that's up to the person. I only seen where it ends badly. Personally I wouldn't engage in that type of relationship. IMO it's yet another way for males to get 'easy' sex without actually having to put much effort out. No thanks.
I agree with you, but don't you think that it's also a way for females to get 'easy' sex without actually having to put much effort out? or is it considered a norm in your book for women not to put much 'effort out'?
Sounds very strange your point of view.
They sound like consenting adults...who's benefiting more than the other??? (pls let me know, i'm curious)?
That's because women like her use sex as a weapon to get what they want. Of course they hate the idea of a FWB because it throws a wrench into their plans.
Who do you think a man would rather be with? Someone who is willing to have fun with them, or someone who has to make them slave away and rations out "fun time" only when she feels he's earned it? I rather be alone for life than be with women like that.
So what am I supposed to do run around 'putting out?' Oh let me go do that right now for the sake of all men. LMAO. It decreases my chances? To that, a big fat 'oh well!' I'm not doing things simply b/c other people do them. Either way it's none of your concern.
You can do as you like, but when two people are in agreement they both benefit equally.
If attractive women don't like to have sex, then this is a barrier to a healthy relationship. doesn't matter if it's fwb or a ltr.
In other words, it's never okay, because you can never be certain that a FWB relationship will never lead to anything more.
I know mine never will. Never. He is a 50 year old lifelong bachelor with mild Aspergers, obsessive hobbies and no interest in pursuing women. I am a 50 year old divorced woman with no interest in bringing full-time commitment into my already full life, especially to someone whose inner world operates so differently from mine.
We have been friends for 30 years, lovers for about 5. If we didn't get together as single people in our 20s, and we haven't gotten together as single people in our 50s, I can predict with certainly we never will. Because it is not what either of us want.

You have quite a high chance of being correct! Even still, I have the audacity to say... you never know. For example, some people may change their perspective on life in that final psychosocial stage of development, where people in general are believed to look back on their lives and ask "Am I satisfied with the way I've lived my life?"
FWB's can be fun but I stopped doing it because most of my FWB's were people I would NEVER consider having a relationship with. Even though, I am very careful, just the thought of possibly getting one of these people pregnant(unlikely but not impossible) is something I would regret for the rest of my life.
Maybe, it would be nice to have a FWB relationship with someone I would consider "relationship material" but then, it would probably be best to just have a normal relationship.
The last 2 FWB's I had, they both started expecting me to take them out on dates and I really did not feel the same way.

Especially if neither of us are interested in a relationship? We are both single, she hasn't dated in two years and neither I have. I know a FWB relationship gets a lot of criticism from some people, "due to it being strictly sexual". Sex is a good thing, and can be healthy for people under the right protection. This is the first time we are only having a Friends with Benefits relationship. Is it really all that bad? We both are on pretty good terms, good friends to an extent.
I'll tell you what I have always told my 4 sons. Bottom line. Do not have intercourse w/ anyone that you wouldn't want raising your children.

I agree 100% and this the reason why I stopped having casual sex, most of my FWB's are probably the last people in the world I would want to raise my children

So...you are not really friends with them?
