Sex with a friend. Good or bad?

actually, what started as friendship sex, turned into a relationship for me, culminating in a marriage, so as you can see, there are two sides to this coin. :)

If it's casual and can stay that way, great. Just keep expectations out of it. Friends with benefits works if both know the limitations going in.

If you're trying to cross into a relationship, then it's very hard or impossible to go back. Sprite, of course, didn't go back. Congratulations again Rachel!

Have fun!

Positively speaking, sex with friend is good, provided they both have good sex, in fact it's very good to have sex with a friend cause you know your friend very well as compared to new people one meets/dates, one of the finest things about making love with a friend is that there's lots of caring, there's openness and this opens new avenues in the relationships, all for good !

Yes if you are rebounding from a broken relationship. Some great friends-with-benefits-sex can be a life saver!!!!

There have been a lot of 'relations' between almost all of the members of my friendship group at university. The situation verges on being completely fucked-up; it's a wonder we're all still such good friends.

Luckily, we are able to laugh about it all (although there are still one or two 'no-go' topics).

Friends with benefits can be great. It can also be a recipe for disaster. I've had a lot of fun with it in the past.

I second this.

If you think there is a chance for a good relationship, go for it.

If you are thinking of just something casual then you have to evaluate the risk vs. reward and that's different in every situation.

as long as you two can remain friends and it does not get awkward or start expecting something from the other half then it is good. but it rarely ever happens.

I am comfortable around my friends and I'm comfortable with being naked around them, and that's a beautiful thing, sex need not be intercourse it can be just playtime

If you and friend are adult enough for friendship to survive sex, as opposed to an relationship, go for it!

It can be a very good thing
I can think of a couple friends whom I have a much more open/trusting relationships with than I what have with my (very jealous/controlling) husband. I would (and have) feel much more comfortable having a sexual encounter with one of them than with someone my husband might find out about

I had an MMF encounter with my buddy's GF once and, if anything, it made us closer ...
We could talk about just about anything after that. We'd seen each other naked, what else did we have to hide?

Can be good, can be bad. Just depends on the individuals involved.

I've done the friends with benefits thing and it was excellent for a while. I was fine with it but the other person got weird about it. I find people who are into it and seek it out, but aren't necessarily good at sustaining it. But, it's also partially my bad for picking those types.

I've dated someone who seemed to view me as more of a friend than a lover-type (had more to do with her views on relationships) but there was a huge compatibility there. So, I suppose that was technically a friends-with-benefits scenario. Not that we have sex now (she lives on a different continent) but we still keep in contact. I suppose it could happen in the future, but it's nothing I'm counting on.

All that was a roundabout way to say that it depends on the people. I don't think there is a hard-and-fast (pun intended) rule to say whether it will work out or not or if it's a good idea or not. It comes down to the personalities involved.
