Friends with Benefits Rules

Friends with benefits! This, for some men, is the ultimate relationship. You get to have great sex, without worrying about being a good partner – because you’re officially just friends. I would love to say there are no issues or problems in friends with benefit relationship, but emotions tend to get in the way. One person can find themselves having real feelings for the other and if the feelings aren’t returned, this can lead to some serious emotional injury.

To avoid any tricky situations, follow these ‘friends with benefits rules’ to the letter!

Rule 1: Do not Romance Her
Treat her no different than any other friend, male or female, until the benefits are abound. Attraction can be tricky, but ensure that you are only attracted to her sexually and as a friend. You are both there to release some sexual tension; you are helping each other out, any show of real emotional feelings needs to signal the end of the relationship. It is absolutely essential that if either of you start to have feelings for the other you must talk about it. Upon discussing your feelings, you may uncover that you both feel the same. It might be that it’s just a one-way thing. It’s best to know either way, really. If she ends your ‘friends with benefits’ due to someone else coming along you need to be able to let her go, as it was never going to last forever anyway.

Bottom Line is: If things change or you want things to change discuss it with her.

Rule 2: Wear it or Wear the Consequence
Roll it on before you start playing. It protects against unwanted pregnancy, as well as STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections). Even if your friend is on the pill, it may feel better without one – condoms are essential equipment and she is likely to respect you more for it.

Rule 3: You have the right to say No
It really is. It is ok if you need to turn down your friend. When you have sex is entirely up to you as well – and the fact is that not being allowed to have you will most likely make her want you even more next time. Women are considerably more attracted to men that can hold their own and dictate terms to them.

Rule 4: Balance
Sex can be fun, but real life comes first! Don’t jeopardise your job, your education or your friendships because of sex – no matter how much you enjoy it. While you are not having fun you need to actually live your life. Make sure you keep it in perspective.

Rule 5: Only when you’re Single!
The number one most import thing about friends with benefit rules? When single, you can sleep with any girl you wish to. If you get into a “relationship” you can’t! Friendships can continue if either of you move on, but you both need to agree that the benefits will end if this occurs.

Although it’s okay to have “friends with benefits”, rules are essential. If you follow these basic principles you can make the most out of a fantastic situation.
