    lol...this! Usually someone lets feelings get in the way. Its a nice theory that it can work, but realistically it almost always ends up badly!

    Back before I was hitched I had one of those. It was a good thing. I had needs, he had needs... we each enjoyed being single and so it was a win win. When we parted there were no tears or hard feelings... bonus!

    Just so you know... The guys in FWB relationships get feelings too. And expect you to make them sandwiches! Or try to stick around to talk!

    Yeah, AND I don't cuddle!

    Years ago I had a few. Most were amazing and we were great friends and had a blast. One ended getting her feelings hurt.

    Rules. There need to be clear defined rules. Otherwise emotions wreak havoc.

    ^^^This. Works perfect for me.

    My fiance was a "with benefits." Bypass the friends part and it makes it even better.

    also if it is friends with benies there should be NO rules. If you are a grown adult you should understand all it is for is sexual pleasure.

    Rules=relationship

    I dated a guy for 6 years and have now split up with him but we have a FWB thing going, as we ended on very good terms due to not wanting to lose each other as friends. Its much better now as we both have freedom and don't have to deal with the emotional toll of a long term relationship. So far so good!

    Do you need anymore friends???

    Sorry couldn't resist that one!

    I never had a problem with it, until my last experience where I fell head over heels for him. I got burned badly, and still haven't recovered. Never again!

    Got one and it works great for me. I am a single mom and have no interest in bringing other men around my kid until she is older and I know that he is sticking around for the long haul. She will probably be ready for me to "have a relationship" before I will be!

    In the meantime...

    It seems like a lot of people consider a FWB to be synonymous with a booty call. I define a FWB as being someone that you hang out with and sometimes go do things with (the "friends" part of FWB) but make no claims or demands in terms of monogamy, frequency, etc., whereas a booty call is strictly: Hey, wanna come over?

    Either way, as long as everyone's on the same page with their expectations then it's all good. But finding it is harder than you might think.

    They turn into relationships with trust issues. Case in point: my boyfriend (next to me in my profile pic) whom I absolutely adore knows I'm a major freak who would love to **** every male friend I have. Consequence: I no longer have male friends. It's a trade off, but it's also a drag when I need a last minute backpacking buddy etc.

    That's how my FWB worked... It was someone to hang out with enjoy each others company, as well as adult pleasures... The main thing is to have fun, none of the 'relationship' hassles... But you still talk about all sorts of things, and you can be very honest to the other person.

    Excellent, its like not having to pay a prostitute or pay for dinner with date. However, sex is WAY better when you have feelings for the person.
