sexual friends

the other day i was having a normal conversation with a good friend of mine. all the sudden she broke down and admitted to me that she had had a friends with bennifits relationship for over a year with a guy who suddenly decided to end their friendly romance.
That got me to wondering about the benifits and pains of a friends with benifits relationship. Certainly it can end in heartbreak... but so can a typical relationship. The idea is a good one. We can just be friends who also have a sexual relationship. there is no need for feelings to get involved. We are friends who understand each others sexual needs and are willing to be there for each other.
Its a good idea. but an unreasonable one. Personally i think its more dangerous for the woman. We are more likely to become emotionally attached after sex. Its almost impossible not to. I believe that it is in most womens nature to desire love and a proper relationship. Obviously there is the exception to every rule.. but i think that i can generalize and say for the most part women are more likely to get attached. I think though that no matter which person it is, one person is always going to end up getting hurt.
personally i think its in the best interest of both parties to avoid this sort of heartache, I know many people disagree though so im interested to hear your veiw on it.
