Have you ever thought about joining a friends with benefits relationship with someone that you know? Have you ever been physically attracted to someone but didn't want anything more than that with them? What do you do when you want to sleep with someone but not really date them? A friends with benefits relationship can sound like a very good idea up front if you are simply seeking some physical relationship. However, there are some things that you should keep in mind if you are considering doing this...

First of all, not every friends with benefits relationship has a happy ending. Some end quite badly, in fact. This happens when one of the partners decides that they want more and the other one doesn't. So what do you do if that one is you that wants more?

Men and women view sex differently. Men can very oftentimes have sex with a woman without feeling an emotional connection to her. On the other hand, women develop emotional bonds with their sexual partners pretty frequently. Do you think that you will be able to sleep with someone and not develop emotional ties?

There is also a chemical called "oxytocin" that you should be aware of. It is responsible for making a woman emotionally bonded with the man that she is having sex with. You might have heard of it referred to as the "cuddle hormone." Oxytocin makes you bond with your sexual partner. Remember this hormone when you are thinking about entering into this specific type of a relationship.

However, if you feel that you can control your emotions and your hormones and that you won't have any trouble separating your physical act with whatever is going through your mind then it might not be a bad idea. Just make sure that both of you remain in full communication with one another as far as expectations go. A friends with benefits relationship doesn't have to end badly as far as both partner are on board and know what they are getting into.
