Opinion may vary but I don't see anything wrong with that, casual sex, just make sure to use protection. And if you feel you guys can be mature adults afterwards and not let that come inbetween your friendship.

EDIT: er ..Answers101, that's what I said- did you misread my answer? Ok. If this question had been something like "Is it ok?" or "Is it acceptable?" I'd have answered "Yes, of course." You are indeed two consenting single adults (I assume), you won't be hurting anybody else, no-one really has to know, so why shouldn't you go ahead and enjoy yourselves? However, the question was "Is it a good idea?" To which my answer (and I imagine anyone who's ever tried this) is "no, definetely not." It seems like fun, an ideal way to get some no strings sex with no tears and recriminations. A bit of extra fun to bring to your friendship. But: there are a lot of "but"s to consider here, and one of them always comes up. The two most common are a) one partner begins to have more intense feelings for the other. They want the relationship to be more than sex. They get hurt if the other partner sleeps with someone else because after all they are "just friends". They want to spend time with the other person when they want to be alone or with other friends. Other friends become alienated because the "sex friend" is always hanging around and has a special relationship. b) One partner gets a real boyfriend or girlfriend. What happens? Do the two friends suddenly stop having sex? Can the single partner cope with the other person suddenly rejecting them having found someone they prefer to have sex with instead? Or do they carry on and end up hurting the new bf/gf? Even if they stop, what if the new partner finds out about the previous status of the two friends? will they still be happy about them seeing each other? In short its just a whole can of worms that's not worth opening. You want casual sex, have a fling, go pick someone up in a bar or club, get a friend to set you up on a date with someone loose, do anything - just don't do it with one of your friends. You'll end up in a sticky situation of an entirely different kind to the one you had planned.

Don't mess with your friendship when there are not any "feelings" between the two of you. It's like pretending to be a doctor without having a PhD to back you up. Leave it alone.

If you are friends, then THERE ARE feelings there!! Can u b adult enough to do "the friends /with benefits" thing ? r u saying to each other..." i'm board/scared but trust you not to get hung up over this"? That's kind of '70s but its a lot safer that one night stands.. but it doesn't lead to find the ONE YOU WANT!!! Is it OK with you to Mark Time, while you make time? Can you trust in lust, not go bust, and keep it just? Friends are there to help each other through their needs, pals are who you kill time with, your click is a feedback group. Examine what you intend.

No, it's not a good idea.

If there are no emotional feelings but purely sexual attractions, some people can manage very well and find such sex fulfilling as long as both parties are open and honest about their feelings towards each other. For example, if it begins as purely sexual, but then one person develops an emotional attraction to the other, then it's important to be honest about those feelings and decide together whether or not it's a good idea to continue seeing each other. Even then the risk is that each will person lose the other as a friend, but that doesn't happen to everyone.

This is a question that depends on the person. I have had a "friend with benefits" since I was 15, I am 25 now. We never had any issues and are still very close friends. Both of us have had girlfriends come and go with no ill effects. But I do think it depends on the two people involved and other statements here could very easily come to light if one begins having feelings.

i dont think u should. god created love to share with the one that u love. so just wait and that perfect guy will come along and hey how do u know that he hasnt already? andd why dont u just get a bf or gf to do o it?

Recent experience in this area causes me to say it is not a good idea. This type of "arrangement" can be very painful emotionally. In my case, feelings developed with my "friend with benefits." I tried to stop those but they grew stronger. I had to "hide" those feelings for the longest to avoid causing tension. Then he tells me he's met someone and is going on a second date. I felt like I had been punched in the stomach and my heart ripped out. We are so close, best friends and how could I be angry with him? This was what we agreed to do. We were to be happy with what we had but agreed that we would not "double dip." Sounded fine but in reality it isn't. Still, I can tell you that this has been the most painful relationship experience I've ever had. Probably because he is my best friend, our sex is awesome and we are perfect together in so many ways. There is no way that this works...no way. One person will always develop stronger feelings and unless the other feels the same way, heartbreak is around the corner.

it can causes arguemets if u gf finds out and break friendships

Its your choice.
