You've probably heard the term, but if you haven't, it's a common term for when a friendship becomes intimate with the understanding that both parties are still just friends, and not in a relationship. It's intended as a way to work out sexual frustration with someone you trust and know, as opposed to looking for one night stands.
The question is, would you ever consider being part of such a non-relationship? Are they a morally acceptible practice (to you)? Do you think that they ever work, or that the friendship becomes doomed because of the sex? Is sex (and other sexual acts) only appropriate in relationships and fleeting trysts?
As always, let's please try to keep this flame free and mature. We're not all adults here, but we all can at least behave like we are.
It's a more intimate friendship, to be sure, so if there's a misunderstanding and/or splitup it'll probably involve gore, but I've seen 'em work before and I don't see why they'd be wrong.

If I can get even one person to take me seriously and give the "wtf" reaction, the terroristsI have already won.
In high school, we called it "having a fuck buddy." I think fuck buddy sounds better then friend with privlidges 
HARRRRRRRR
I don't remember another fuck buddy argument
I think it's perfectly fine to have a friends with benefits setup if both parties understand and accept the setup. I think where people run into problems with this sort of thing is that they don't recognize the fact that they can't be part of something like that and not get attached. Or they already care romantically for that person and that person only sees them in friendship.
But if there is mutual understanding and acceptance, I think it could be a perfectly civil agreement, and mutually beneficial.

Taylen had this to say about the Spice Girls:
It can be rewarding when you are not in a serious relationship with anyone and you both know you are not compatable relationshipwise, but you are close enough to be intimate. Though it can be a bit ackward when you start out as it's harder to intiate sex sometimes without the raw passion being there.
Dude, who needs raw passion. I mean, yeah, it helps, but I could fuck a cantaloupe as long as you left it on the counter for a couple minutes to take the chill off.
No, Really. Bite me.
