I must say that I have had a lot of experience in this area, not only having friends with benefits, but as a "swinger" as well. In my experience there is only one way to have a functional "friend with benefits"; one MUST be able to separate 'lovemaking' with 'sex'. If you are in a relationship with someone, then you 'make love' to them; If you are a F.W.B., then you are having 'sex'. As long as you can separate the two, you can function well. At one time I had an ongoing F.W.B. for over 6 years, and the only reason it ended was that I moved to another state. There was no 'hard break up' or anything of the sort. After I told her I was moving, we had one last tryst, and that was it. We still talk on the phone, but no emotional ties, so no problems! That's my input...lol
