Friends with Benefits... Yay or Nay?

russ, he's only interested for ten years down the road.

Incidentally, joe, stop listening to the seasoned pros around here: these kind of situations, like Sassafrass said, require a lot of open communication. They also require such a large amount of maturity levels on both/all sides (taking other types of "beneficial" relationships into account) that if you're considering one as a kid, it's time to drop the idea. At this point, just have random one-night-stands, instead.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's not just something to be cautious about, here. This is really one of those things that you should be absolutely certain that there will be no feelings involved. For example, if both parties are already emotionally connected with someone else, and all four+ people understand that there is nothing emotional, and purely sexual. That might work. The problem is that even with total maturity and understanding an unwanted surge of emotional attachment might/will come up eventually, and that's when it's got to be put down.

But you both are so similar, so I forgive myself.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
