It depends. Every relationship, including FWBs, is crafted by the people in it.

None of my FWBs were the same. Duh.. Different people like different things.

He says that my feelings for him doesn’t bother him and I shouldn’t stop telling him How I feel. Idk what to do? Should I just ride it out?
Of course figuratively and literally.

I love my friends. Of course I would want to show them physical affection in and out of bed.

When I had FWBs there was never had a problem with either of us getting attached. Maybe its a life stage thing? None of us wanted to be in relationships at all, much less with each other. But we still had fun going out and having fun together as companions

Cuddling with a FWB is like going to a Japanese steakhouse and filling up in the soup and salad then not being able to eat the meat and rice because you filled up on the soup and salad before.

I say just stick to the damn business which is the sex, no games, no BS, no time wasting. If you want cuddling, find a legit romantic relationship. A FWB satisfies a need for sex no more,

You are speaking about a FB. Not a FWB. Completely different animals.

And cuddling for many people can be part of the foreplay and afterplay, it IS part of the sex for many people.

I think most sexually active people understand the role of touch before and after the "damn business" of sex.

And also that you can feel close and connected with someone but not want to be in a relationship with them.

FB is not the topic.. FWB. Friends have more of an interest than just sex. Sheesh...

Okay, so if this is a friend whom I am attracted to so much that I sleep with him, it means that I like being close to him. Which means, I want to cuddle. If there is no desire to cuddle and be close, there is no desire for sex either.


My main reason for having sex in general is to be close to someone and feel him. Sex for me includes cuddling, it starts out with cuddling many times and ends with it. Actually, I go one step further, I would even prefer sleeping there all night instead of going home. If I am not comfortably sleeping in the same bed, I wouldn't feel comfortable having sex either.


I've had "cuddling only" friends also. Cuddling is something I really, really miss when I am single. I am a happy single but I do miss the cuddling part. I had to give up my cuddle friend because he got too attached.
