Friends with Benefits?

As we get older, men and woman alike, find it harder to find steady relationships because their criteria for their mate has become more solidified. Not everyone is applicable at this stage. What ends up happening is you find a particular individual, a friend who you share a sexual attraction with and decide to add a little spice to the mixture. Here begets your friend with benefits.

The problem occurs when your friend with benefits starts becoming more than just a sexual attraction but an emotional one as well. Now this doesn't happen all of the time but some of the time it does. What's worst is when your friend with benefits turns out to be a great guy/girl. Some individuals have to decide whether they are willing to keep the sexual relationship even at the expense of their feelings or end it and spare the heartache. Its' harder for woman to detach sexual feelings and emotional ones, that's' an easier task for men.

I think ultimately, someone gets hurts, because one party is never as willing to let it go as easily as the other. Friends should remain just that, friends, a little flirting here and there never hurts but anything more is just setting your self up for trouble.
