So after reading a previous thread I'm wondering what the difference is between fuck buddies and friends with benefits? I've assumed they were the same but clearly they are not, what's the difference between the two?  |

From my limited understanding, they can be one and the same quote often.
FBs are usually just people who regularly hook up together, but FwBs tend to have a solid friendship there in addition to regular hookups. |

"My definition of a fuckbuddy would be someone you hook upwith only, whereas a fwb would be someone you spent time doing other things with as well as having sex, ie meals out, nights etc"

"fb = sex only = fuck buddie
fwb = buys her things , takes her out , meals , drinks weekends away etc = a friend with benefits"
This 
And I love my FWB true friendship. Talk about anything love spending time with each other but we know it won’t work as a full on relationship |

^ this. I find the lines can get so blurred. My fwb booked theater tickets to a show i wanted to see and a posh hotel. Dinner drinks etc. Amazing time. Love his company. But he confuses the hell out of me x |

FB - no pretence at anything other than using each other as a sexual outlet
Fwb, deliberate ploy to ensure a regular supply of sex and companionship while denying commitment |

I dont want that either. I am never getting married or living with anyone again. But I think I'd like someone who is mine (like a boyfriend) who we saw eachother when we could but left eachother alone too! So maybe i am just after a fwb? |

You can have a committed relationship without marriage or living together |

"I guess the real test would be how long the friendship lasts if the sex were cut off
"
i have 3 long term friends who we have had friends with benefits and back to friends and we remained close. yes was hard for one or the other but true friendship is never smooth

"Agree 50/50 on everything, I hate feeling like I owe anything or am owed anything. Seems the definition is different depending on the relationship you have "
And does it really matter? So long as the people involved are all happy with it - or are they???? |

"For me FB is simply turn up have sex and go. A FWB is someone you may have more of a date experience with. Afternoon shopping, food or cinema and then something more naughty later. "
Mmmmm something more naughty than shopping? Shoplifting? hehe |

I’ve done this too.....but don’t think she got confused...was a show I wanted to see too....and to be fair she bought plenty of the drinks....and the kebabs at 2.30! |

Wow! My husband never did all that stuff. I certainly wouldn't want a fwb to. Sounds more like a sugar daddy. I like the other definitions of friendship that have nothing to do with people buying each other stuff. |

I'd be careful if I were you, you're essentially giving your time, your emotions and exclusivity to someone who wishes to deny you commitment of any kind |

"We are fwb, for us it works well. Neither of us want a conventional type arrangement. We do support each other too. "
I personally think the situation which is mutually satisfactory is far less readily achieved thanks people like to think.
And of course, even if it starts out that way, anyone can have a change of feeling or develop dependence on the relationship. |

Not exclusive. Otherwise it's a typical boyfriend girlfriend thing.
FB just meet for sex.
FWB is friends with benefits. So it's a friendship..spending time together and enjoying cinema, meals out whatever plus sex.
The name explains it to me |

So a “relationship” where they speak most days as friends ...with obviously sexual talk and innuendo thrown in a lot of the time.....but not a given....but they are half a world away (one in U.K., one in US) but when they are back in same country they make every effort to see each other for sex....what is that? Still fuck buddies.....or FwB’s ? |

If the main thing they get out of the relationship is sex, thats the reason to get together ....FB. If it's all about Friendship and they do stiff together and support each other when things are good or bad. That's a general friendship...so FWB |

I agree with Juicy.
For me FWB leads to better sex as you get to know about the person etc. Great way if having a partner for sex and gun as well as for a laugh without it being a relationship in the traditional sense. Meeting when free and getting on with life the rest of the time
Great profile and pictures Juicy |

What does urban dictionary say? They are the Oxford English Dictionary equivalent in this world.
Fuck Buddy
When two friends enjoy the benefits of sex but are not committed to a relationship with each other.
friends with benefits
2 close friends who think it would be fun to have sex with each other again and again. Until 1 falls in love and gets their heart broken when the other doesn't want a relationship.

This is my understanding as well, V can have if she chooses a reg fb but we wouldn't be comfortable with a fwb. That's just for us together. G |

"So it depends on how strong the friendship is beyond the fucking then "
That's our view...
Marion and I both have a Fwb... people we've known for years through work and were friends first before we converted them from the friends zone into the Fwb zone through a lot of time flirting, etc.
They both know that we swing and know that our other half knows about them.
In each case, we're primarily friends first, but we meet from time to time to spend time doing friends things (sightseeing, going out, theatre, walks in the park, etc - like dating) and we fuck as well. |
