It's special that way.

yup yup I agree :D

[ImCoolBeans]

I think it's a terrible relationship. Not only does it defeat the purpose of your friendship, but it totally bases it around sex whether you intend it to or not, which does not make for a healthy friendship/relationship. When you and your friend do nothing but have casual sex with each other, can you really call it a friendship anymore? When you hit up a friend just for sex, can you really call that a friendship? I really don't think so. Loose sex to me is pretty filthy, and the fact that the loose sex will involve a "friend" is even worse.

[Aves]

I agree with Mike, but just do whatever you want. Just know that the sex won't be as good as if you were in a relationship, and you might end up never talking to your friend again.

[aggresivechild]

too much hollywood infuence. won't happen in real life

[Black.Veil.Brides]

yahh mike is right.... itcould ruin everything if y'all stop doin it... yahh wont even b friends no more... all he will want is to fuck... or she sorry guys lol....

[MalditoDia]

I think its stupid.

[Shortie]

I like it, well it depends on who it is. I mostly into girls but I have done it with my best guy friend and only him. I guess it satisfys that part of me?? He had proven that he really cares and he protects me but we both know it's not going anywhere further. I've also done it with some girl friends but it's hard for me because I'm more likely to develope feelings for them lol

[Magenta]

I actually disagree with Mike and Connor. I think maybe it's not "friendship" but it's a relationship without the part where you have to stay committed to that one person. If both people are okay with it, I don't see the problem with it. Personally, I see sex in two ways so casual sex with a friend with benefits doesn't feel so wrong to me, it feels as legitimate as sex with a partner you deeply care for: one is just emotional and the other is just for the physical part.

I mean, yeah, never talking to the person again is a risk but if people want to have friends with benefits, I say that's their choice as long as their partner feels the same way.

I disagree, sex is sex. If you chose for it to be meaningful, so be it. Hands and vaginas/mouth's are very much different.

[Love.Hate]

Personally, it suits me, no matter how slaggy it may seem i am terrified of commintment because i have been hurt so much, okay yes the sex isnt as good as with someone you truely love, but after going through what ii've been though you can understand why people do it.... i cant trust guys anymore, i like sex and so do they, so it works out okay.

However if you'd of asked me this before something happened at new year i would have said i wouldnt go anywhere near it. I can see the pro's and cons and i guess its just different for everyone.

[Electra Heart]

I've only tried that shit once, and... It didn't turn out well. No contact for months. So, I suppose it isn't really for me. I know other people can do it, but... I would definitely advise caution to those individuals.

I don't think it's any different.

[zach.tw97]

Well, I have a friend with benefits, and it seems to work out fine with both of us, and I love it! :D

Sometimes, FwB works.

Most of the time it just sucks.

It can be very difficult to keep feelings straightened out when you're in a sexual relationship of any kind, be it with a boyfriend or girlfriend or in a FwB relationship. Not to say it's impossible, but it can get complicated. The important thing to remember is that FwB is a type of relationship and needs to be treated with the same caution you would use entering a traditionally committed relationship. It starts off with saying, Let's have sex without commitment and for a while, it will work, but almost inevitably things get complicated and one or both persons involved get hurt, and the friendship is often destroyed.

In my experience and from what I've seen in the lives of friends, you stand a better chance of remaining friends with an ex than you do with a former FwB.

[pdidyking]

Well, the first thing that comes to mind is sex (depending on what you think sex is). I believe pre-marital sex is not a good idea. Having sex for the first time will stay in your memory forever. Sex is the most intamite love there is. The closest you can get to person physically and mentally. Sex is not for fun and games. It should be taken seriously. Friends with benefits makes sex a joke. I hope that makes sense.

[aaayyoo_avery]

if your a girl: look like a hoe -.-
if your a guy: makes you look like a penisshole-.-

[KellyNC]

Honestly I don't think there's anything 'wrong' with it, I guess a relationship would be preferred but a FWB is a lot better than having hookups everywhere.

[Syam]

I do like the film.

[Crushedforlife]

I'm personally against it, since I do believe that sex should be shared with someone you care about. But, one of my closest friends has had a FwB and according to him it was the best thing that's ever happened to him.

So, I guess it's really to each his or her own.
The aftermath did a number on him though so I dunno...

[boonsim]

Friends with benefits never remain friends. They either start a real relationship or break apart.

[audiophile5]

I think it's one of the worst thing ever.

[Jhcx]

Hmm... Well i dont think there is anything wrong. Sex is sex and if you just want to have fun with out the serious of a relationship i think its the best think invented since the sliced pan :P

[lilmamabowers]

i think friends with benefits is wrong..
you either have something with someone you care about or you dont.
you cant ruin a friendship with a few days..

[Dark Blue]

I am in the middle about the topic. It can be bad and good. If you truly value that friend and value that persons time then I think it's horrible. It'll most likely result in the friendship ending and tension. All you will ever want is your friend to lay down with you instead of being there for you which could create conflicting feelings in the future.

But it can be good if it isn't that good of a friend. I mean why not? If you have a friend you like to play around with then I say go for it.
