Scott Redmond and Rachel Norris April 10, Sounds like a dream come true, right? Human beings are emotional creatures. More power to them. While the two of you might have agreed to be fine with that, reality is far harsher than what we can imagine at times. Crossing that barrier with a friend will invariably change the dynamic of a relationship forevermore, making it hard to go back to being friends.
A friend offers this safe space as you already know them and they know you, and there is no judgement, just a physical connection without the emotion. At least that is the goal. There are the people who think that it is a horrible idea, and people who like the idea of it, and I am one of the latter. If you catch feelings easily, then sleeping with a friend is not for you.
Having a friendship with sexual benefits is a situation for somebody who is not looking for a romantic relationship or commitment. Me and my male friend are still very much friends today, even though we stopped with the whole benefits part of our friendship.

The pressure of commitment is off and sometimes the relationship can unfold naturally, according to the research.
