The most positive point about being friends with benefits is the availability of easy sex, without all the pressures of being in a committed relationship. This situation works best if both people clarify their situation before going into it. Both people must know that it's solely about sex- therefore, he or she cannot accuse the other person of using them because they both acknowledged their status from the start. Because, let's be honest, both people are in fact using each other.
It leaves the door open for other relationships. If you're not officially dating someone and only having casual sex, the odds are you don't really have strong feelings for then. Therefore, you can still get what you "need" and keep looking for other people- or even date other people- in the mean time.
This type of relationship could leave to a long-lasting relationship. If you're already good friends, and you trust each other, why not take it to the next level? Have you ever heard a couple in college who have been dating for a long period of time say, "He/she is my best friend!" A good friend really respects you. A good friend really cares about you. A good friend is someone you actually enjoy spending all your time with. Many people in college believe that you'll never find a more honest relationship than a friends with benefits relationship because you know exactly what you're in the relationship for.
