Friends with benefits refers to an agreement between two people who are both friends and physically attracted to one another to share a sexual relationship. Neither party is considered committed to the other, and both can start dating someone else at any time with prior warning. Friends with benefits differs from a one night stand in that one night stands provide only an evening of sexual interaction, although they may occur between two friends. Friends with benefits rarely move into actual romantic relationship territory. They do not engage in any sort of official dating or romantic behaviors, like celebrating Valentines Day or meeting the parents.
A. ADVANTAGES: By far the best advantage of a friend with benefits relationship is the fact that it allows you to have a regular partner with little or no commitment. If you enjoy sharing emotional sex with a partner, a friend with benefits relationship allows you form a connection with no pressure. Also, if you take the benefits away from the equation, you are still getting a pretty good deal. Having a friend from the ranks of the opposite sex can be very beneficial to your life.
B. DISADVANTAGES: The biggest disadvantage of a friend with benefits relationship is the fact that it could end at any time without prior warning. Maybe your special friend finds a boyfriend/girlfriend, or maybe he/she just gets tired of you. No matter what, it will come to an end one day. Think about it like this, when you buy a new car, you drive it a lot in the beginning just to show it off. After a few months, the car becomes a normal thing in your life and you think less and less of it. When it is time for a new car, you could care less about the relationship that you had with your old car. You want something new. This same theory applies to friends with benefits. It will get old, and either him/her or you will want something new sooner or later.
