I had both.....the FWB is far easier & much less complicated.....
This but ultimately when the time is right I prefer a lover.0 -
lover, no doubt. i've had the fwb thing and it's ok, just not as fulfilling.
somehow pink floyd comes to mind:
"The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature;
This will not do." :laugh:0 -
I'll take 3-5 FWB's please.0

Reading all of these, I STILL can't make up my mind!
I guess it ultimately depends on the personality of the individual whom I am considering for the job! (Now accepting applications - LOL)0 -
Why choose? Go poly!0

I've had both. And would have to say Lover.
FWB is just sex. nothing more. yes it might get the job done but without an emotional connection it doesn't do anything for me. I have a battery operated friend for that. and it doesn't talk. or give me herpes.
The best orgasms come from a mental/emotional connection. For me. The extra work and time that goes into keeping a Lover vs. FWB is totally worth it.0 -
Soulmate.
Yes, I am one of THOSE people. The romantic that makes you gag.0 -
At different stages of my life I've had both, and they both met the needs I had at that particular time. I prefer a lover, but if I'm not in a position, or mental/emotional state, to return the affection, then a FWB is much more fair to the other person.0

Which would it be, and why? Those are your two options only.
A lover is a person that receives more than just sex. They receive words of affirmation, kindness, caresses, cuddling, kisses, and everything that centers on and around those feelings and acts. The ‘love’ portion of a relationship. A lover is only marginally involved in your entire life. You may discuss a few things here and there, but it’s mostly about making each other feel good.
A FWB is a person that, while you MIGHT hang out once in a while, you will only call on for sex – the physical aspect of it. This person will not get upset if you don’t call them for days, but will always be a willing participant (as long as it works for both of you) for the physical. There is very little cuddling and no need for words of affirmation.

THIS!!!!!0 -
Been there, done both..................now I have a wonderful husband, and he's the "Lover".:bigsmile:0

Per your definition, my current FWB is actually a lover. But somehow, guys never respond well to the title of "lover". Probably the first four letters. And it kind of creeps me out too. I prefer to refer to him as Mancandy and leave it at that.0

I am curious if any one who posted in this has changed their opinions - it's been over 4 months since this was originally posted.
I still feel the same, but crave "more" than a simple lover.0 -
FWB.
Sex me and get the hell out of my sleeping space.0 -
A lover. I'm over the FWB thing. It's nice, but not enough.0

^^ This.
^^^^ I also agree with this0 -
Seeing as I am married, I am going with a FWB. I can't spend anymore time worrying about someone else's emotional needs.0
-
Been there done both, and both filled a need at the time. I right now am thinking I want to go back to Lover. I can take care of the basics myself.0
