Does Friends With Benefits Work For Everyone
By rodrigo rehn
We have all heard about "friends with benefits" which is basically a friend or acquaintance that you sleep with but are not emotionally attached to. This is an idea that appeals to a wide range of people and you may be wondering if friends with benefits is something that could work out well for you.
If you stop and think about the people that you know who have gone down this road you will be hard pressed to find someone who is happy about the outcome. This is not to say it cannot work, but if you look at the past of the friends with benefits you might want to think about it long and hard.
Does friends with benefits work for everyone? No, it doesn't. There are some people who are just not cut out for this type of relationship because they are very emotional and they are looking for an attachment. Friends with benefits only works for those who really do not want a relationship in any manner whatsoever. If you secretly wish for more than friendship than you aren't looking for this sort of relationship.
Who does friends with benefits work for? It can work out for those people who just want a sexual relationship but don't have the time to give to an emotional relationship. If you travel a lot or just don't have the desire for companionship a friends with benefits relationship may be great for you. If you are fresh off of a breakup or not in the emotional place to give to another person, this type of relationship may be an option for you.
If you are considering this type of relationship you should think about who you choose. You may not want to choose a best friend or someone that you could not imagine having in your life. If things go wrong you want to be able to make a clean cut without damaging any long lasting or important friendships. You should also make sure that you don't attempt to have this type of relationship with someone that you secretly love or want to have a monogamous relationship with. If you do this, you are only going to get hurt.
You need to consider if just having a physical relationship with someone will be enough for you. A lot of these relationships don't work out because one person will develop feelings and want more from the other person, this is just human nature. You need to determine for yourself if this is something that you can actually do without getting hurt or hurting someone else. Choose your "friend" carefully because a friends with benefits relationship can leave a path of destruction in its wake if you are not careful.
