depends what you r looking for, if you're going to get attached then no, go for a real relationship, if you're just looking for sum fun then y not? personally, it has always worked out just fine as long as both people were very clear about what they wanted (friendship+sex, no relationship).

What are you on about? As in being friends with someone just because they're really rich and will treat you, or because they have a holiday home and a yacht in the South of France? If that's what you mean by benefits, then I'd say yes, it is wrong to be friends with someone just because they have benefits.

...I don't understand?
You mean like being friends with someone just because they have a car? meh, the car's useful I guess but if they're a vile person then no.

I think nicolo posted in the wrong thread - his reply seems to be to the question in the 'men, uni & cheating' thread.

Its a bad idea. Unless you have a swinging brick for a heart and have no concept of emotions. No matter what anyone says, one of the partners will get in too deep emotionally, even when they thought they wouldn't. It happened to me, thought I was sorted in my head, but found myself falling for him. He then ignored me. Nice.
However, my now boyfriend who I havve been with for 18months sort of started out like that... and, well, we're an item - 100% happy in stupidly in love, its great.
Moral of the story... someone always gets hurt or you will become joined at the hip. Bit of a gamble, really.
BTW for previous posters - 'friends with benefits' tends to mean a no-strings-attached relationship, i.e. meeting up just for sex etc.

The OP means having friends who you have sex with but you're not in a relationship with.

Just to clear things up friends with benifits are friends that you can sleep with but without being in a relationship

Hmmm...

the latter - friends with benefits is a way of saying for friends who have sex with no real relationship - its probably an american way of saying now that i think about it
hope u all get it now (anonymous - make it more clear next time so theres no misunderstandings 
)Reply 17

Oh right, I'm sorry. The OP is the most ambiguous post ever - surely you can see why I thought that when he/she said friends with benefits, I thought that he/she meant being friends with people just because you'd get something out of it, as I said in my first post. Other people also saw the meaning that I saw in the first post. Maybe the OP should be a bit more specific.

Oh right. Perhaps you should be clearer next time in what you mean, as this post has obviously been interpreted in 2 different ways.

dont worry, i think its an american way of saying anyway, and the first time i heard it i also thought of financial benefits (or friends being rich and all)
