Friends with benefit: the phrase used for two heterosexual adult humans who usually meet occasional for the purpose of casual sex. Simply explained as friends who benefit mutual casual sex from each other. This is a more complex sexual adaptation than it meet the ears, it’s definitely not as easy as having a friend you have mutual sex with and then everybody goes home happy, it’s a little more complicated than that. Sometimes someone develops feelings for the other which is a don’t in this business, that someone always ends up getting hurt.

Having the perfect friends with benefit (aka f**k buddy) relationship may be difficult, but it is not impossible. Friends with benefit relationship is best suited for people that are sexually attracted to each other enough to have sex but not compatible enough for a relationship or simply two emotionally unavailable people who like each other and are just looking to hit it off without emotions or commitment. We’ll fill you in with the does and don’t of this kind of relationship. You will have to follow certain rules and keep boundaries clear so that the situation can remain mutually beneficial and fun.

Be Clear About What Your Relationship

From The Start Advisably before you commence with this kind of relationship it’s best you state your intentions and clearly so both parties know what they are getting into. If you find yourself growing emotions and hoping for an actual relationship or commitment, save yourself from heartbreak and end it. *Find each other interesting & sexually attractive or matching* It’s important you both find each other interesting and develop the ability to be able to hold interesting conversations because you’re not having sex the entire time you’re together and awkward silences and boring conversations are tends to cause loss of attraction. Since Sex is ultimately what brings both people together you ought to be having fun in bed unless it’s of no point.

Don’t Hang Out Often

Make sure you don’t see each other more than necessary, keep appointments and communication to the barest minimum and also avoid unnecessary calls, only do that when you need to schedule an appointment. By doing so you’ll be as emotionally detached as necessary not to want more than required of each other.

Know Your Relationship Has A Shelf-Life

Since you’re not dating you have to understand that this arrangement is temporary and can be called quits by either party at anytime without prior notice and it’s time to move on without any hard feelings

Don’t Encourage Hang Outs With Friends And Family

Do your best to keep your hangouts away from friends and family, it gets emotional around these people. No family reunions, weekend friend parties, business dinners etc. let your meeting points be restricted to mostly public places or your apartments. This way you keep each other out of your private lives, a place which is temporary for both of you.

Avoid Sleep Overs

After sex it’s best to put on your clothes and go back home. Cuddling, sleeping over and breakfast in the morning usually tends to complicate things and create room for emotions to slip in. *No Social Media connections* Social media these days comes with a lot of scandals and all sorts. It’s good you don’t connect this way, that way you’ll avoid knowing anymore than you need to know about their private or social media life than is healthy for this kind of relationship..
