People are not machines and cannot turn off feelings, say psychologists. That's why the "friend with benefits" option often ends up the wrong way. Discussions about friendship between a man and a woman do not lose their importance.
Some claim that it does not exist, others claim the opposite, others have found a compromise - friendship with privileges. What does "friendly" sex lead to: the loss of a friend, the beginning of a strong romantic relationship, or casual sex? This phrase refers to sex without strings attached, but sometimes it turns into something more. Especially if one of the partners enters it with romantic ideas.
Some people wanted to become romantic partners, others hoped to be friends again after a period of "recovery", and still others just wanted to stay in the casual scheme as long as possible. All this variability affects how the story of friendship with benefits will end, writes the magazine Beauty and health.

They were examined at two different points in time, about a year apart. The sample predominantly identified as female 70 percent , white 74 percent , and heterosexual 72 percent , with an average age of In the first survey, participants were asked what they hope will happen to their current schemes in the future. They were also asked how satisfied they were with their relationship and the boundaries of the relationship.
In another survey, the researchers asked them whether the nature of their relationship had remained the same or had changed over timeβand, if so, why.
