I think you should not try it.
Being just friends and doing this casual thing will hurt both of you and your relashionship will never be able to be the same again. If you get attached to your friend then you would never be able to be the same way around him.
I have seen this. There was this friend of mine and she was very very close friends with this guy and because of this stint in between they HATE each other now. They never want to see each other and litreally abuse each other.
I am sure you dont want to be in that situation one day, so I think you should just remain friends!
But at the end it is your decision, sit down and think about it..
Hope I helped.

Friends with benefits is one of those things that if you end up doing you need to be aware there could very well be some consequences.
Friends with benefits often ruin a relationship between two friends, and likely overtime if not two then one of you could end up developing feelings for the other.
I think your best bet is to let it pass, FWB often leads to drama, betrayal and sometimes it can ruin a friendship. It's a risk you take, Is going along with it possibly worth the sacrifice of your friendship?
I've gone down this road, I was good friends with someone and we had a thing going and before I knew it 7 years passed and I haven't seen or talked to the person.

Oh dear god...so you an your friend wanna try the old FWB, Friends with Benefits! Honey, that is the oldest male myth of our time. The FWB never works!! You can't just fool around and not have any feelings. Yeah, maybe for some time, but then later, there will be feelings! The FWB just comes with too much emotion, and it can never be casual! Someone will always want to go serious in the end. And I'm speaking from experience here. I thought the FWB would work, so did my other friend. We had both broken up with our boyfriends, but for some reason, we couldn't let them go. So there comes along the brilliant idea of the FWB. And it worked....for some time. Fooling around was fun, made you feel alive...but soon enough, we fell in love. Now, me and my ex and her and her ex are together again! Which is not a bad thing, unless you don't want a relationship. So my final answer, is NO! Friends with Benefits always leads to:
1) End of friendship
2) Start of Relationship
