The 5 rules of having a friend with benefits

While it may have ended romantically for Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in the movies ‘Friends With Benefits’ and ‘No Strings Attached’, but in all honesty; often you really just have friends who purely and solely interact with each other for one thing: sex. ‘Bumping uglies’, ‘roasting the broomstick‘the horizontal hula’, ’hanky panky‘; however you want to call it. Ideal of course if you are not looking for a relationship, but just want to please your sexual needs. But if you want it to go well, make sure you stick to the following five rules:

1. Discuss the ground rules

Prevent future confusion by clearly indicating from the start what is and what is not allowed. Are you just using each other for sex? Is it okay to stay over at each other's place? Is it something you can or cannot discuss with your friends? How do you handle it if one of you meets someone else? Just make sure that, from the day you decide to try out all these positions, the rules are clearly stated. 2. Give and take.

Look, such a relationship must of course be beneficial for both parties, so make sure you give as much as you take. Not only in terms of sex, but also in terms of reaching out to each other. If you always go to him as soon as he calls you, but he hardly comes to you, then it’s not right either. 50/50 doesn’t always have to be the case, but you have nothing to gain from a fuckbuddy if it’s only about his needs.

3. Let yourself go.

This relationship is purely based on sex, so be open about what you want, how you want it; all your

. This is not the boy with whom you will discuss profound things and emotions. It’s all about lust. sexual fantasies. 4. Be nice to each other.

Don’t forget that it’s called 'friends' with benefits, right? That doesn’t mean you can treat each other like crap. If you’re not feeling it anymore, don’t resort to the

ghosting technique . It should never be used anyway. Be a grown-up; just say how you feel.. 5. Don’t fall in love.

Abort mission if you realize that you actually like him more than just as a fuckbuddy. Be honest about it, because it could also be that he has those same feelings, but if not: save yourself the heartache and stop it.

While it may have ended romantically for Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in the movies 'Friends With Benefits' and 'No Strings Attached', but in all honesty….

Happy humping!
