I had a roommate with benefits for a year. She was a blast. She also had a boyfriend, so I had to learn real quick to get over the jealous feelings when I saw them together. I eventually had a girl of my own, but me and the roomie would still have sex whenever the mood hit us (after all, the person you're dating isn't always there at 2AM when you're in the mood for a romp).
It was fun and we both knew that we were being used by the other one and we were both cool with that. When we went our seperate ways, it was simply because I needed to move for a new job. The relationship was built entirely on the fact that we lived under the same roof for cheaper rent and that we got along well enough to be friends. The sex was just this cool bonus thing. Keep that attitude, don't try to ever say the words "I love you" and it'll all be cool.
