What not to doDon’t come across like a desperate hornymale -- there are enough of them in the world. She wants someone who knows what he wants,is sure of himself and knows his way around the femalebody. Having a nice personality is very important too, especially if you are going tofrequently wake up next to each other. You can’t kick her out beforebreakfast. It has to be clear that you have a reasonable grasp of sexual and social etiquetteand are going to treat her like an equal, not like a piece of meat. You also have toimpress her just like you would any other woman, but you have to impress her in differentways, and on a whole, a lot less than normal. You don’t need to keeprepeating yourself, and don’t complain about how horny you are -- it comes across ascrass. Crass men are renowned as being the ones who aren’t that good in bed, anddon’t know how to treat a woman. Just because she isn’t your girlfrienddoesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve your respect. Don’t treat afriend-with-benefits relationship as a cheap commodity, but enjoy and cherish it for whatit is -- a supremely excellent situation that you should attempt to keep as long asit’s appropriate. Another no-no is sleeping with someone who has toldyou that they are looking for Mr Right. You are not him, so don’t use her. It willbe so much more fun with someone who is on your wavelength. If you sense it wouldn’twork out to be mutually agreeable, don’t do it. There are plenty more fish in thesea and all that.The pitfallsThere are some obvious potential complications to having a friend with benefits. Thefirst is that one of you will start crushing, and one of you won’t. The inclusion ofserious romanticfeelings past the general affection and attraction you will both feel for each otheris a problematic and regular occurrence. And it isn’t always the soppy femalescrashing head over heels either; guys are just as bad when it suits you. It is easy enoughto do and, since we are all human and designed to connect with our lovers on many levels,it can get complicated quickly. The other major problem is the crossing ofboundaries. You don’t want her calling you at lunchtime. You don’t want aninvite to her mother’s 50th birthday bash. You don’t want to go to the newrestaurant downtown. You do, however, want to call her at 1 a.m. if you are in theneighborhood and you want her to do the same. You do want her to spend a Friday night inbed with you, if she hasn’t received a better offer. Because most of these rules areimplied, if she oversteps the mark, you need to firmly but kindly set her straight, andhopefully she will do the same for you. It takes a decent pair of people to make thiswork. Other considerations are your friends. Will they accept this? Will theyknow about it? Is there anyone who will have a problem with it? You don’t needanyone’s permission obviously, but it’s good to be thoughtful of the peoplearound you and how your behavior affects them.Potential problemsKeeping you and your friend with benefits safe is important. If you are both free tosleep with whomever you choose, it is important to protect yourselves.Do you want the mother of your firstborn to be with your friend with benefits? STD’saren’t pleasant either, so keep them to yourself please. It would also be helpfulnot to sleep with anyone she knows -- despite loosely applied “rules,” youstill need to have some standards of human decency. Even if she presumes you are sleepingwith other women, she doesn’t want to hear about it.bouncing buddiesHuman relationships are frequently complicated, so to find a waterfall in the desert iswonderful and something that, if it goes well, you will remember with great fondness. Youcan have an immensely satisfying sexual relationship and friendship, with lots ofaffection, good sex and a laugh. It doesn’t have to be with an ”easy”woman, and you don’t have to act like gods gift or a ”player” -- justact like a person. Be yourself and enjoy not having to act like an ass to tryto score a girlfriend. Fortunately, she doesn’t have to worry if you would make agood father or if you do housework. The friend-with-benefits relationship relieves youboth of the burden of finding the right partner and you can just enjoy each other as is.
