A friend w/benefits can work, as long as you both continue to keep it that way. I had one, who lived w/her boyfriend. It went find for quite a while. Then she wanted to know why I never said I loved her. (?-still w/bf) She lost sight of the fact that it was what it was. I'm not saying you can't change the situation (to exclusive), but you still need to consider anyone else involved. In my case, she wouldn't leave him, so I didn't bother.
Bottom line - you have to keep your emotions in check, which sounds easy. It is, at first. The longer it goes on, the harder it will be to do.
