If it is really a friends with benefits, then no, I already have feelings. I care for my friends. I'm not in love with them, but I care for them. I think most of us have feelings for our friends, so there are feelings before the benefits start.
Most people seem to what are FBs, FWBs on here, and then criticize them as failing.
Sure, but it's rare. I think usually because some women, it's usually women that get attached. I assume they settle for FWB or sex partners, because they already like the guy, and even a casual arrangement is a chance to get with them, and in hopes win them over. But that only leads to them getting even more sprung when the Oxytocin kicks in. Whereas many guys may do casual with women they don't see as fit for a girlfriend, least for them.
All the casual relations I saw or heard of, went up in flames with the girls attached.

My friends who have had the most success with this arrangement (yes some are women) have said the trick to keeping feelings at bay is to keep any meeting limited to simply the sex as much as possible. No cuddling, limit talking about other topics, leave as soon as you are done and have taken the proper time to recover.
It's theoretically possible, but in reality, usually one of the people involved will start expecting/wanting/needing more, along the lines of a relationship.
