Friends with benefits can do things couples can do except without being labled as a BOYFRIEND and a GIRLFRIEND, when you ask if they want to be friends with benefits with you, you both have to agree on what those BENEFITS are, and it doesn't have to contain sex. If you both agree on sex, then it's also considered as friends with benefits.
Guy: Want to be friends with benefits? Girl: Sure, but what are the benefits? Guy: Hugging, kissing, holding hands. Girl: No sex? Guy: Nope Girl: Okay sure then. Thats an example of becoming friends with benefits. You can choose the benefits you want! It doesn't mean you have to have sex or oral or anything, as long as you decide the benefits you want and you both agree on it, then its official.
Friends is perhaps a little too generous here too but appropriate if you and a person who already had an established friendship drink a little too much spiced rum one evening at a party after everyone else has gone to bed and decide that you suddenly find each other attractive. It may be possible for you both continue to stay friends and occasionally root each other but eventually your friendship will be ruined for an approximate period of three years. After that time you may be capable of laughing about it without feeling awkward. Meeting someone for the first time, having sex and then trying to develop a friends with benefits type relationship can only work for a short period of time because you did not become friends first. Calling yourselves friends is just a simple excuse to continue to root without having to deal with the difficult conversations about who leaves the toilet seat up.
