"Friends with Benefits" appears to be a fairly common sexual arrangement these days. But is it really the fantastic strings-free, whenever I want it, sex relationship it's supposed to be?
Apparently not.
A study, conducted among Michigan State University students, found that actually they can be quite awkward relationships.
The survey results (which were distributed to 125 students) show that many people in such arrangements worry that one or the other will actually fall for the person. Additionally, these friends who could once talk about anything, now feel awkward talking about sex and their relationship.
This article goes into it more, but my reaction is that "well yeah, what did you expect?" Of course, sex makes your friendship complicated- how could it not?
But I guess it could work if you absolutely clear that it was not going to lead into something else- but then how would you know that?
I don't know. Maybe you would get better perspective from talking to one of your friends who was in this arrangement- according to this study most college students have been in a relationship like this at least once.
