that being said, i think it's entirely possible for two people who don't know each other very well to have a successful (no weird emotions, etc.) one night stand/casual sex. but when the people are already friends, there is a history involved, there are already feelings of some kind there. even platonic love for one another can completely screw everything up.

I'd say it depends a lot on if one or both of the parties involved are being monogamous. If both of them have an understanding that they are free to sleep with other people and they do so, then it can usually work out.

I've got 2 friends with benefits. Both of them are ex girlfriends of mine. It seems like the way to go sometimes because there is no commitment there. I really don't see myself getting married and tied down at all because I get tired of the same girl pretty quick. Maybe things will change when I get older but for now I'll probaly stay single for a long time.

i didn't say anything about only the girl getting emotionally involved. it happens just as often with the guy.

when it doesn't work out, it's because BOTH parties aren't in it for the same reason. It's when one agrees to it hoping that it'll lead to something more, that all hell breaks loose.
But if both parties have their head right, it's a beautiful thing
