As much as they fantasize about it, people are always?hesitant to start up a sexual relationship with a friend ? especially if they just want sex and not a relationship.?No one wants that awkwardness of just being friends after countless nights of banging each other out, but it?s not as bad as you think. ?Studies show that your friendship might survive friends with benefits.
About 60 percent of college students participating in a 2011 Michigan State University study admitted to engaging in at least one FWB arrangement at some point in their lives. You don?t say!
? But here?s the shocking part: They also found that just 26 percent of FWB actually ended in a wrecked friendship. Here?s a better way to look at it: 74 percent of FWB relationships DON?T destroy the friendship.
?Most people who enter friends with benefits relationships don?t want relationships, but they still have sexual needs,? says study coauthor Timothy Levine, Ph.D., professor of communication at Michigan State University. ?And they likely conclude that sleeping with a friend is safer than sleeping with a stranger.? The possibility that one person is secretly pining for the other isn?t really all that likely. In fact, you?re both probably just using each other until someone better comes along.
Now you probably won?t get a lasting relationship out of it, but at least you have a greater chance of keeping your friend. Have you ever done the friends with benefits thing with a friend? Did your friendship last afterward? Did it turn into a relationship?
