Friends with benefits. Isn't the friend the benefit? :P
Once again, it's a personal choice. And don't let someone convince you that you can do it when you clearly know you can't or that you do have underlying feelings for them. If you are a young female know that you are worthy of something much better.
I have experienced it and it was over when the line was crossed...simple as that.
Set your boundaries, if you are going to enter into it, then honour ur boundaries from beginning to end...don't sit in denial and think it can develop into anything more if there is nothing more from the start...trust your initial instinct.
It is easy to get caught up in a moment but it is a whole lot easier if you are honest with yourself.
Females you should know that we release an endorphin that males don't have...in a simple version, it is called emotion...and this is released when in sexual contact with another human. (that is true, not me being sexist or derogative in any way!) That is a significant contribution as to why sometimes we may get attached while males can detach.
I think it is easy to judge people that do have this type of relationship but to me it is a bit like your sexuality, it is yours to express freely...there is no one sitting at the end of your bed judging you so don't sit at the end of others and judge them!
