Friends With Benefits vs Sex Buddies

Many people make the mistake of thinking that having a friend with benefits is the same as having a sex buddy.

These people are sadly mistaken.

A friend with benefits is someone that you go through every aspect of a relationship with but is only missing the title. The two of you have the strong dynamics of a friendship with sex added to it.

The blog Friends with Benefits: How Friendly? How Sexual? says that most people who engage in being friends with benefits end up remaining friends after the benefits come to an halt. 

The two parties engaging in this friendship with benefits, both have to be single and able to hang out with each other without an awkwardness getting in the way of their friendship continuing. 

This is completely different when dealing with a sex buddy.

The most work that a sex buddy has to do is be remotely attractive to the other person .

You don't have to agree with a sex buddies' views simply because the two of you shouldn't even be conversing to the point where you would even know what they are.

Although I don't condone cheating, if done correctly, your sex buddy could essentially be your "side chick" (the person on the side during a relationship).

There are three things that a sex buddy and a friend with benefits both have in common. They both need to:

1. Remember to stay in their place (don't overstep boundaries)
2. Remember that in most cases, the way a relationship begins is usually how it will end 
3. Remember to not get your hopes up or go looking for anything more than what it is, which is just sex.
