I don’t think you can be totally detached from someone you meet on a regular basis.
Anyone who states the opposite are either lying to themselves or cold.
The clue is the description of that person : FRIEND with benefits, consequently, you must have some sort of friendly feelings for that person. |

The trick is to have 3 or 4 friends with benefits, that way everyone knows it's just NSA fun.
I have only depend feels for one guy on here and now he is my best friend, but we never had sex. |

I agree with the above. It’s FRIENDS with benefits. And feelings are always going to exist. In my opinion they should be positively encouraged. The more trust that’s built, the greater the connection, I’d argue the better the experience. Especially when looking to explore fantasies or push your individual boundaries.
I’d question anyone who says they have no feelings for the person as not being the right type of person for that type of relationship. And that’s ok, everyone’s different |

Interpretation, Friends With Benefits from our experience are friendships that can go a bit further contain an elementof NSA between our friends but is a benefit. Not the mission. It is a kind of but we would go out, drinks, meals, bbq, walk dogs and holidays as friends do, but with the added benefit of sharing sexual experiences together, in the mood takes, so there is a level of attachments as we look out for each other.
Opposed to FB which get together purly for the purpose of sex only, either together with others. |

"What is your interpretation of FWB. Yes NSA is the obvious response  does anyone find it hard to not catch feeling? Or is it easy for you to stay emotionally detached?"
Why you need to implement some rules if you want to sustain it.
Examples
* No kind of date stuff, just more about the sex
*Don't talk too much about private life
* Only txt to arrange to meet
* Don't talk to each other about other meets etc (causes jealousy, resentment)
* Don't see each other too often
Things like that |

Agree but that is only okay if the recipient knows that her/his fwb sees him/her as okay to fuck but not okay to date. |

I'm sure OP can work it out all by herself. After all, women on here are just trying to trick magnificent studs into relationships, don't be falling for her cunning method of drawing you in now 
The question was the definition of FWB.
I have no issue with just having fuck buddies. I have people that are good booty calls without attachments. But a friend with benefits includes the friend part  |

'does anyone find it hard to not catch feeling? Or is it easy for you to stay emotionally detached?'
That was also part of the question, if you read it properly.

Absolutely and it’s nuanced isn’t it. From experience I’ve only had one FWB relationship. We were friends, laughed, joked, hung out and yes, had sex. But we’d both entered the ‘relationship’ with an agreement we didn’t want a full blown committed relationship, but liked each others company and were attracted to each other. I’d agree it doesn’t really work if not on the same page so you’re right to clarify it |

Yes i was making suggestions as how to catch feelings like the op said.
I might be a bit more lax with a friend with benefits but not much. |

It’s not NSA if you’re friends. I think you meant fuck buddy?
Personally for me , a fuck buddy is emotionally detached by definition , if you’re catching feelings it’s a relationship. The detachment is what makes it a FB |

If FWB = Friend with benefits (sexual), then we could ask you: are you emotionally detached from your friends, generally?
Add sexual "benefits" to your own definition of "friend", and there you have your own literal meaning.
Presumably, the distinction between FB & FWB can get blurred, because it's a spectrum. On the one side you have the people who see each other once every now and again, don't know each other at all outside of a sexual context, and have no emotional connection at all. On the other side, you have close friends who decide to take things physical, and are in all but a full-on relationship. And almost every conceivable combination in between (sometimes with differing views).
But perhaps your question is not simply one of definitions... You're questioning whether it's easy not to catch feelings. That probably depends on each individual, how strongly you define the threshold for "feelings" (since almost everyone has them, to an extent) and a whole host of other factors. Complicated by how hard it is to be honest with ourselves.
Good luck |

In my case it's someone i can chill out with on sofa, drinking beer, watching movies, fighting over remote control, chatting about whatever we like. Send random messages to at 3am.
And have amazing sex, curl up next to afterwards and stay the night.
But no commitment to each other, and we are free to meet whomever we like.
At least, this is the current situation and is open to change as we both see fit. |

There are some people I could never live with, but are friends (shared interests etc) and who I enjoy having sex with. While I may have some affection for them, it's not love! |
