Casual Sex is Spiking and Friends With Benefits Are More Popular Than Ever

If Hollywood’s unflinching narrative on friends with benefits tells us anything, it’s that casual sex between buddies is anything but casual. The story is always–always–the same. Two super hot singles want to have sex, so they establish an unofficial friends with benefits partnership. “It’s just sex,” they agree. “Nothing more.” One of these characters will eventually develop deep feelings for the other, thereby voiding the contract and allowing everything to go to shit. After some self-reflection–often set over a moody ballad–these two beautiful beings realize they were in love all along and blah, blah, blah.
