No, same stuff, but without the commitment. You don't act as a couple or anything, but if either of you doesn't pull, or you just feel like some action, then the two of you get it on together. I'm not in that situation but I know people who are, and it's odd, if you ask me.

I have friends who have "friends" like that. It is odd. But maybe for them it removes part of the edge from coming home alone for the zillionth night in a row and sleeping alone in your little single bed with only your teddy bear for company.

Heh and none of them mind it like that (the "benefits" and all)? Each to their own I guess, just seems kinda.. I dunno, sick in a way.

It can work out, if all both parties want is just that. However, as soon as one side wants more commitment, it starts to get ugly. I have a friend who was, while not forced into stuff she didn't want to do, made to feel guilty if she didn't. And that's not good for anyone; there shouldn't be any emotional hold over the other person if all you really want is physical. Still not my thing though

Yeah, I do. Have known him for nearly half my life, it's got to the stage where we really do know each other better than anyone else and can read one another like a book. means there's little point in my trying to hide anything from him cos he can work it out anyway

Do you have any really close friends who you can share almost anything with and you completely trust each other?

In theory, it all sounds great: both parties get what they want but the trouble is, there's usually someone expecting more. Even girls who say they're looking for sex, are often looking for something else without realising/admitting it. It's definitely a situation where the guy has the upper hand as the girl often ends up wanting more than physical satisfaction.
Plus, becoming intimate with someone who doesn't care about you doesn't make sense. Sure, it can just be totally emotionless sex but intimacy is something more...which requires a bit more than just physical attraction.
I had a Canadian friend who wanted us to be friends with benefits. Clearly she realised that I wasn't prepared to be her boyfriend and used that as a technique to get her claws into me...

You seem to have a lot of insight into the matter ;-) Sure you've never been involved in a similar situation?

But I have friends who had very destructive relationships like this, and I was there for them through it, so I know what went on

No, never myself; I had a "standby" for a while, but we were actually headed relationship-wards till Lady Luck turned her back again
