I agree with timberline. FWBs and FBs are not the same thing, and I've had both. In my opinion, former romantic or boy/girlfriend relationships are best for FWBs. This is a person you like and trust, someone with whom the sex is good but there's no long-term compatibility. An ex with whom you're friendly can be a good FWB. You already tried to be boyfriend and girlfriend but it didn't work out, so there should be little to no "what if" feelings, like you might have with someone new. Not everybody is cut out for this type of relationship.
FBs should have some "friendliness thrown in" and "chit chat." That's called not being a dick.
So, are you as a woman happy in a long term FWB RL? Is that the only intimacy you have or do you have somebody else on the side? 2 partners in the same time period?
People who stay in FBWs with the same person for a long time, are definitely sleeping with at least 2 persons in the same time period, using the FWB person on the side, when "the mood strikes." She being the "other" woman What woman wants this over a long time? Except if she herself sleeps with 2 men in the same time period. As already said earlier many people involved in FWBs , also called FBs, there is actually no difference, both focus on the sex, are married.
Have fun in your FBW (FB) RLS, are you married now?
Oh sorry ... I was labouring under a misapprehension!!! Thought you were a bloke and not a bird ( sorry )
It's certainly logical especially after knowing someone for so long in that capacity ..... That's the beauty of it that you are not exclusive so technically you can both come and go as you please .
It was me years ago to sleep around ( but never when exclusive with one ) I had a regular FWB however she's now got serious with someone and he's a great bloke so I'm very happy for her . but now I usually stick to casual ONS ( that id meet on a night out for example ) or the occasional fling etc...... Don't really need to chase it at the moment.
When it does happen though it is most certainly fun so thank you for that .... And no not married! Not by a long shot LMAO
Based on what you present in your OP I doubt that you are the type to dabble and engage without you getting attached on some level and with that hurt.
Women worrying about sexual prowess is silly to me. In my experience one of the best things that a woman can do is be eager and glad to be there, those two things alone will easily be great for most guys, the finer points will be learned when said first two are in place.
I wish I could tell a story about a woman I was with and be able to put it PG13 . I'll have to stew on it, but the gist is that she wasn't "eager and glad to be there"
That was a huge turn off enough so much so that I still remember it 30 yrs ago.

I am female, btw.
FWBs and FBs are essentially the same.
Men introduced the term FWB to make it more palatable to women.
A woman asked "do you want to be my Friend with Benefits" will probably say "hhhmm, yes."
A woman asked "do you want to be my f**kbuddy" will probably say No.
Both are about Sex, only, and FWB is the hypocritical term for the term FB.

Well, it is all perfect for a dude, ONS, FBWs = also called FBs, what they actually are, not so much for a woman.
Inspite of all the feminism and the calls for equalilty a woman who behaves like that would be called degoratory terms....sleeping around.
I guess you are still young and hope STD free??!!! :-)))
You seem to have very rigid definitions about different types of relationships. People don't always fit neatly into predetermined categories, and neither do their relationships.
Only the ones who do not want to hear in what category they are put, do not want to hear it !!!!!

Not by me they don't!!! ..... They won't get labelled nor have to put up with me casting aspersions about them as I'm most respectful towards women.... That's one of the main reasons why I don't have trouble meeting them IMO
With assumptions, name calling and other derogatory terms...... It's usually by jealous, bitter people that have no luck with dating....... So who cares what they think?

You say:
"An ex with whom you're friendly can be a good FWB."
You sleep around with exes? How does a warmed-up soup, a leftover, taste? Not for me!

But society, in general and still, is much more accepting and forgiving to men than to women.
