"Who needs commitment when you can have sex without getting the rest of the baggage?" This is the mantra of friends who share more than just the food on their plates. For people who want to keep it plainly physical, friends with benefits may just be the perfect type of relationship for you.

There are, however, a few things to remember before entering this type of relationship. Take note of these pointers:

• You need to be honest.
In a business deal, you get what you ask for. It’s the same in this scenario. There is no need to be coy or shy about what you want, or else you will not get the pleasure you desire. You should always be honest to your “F” buddy with how you want to the “F”ed.

• You should practice safe sex.
Golden rule in a ‘friends with benefits’ relationship. We get it, you’re in it for the sex and sex alone. So it’s pretty self-explanatory that you would want to avoid sudden pregnancies, or worse, STDs – especially if you have multiple “friends”. Always practice safe sex and wear protection.

• You need to be emotionally stable.
Well, sex can sometimes complicate things. It’s an intimate act, which explains why it is mostly done by people who wish to be intimate with each other. For ‘friends’, if the boundaries are unclear, it can lead to a messed up situation that can ruin your entire friendship. You should set the rule: you cannot fall in love.

• You should be sexy and ready to go anytime.
Just because you don’t see a serious relationship with them, does not mean you should totally let yourself go and not make an effort. As a good “friend”, you should see to it that your sessions are worth both your while. You should still be sexy and ready to go anywhere and anytime.

• Your text conversations should be 90% sext.
Boundaries, ladies and gentlemen, boundaries. Once you open the door to emotions, it can flood you both up and this can ruin the entire setting. Text conversations should 90% be about sex and the other 10% should be where you are meeting them later for the sex. If you’re sex buddies, small talk in text messages is not necessary.

• You should avoid clingy acts.
Hard limit to every ‘friends with benefits’ relationship. As much as possible, avoid introducing them to your family or relatives. They may know some of your friends but hanging out with them should not be a regular thing. Avoid cuddling, sleeping over, buying each other stuff (except a condom) and cheesy acts. Yikes.

• You should be open for other relationships.
So if you’re not in a real relationship, it means you are open to date others. You’re not exclusive to each other. Otherwise, that makes it a real relationship and you’re probably just in denial.

One important thing to note is that there is really no "relationship" in this type of relationship. It's just physical pleasure. Think of it as a business negotiation and deal: stay professional, deliver the agreed requirements, no emotions and mind your own business
