It is possible, but you have to be very careful of emotions. I think as long as both people expect that there is as much communication and maintenance required in that type of relationship as with any other friendship, it's ok.
I had an amazing FWB when I was younger, before I was married. He and I were not compatible as a couple - far different in lifestyles - but we loved each other dearly (as well as not so dearly) and we were each other's go-to person for a couple of years. There was a lot of love and respect between us, though, and we knew that. It wasn't just about sex. We were truly friends with the occasional benefit of sex or making out, not fuck-buddies without all that much to say to one another.
The problem is that everyone knows what "benefits" are, but not everyone knows what "friendship" is.
