One Night Stand VS Friend With Benefits - What Do You Think?

If you are married, or if you are a good boy/good girl, you dont have to answer that question. I'm directing this question to the single people who may find their way to my little hubpage. I'm asking single people which of the two are more convenient and less of a hassle.

Here are my thoughs...

Both one night stands and friends with benefits have their advantages and disadvantages. Some prefer the quicky, while others prefer a regular kind of thing.

• Friends With Benefits Advantages  By far the best advantage of a friend with benefits relationship is the fact that it allows you to have a regular partner with little or no commitment.  If you enjoy sharing emotional sex with a partner, a friend with benefits relationship allows you form a connection with no pressure.  Also, if you take the benefits away from the equation, you are still getting a pretty good deal! Having a friend from the ranks of the opposite sex can be very beneficial to your life!  
• Friend With Benefits Disadvantages  What I've found to be the biggest disadvantage of a friend with benefits relationship is the fact that it could end at any time without prior warning. Maybe your special friend finds a boyfriend/girlfriend, or maybe he/she just gets tired of you. No matter what, it will come to an end one day!  Think about it like this... When you buy a new car, you drive it a lot in the beginning just to show it off. After a few months, the car becomes a normal thing in your life and you think less and less of it. When it's time for a new car, you could care less about the relationship that you had with your old car. You want something new!  The same theory applies to friends with benefits. It will get old, and either him/her or you will want something new sooner or later!  
• Advanges of One Night Stands.  Whether you are for or against people having one night stands, you still have to admit that for a person that loves to "get some" regularly, they have a lot of benefits!  For one, if you become pretty good at finding and closing the deal with one night stands, you will "get some" as often as you want. There are plenty of people in the world from the opposite sex as you that want to have fun just like you.  Another major advantage of one night stands is that there is no commitment at all. Usually both participants know what they are getting themselves into (unless they are really intoxicated), and both participants usuall know that they shouldnt expect anything more than that night of fun.  
• Disadvantages Of One Night Stands  The biggest disadvantage of a life full of one night stands is that they are a very serious risk to your health. Too many people know what a condom is, but only a small percentage of sexually active people actually use them.  You have no idea who your one night stand partner has been with in the past, and for all you know, he/she could have an STD!  Another disadvantage is much less dangerous. If the fun that you had was really really good, you may not have the chance to experience that fun ever again with that person. A one night stand is a one time deal! Anything else woult be a friend with benefits relationship or a regular relationship!  

Have you ever had a one night stand? What about a friend with benefits? If you answered yes to either of those questions, you are not alone!

The days of waiting until marriage are over. Society has become more open with their sexuality, and the average male and female will have more than one sexual partner in their lifetime.

A Federal survey was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, and here is what the results said about the average amount of sexual partners in a lifetime.

CBS News featured an article about a survey that was conducted by the National Center For Health Statistics. Here is what the article had to say about the amount of average sexual partners in a lifetime.

"The average American man has sex with seven women during his lifetime, compared with four male sexual partners for the average woman, according to a new federal survey that used high-tech methods to solicit candid answers on sexual activity and illegal drug use."
