Perhaps somewhere down the line, you'll want to settle down, have a family and get married. The good thing is that you know that you're not ready for a commitment as evidenced by the fact that you don't even want a boyfriend. Having a friends with benefits relationship, however, has many drawbacks. You or the person you're in the relationship with may develop an emotional attachment and even fall in love with each other. From that point, things become more complicated. You really have to think this through and decide for yourself if this is what you really want.

It can be fun, entertaining, and keep you warm on a cold winter's night. But make sure you both agree completely on the terms up front. Such a relationship can end in disaster if one person has a secret desire or hope that it will turn into more.
The Average Guy

Very people can keep a sexual relationship on a just-screwing basis. How are you going to feel when you're out at a movie and he looks at some girl and comments about her? Under your scenario, you don't have a right to say anything. But you will probably be offended because you consider you and this guy to be in a special relationship. However, the very nature of your question says it's not. Very few women can let a man into their body and say they feel nothing for the man. Don't do it.
