Explain the concept of friends with benefits (FWB).

What will be an ideal response?


Friends with benefits (FWB) is a variation on the casual sex theme and refers to a situation in which two people who are friends (not romantic partners) occasionally have sex with each other. Unlike hookups, FWB relationships involve just that-a relationship, which involves support, companionship, and common activities. Yet the sex occurs without the expectation that the relationship will become romantic.
