GUIDE TO...FWB

Trying to set up this scenario without the consent of the other individual is a bit twisted...should be a very clearly defined relationship

Waayyyy back in the day I had a very successful FWB situation. We had fun while it lasted. I actually introduced him to his now wife. But I think such arrangements usually do not end so well

Did the wife know about your arrangement prior to dating him? Are you still friends with both?

The wife did not know, and I am guessing she still doesn't. There was no reason for her to know. I introduced them after the "benefits" had started to fizzle, so wasn't a big deal. And yes, we are still friends.

Booty call or committed relationship. Anything in between just muddies the waters and is bound to cause grief.

Answers will vary here based on someone's own definition of the term. Some people think a fwb is someone you have known forever and you decide to just have sex to satisfy each other's needs. This will rarely ever work.
I have seen a lot of men online looking for fwb. It seems almost like causally dating with no exclusivity. They want to go out to dinner or to events but ultimately the night will end in sex. They don't want to talk feelings, text every hour or meet your family. They want someone to occupy their time when mutually beneficial and then go on about their lives without being tied down. This can work as long as both people understand the end game and do not have romantic feelings for whatever reason. It's possible, but not probable to keep these people in your life after it ends

If they don't buy you a chinese combo dinner plate, including a half order of wonton afterwards, then just say no to FWB.

Hi folks,

Maybe you haven't heard but we've rolled out updated community guidelines. They include:

5. Keep it Clean (we mean your language)
I WILL:
• I will be respectful in the words I choose; this includes usernames.
• I will be mindful that this is a workplace friendly site. If you wouldn’t use that language in front of your boss, mom or anyone in public, please don’t post it here.
• I will post medical or clinical themes related to sex or sexual health in a mature manner.

I WON'T:
• I won’t use explicit, sexual, insulting or vulgar language or sexual innuendo.
• I won’t get creative trying to get around the profanity filters by the use of non-alphabetical characters to approximate expletives or other objectionable language.
• I won’t post topics with the intent to titillate.

Please take some time to view our updated guidelines here, and ensure your posts comply with them.
