‘Friends With Beneﬁts’ Drift Apart

“Friends with benefits” — the seemingly perfect relationship with no strings attached, may not be all it is cracked up to be according to a recent study titled “Negotiating a Friends with Benefits Relationship.”

The study conducted by Melissa Bisson of Wayne State University and Prof. Michael Levine, communications, Michigan State University, asked 125 young men and women about their relationship experiences. According to the New York Times, the study reported that 60 percent of people surveyed were involved in at least one FWBR. Only 10 percent of the people said that their FWBR became a romantic relationship. One third claimed they stopped having sex and just remained friends, while about 25 percent stopped having sex and called off the friendship.
