Let's Talk About Sex

Dr. Schwartz says you can also enhance your sex life through a friend…with benefits. She says she has had one for more than three decades!

"We get together, we have a great time," Dr. Schwartz says. "We adore each other, we respect each other, we have great sex, and that's it. It stays in that little category and it doesn't get out of it."

Of course, Dr. Schwartz says that a friend with benefits is not a substitute for a deep, loving relationship. It's also not right for everyone—you and your friend must be aware of the limits and boundaries of the relationship so as not to cause jealousy or forced love.
