Bah. Too many replies to read so I'll just say my piece.
I always liked the idea of a "friend with benefits" because of the sheer lack of candidates in the right mind set for a relationship and it is great for mental health (since an active sex life can do wonders) if both parties can maintain whatever terms they're on if any.
I don't know what is official or common but I was always fine with whatever so long as we were open about our intentions and actions with other people for our mutual safety. I honestly doubt anyone would be fond of the increased potential for transmitted infections because their partner is a shady slut with no real cause.
The whole friends with benefits thing never worked out for me because I was always too trusting of the other person. I mean, I was open with them doing whatever with other people so long as they keep me informed so I could A) Know what I'm getting into if we continue what we're doing and B) Not interfere with whatever their plans were. Of course this was always too much "freedom" so the inevitable unwarranted drama would ensue.
