"   If you&amp;#039;re getting it on with a buddy in a friends with benefits relationship, you&amp;#039;re prob having safer sex. A new study suggests that 64 percent of those in a FWB situation are using condoms, while 94 percent of those in a long term relationship aren&amp;#039;t. Um... Safe sex is the best sex! Sure, casual sex can have its benefits, as recent research suggests, but catching a STD does not.  So, okay, FWBs are having safe sex, but researchers discovered that the sex itself isn&amp;#039;t so hot. Why? They found that friends with bennies are less likely to communicate their desires to each other. Scientists also discovered that couples in LTRs are more likely to not use condoms because they trust their partner. Hm. That&amp;#039;s great and all, but having safe sex doesn&amp;#039;t only protect you from catching a STD, it can help prevent an unplanned pregnancy. If you&amp;#039;re having a hard time getting your man to wrap up, try one of these sexy moves to help him put on a condom. Want more from Dara? Follow her on Twitter @dadeeyo.
