When two friends want to flirt, touch, hug, and mess around or more without having to commit or wonder if they are dating.
Me and Kris are "friends with benefits" and now we can flirt and be all over each other without having to date.

a person who one fucks on the side when not involved in a serious relationship. NOT to be confused with a boyfriend or girfriend, to whom (gasp!) commitment would be involved.
My friend with benefits constantly tells me about how he is still in love with his ex-girlfriend...what a sonofabitch.

There's two different meanings. (See example below.)
Girl: "I just wanna be...friends with benefits," usually means: "Yeah, you're cool but...I don't really wanna be seen with you. Sorry."

Guy: "I just wanna be...friends with benefits," usually means: "Yeah, I just wanna get in your pants without having to do anything for you."

He is the man I was looking for. But because of the difference of age- I am much older- we stay as friend with benefits. Never will I find such a good friend and lover. HE is. But....
