I've had FWB relationship's, this ain't it. This is a hook up. I've also had a hook up. Not my proudest moment, and usually something I try to forget.

That's not even a Fuck Buddy!

To be honest, whenever men have sex. Something in their brains will malfunction, and then they will believe you belong to them. That would ruin the friend part, in FWB. And if that is not the case, they'll just want sex, no friendship. This is why F**kbuddy is a thing.

That’s a hookup not a “FWB.”

If it's someone you know and are already friends with, then it's not so risky in a dangerous sort of way, but it's still risky. Some people can have sex and keep a certain amount of distance. Others simply can't. It's hard to know which partner might end up with more attachment than either intended at the onset of a FWB relationship.

While it seems like it is always on, there are some influences which raise the intensity of the male sex drive. Female pheromones, visual stimulation and testosterone production to name a few. When these influences come together it can create some very intense desires which can overcome good judgment.

I feel like this kind of relationship would have to develop with someone who is already a friend or an acquaintance with whom you develop a sexual connection. I don't think it's easy to do this with a total stranger. Part of the benefit in FWB for me would be the safety of a familiar friend whom I know would care about me enough to make sure I wouldnt get hurt or taken advantage of.

No. And I don't think FWB is something that would work for me, although sometimes I think it would be easier.

My understanding of FWB is not "hop in the sack with pretty much anybody. . . . "

My understanding of FWB (I really could be wrong) involves people you respect and trust to a level that they have entered your friend circle and you have likewise entered their friend circle.

I’ve tried FWB, for a short time. It just feels like I gave much more than he did; the benefits were mostly to him. He’d buy dinner here and there and really, no friendship. He just wanted sex.
Sex is great, but I need some kind of connection, is what I learned about myself.

He obviously doesn't know what FWB actually means. He just wants the "benefits." I've never tried a FWB relationship. But it seems to me that it is something that would evolve, not something you advertise for.

Yes! Red flag!

That guy was looking for a quick fuck in my opinion. The world is a scary place for women, and I would be very careful if I chose that method to find a partner. I always remember what my doc told me way back when I was young and foolish. "Remember, every person that man has slept with may not have been without disease, and you could pick something up from him." It hit home for me when my best friend got herpes from a guy she met and slept with a few times.
