Another pro to this type of relationship is simply the partners tend to feel mutual towards the idea that this is "just sex". This allows you to not get your feelings to deep into the relationship while being able to still enjoy the sexual aspect of the relationship.

Along with this feeling of wanting to be more than friends, you tend to become jealous of the things you see or hear your friend doing and you begin to treat this friends with benefits like it is a relationship subconsciously. Soon enough, the question pops up! More times than not study shows females ask this question more than males. The question "so what are we?" soon arises. This leads to an ultimate end of a relationship in a whole if the partner is not ready or willing to take this friends with benefits role into the next step or the step the partner so desires. If the partner declines, the relationship immediately becomes awkward. There is a tendency of lack of communication, enthusiasm, sex, and trust between the two. The person that is most satisfied with the relationship is most likely to want to keep it at the level of just "friends with benefits". Ultimately, the relationship comes to an end and even worst the actual friendship tends to come to an end. So before you jump into the relationship with your friend, think about what you really want and also the type of person your partner is and what he or she really wants. Communication is key!
