I don't know if this works. I think someone is bound to catch feelings. It's only human.

You start out as Friends, there are rules, and You try not to get attached.
After awhile You will get strong feelings, but You knew going in that You have no rights.
Then You want more, but You knew the rules going in.
It's like an Affair, but You get to do more Fun stuff,Sex is not what it's about.

Yes..No ..Maybe
My life for the last few years (job ) leaves very little time or emotional energy for even myself and even though I am damn lonely, it wouldnt be fair to even try to start a real relationship.FWB sometimes helps just to let you feel human again when there hasnt been any sex for a long time. Just to remind me that yes, even though I sometimes forget it due to the nature of my job/life..I am still a woman.Getting ones self off is fine..but skin to skin contact is just so totally different..
I have had one on/off FWB - started 15-16 years ago stopped about 10 years ago but we were still in contact..Recently started back up again. Only this time he started going on about how I was the best he has had,he would do anything to be with me, How our 'lovemaking' all those years ago were what kept him going..Really freaked me out and I told him. I told him he really needed to go out and chase some more skirt or something because I really dont think he has a lot to compare me too.Also said we never made love..we had SEX.I knew the difference and if he didnt I really felt sorry for him because THAT feeling is so intense, orgasam or not..He has since backed off but staying in touch..we shall see.
On the other hand I had a FWB that was working until I was the one who started having feelings. But it didnt help that he would do things and say things to me that in my opinion only people in a relationship do..buy me flowers, talk about his day, You know the companionship stuff..not the let's screw and go on with our days stuff. He stopped that one whaich was good.We are still very good friends even though he has since moved to another state.I see him a few times a year through work and he always comes up and gives me a big hug, sometimes calls me just to talk and always says " You know I really miss you" But now I know what he really needed from me ( then and now) was just a good friend to listen to his troubles and such.
So sometimes it can work sometimes bite ya in the ass..

I think they dont! Someone always gets emotionally attached!
I agree!

with me, the "friendship" ends, and it just becomes "benefits"...
Then if you continue to reap the benefits, they decide your the boyfriend.. and it gets creepy!!

I had a guy who I was FWB and it was great...Till he developed feelings for me, and then became controlling, Sometimes one another develops feelings...which isn't a good thing.
As far as women with drama...well even guys have drama..but there are women out there with NO drama..or at least very little.  Trust me..I'm one of them!

It can work. But you have to be able to not go past the line where it can become something else. Mainly don't spend too much time together---Make sure BOTH of you can handel it. Alot of times it sounds great--why not?-then its oops---now what?--and everything is over. I have had only one that became too close to me---but it was partly my fault--I should have stopped it when I saw it was heading that way.

It can work if you don't spend all your time trying to "draw the lines" or "make rules".
Do what FWB's do.... spend more time being "Friends", and a little less time being "Benefits".
..again, not that I would know.

maybe for others it works. I have to say I want more than that. Friends first. Then see. If it goes further then so be it. But just to get together for "benefits" Naw I'm not the one for that. JMO
