FWB and Fuck Buddies are different, just saying

FWB and Fuck Buddies are different, just saying

When I get asked if I want to have a FWB(Friends With Benefits) , I always have to ask if they know what it means. Because lots of people think fuck buddies are the same as FWB. No, it is NOT the same!
Fuck Buddy, it starts with fuck. The main reason to be with the person is to fuck. You say hi now and then. You might chat for a hot minute before or after fucking. You kind of have a combination of regular sex and spontaneous booty calls. But mainly it's a booty call to fuck with someone you are familiar with. No shame in it. Some people need that type of thing.

FWB or Friends With Benefits, it starts with friends. FRIENDS! So you are mainly a friend with that person. You text, you chat, you hang out with each other now and then. You chill out and have some laughs. You also have sex. You mostly have regular sex, not to be confused with routine sex. You have days and times that you are available to have regular sex with each other. Sometimes you can fit in spontaneous booty calls. It's not complicated. You aren't in a committed relationship. You don't expect things you would in a relationship. You like each other. It's not a big deal. Some people rather have this kind of thing.
Of course there are some differences in each situation that are tailored to the people involved. It's not cut in black and white. But there are differences.
So figure out what you really want and know what you want to discuss about it with a prospective person. If you jump into it thinking that you know, but it turns out to be wrong, then you are in for a bad experience. The best thing to do is discuss these things beforehand. Don't be afraid to ask questions. You want to be with the right person in the way that's right for both of you.

Sakura, I have said this for years and had people argue with me. You explained it far more eloquently than I tried. Nice one.

Yep... I can see that.
I've experienced both.
FWB is tougher to manage without things getting complicated...
You know what I mean? 🤔

Can you have both at the same time?

I say why not? If you can have both, that's great! Just be sure to communicate. Enjoy and good luck!

Whether it is a FWB or a simple FB the parameter have to be defined. They can only be defined by proper communication.
All the parties have to be on the same page.
For me just a Fuck partner would never work, I guess I live very much in my head so maybe that is why.

"It's a relationship.If there are parameters discussed or boundaries it's a relationship." --- This part of what you said is something that I wholeheartedly disagree on. If you don't discuss things with a lover, whether it's conventional, FB or FWB I think you are setting yourself up to fail from the start.
Communication should not be whittled down to just family and friends and if you are not kidding yourself co-worker's. Communication should be in every aspect of your life in order to make it successful and give you the happiest experience.
But I can see your point of view. I have had a FWB in which we called the sex quits just because the friendship was way better without it. It wasn't about finding someone else first and we stayed great friends. I think this was largely successful because there was communication in the beginning and throughout.
If whatever you are doing is working for you, then it really doesn't matter. Don't fix it if it is not broken. However, if it is not working for you then perhaps you should give a little more thought about how communication might help.
Like I said it's not black and white, it's tailored to the people involved. If you are successful then fabulous! If you aren't then I hope you have better luck.
I thank you for sharing your opinion and I'm going to think more about it.

It really comes down to thee who has last word calls the shots.You do the same with
an FB as well.You discuss what you both want out of it.If you're doing other people as well.Once demands are made for what you'll be doing and where you're meeting it's a relationship.

If someone has to tell the other it's over.It's a relationship.If there are parameters discussed or boundaries it's a relationship.
The whole FWB thing is really just a ticking time bomb that two people enter into and the first to find someone else doesn't have a problem because you were just a friend anyway as if to say you weren't really my friend because they'll never see each other again.

Using more than all the road!
