I don't mix friendship and love either way, so for me I guess it is a moot point.
But personally and from an ethical point of view (i.e., my standard for me; not judging anyone else here), FWB is anathema and I would *never* do that. Not ever. For me, the rules are simple: if you love someone, you love them. If you're friends with someone, you're friends. Apples to apples. But not both. FWB is like mixing apples and oranges. Plus, FWB removes love entirely from the whole equation. So it's completely useless for me, especially because I want both love *and* marriage, before I even get to the benefits part.
Me and my guy have been FWB for awhile and have been saying "I Love You" to each other. We both were friends before getting sexually involved and not wanting a relationship at this point.

Wow, an honest woman! Now be prepare to be sacrificed to the FWB god!
Been, there. Done that once. Didn't work because he'd bring it up and some of the best memories of us together involved sex.
I'm guessing the post relates to a previous thread. Can it work as friends only, sure it can and he needs all the friends he can get right now. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Move on sweetie, you don't have to tell him everything.
You can't have sex with someone and then go back to being platonic.
Obviously! Platonic love is a chaste love that is non-sexual.
You can be real friends and have sex as well, and the sex can come and go without affecting the friendship. That is the essence of FWB, though not always achieved. Having been there and done that, I know it is possible, and know others who have also. And I also know some who have failed. It depends on the people involved.

Diff'rent strokes, and all that. I think sex and friendship, in the FWB context, do not go together. If you have sex with someone, the feelings you feel for them go beyond mere friendship.
Do you think a FWB relationship can go back to being platonic friends
It didn't work for me. I lost one of my very best friends that I grew up with because we went "there". We tried the FWB for awhile when we found ourselves both single at the same time for once in our lives. But he wanted to get married and he talked about babies and it just ruined everything. We've been in each other's lives since we were both 15 yrs old. It still hurts me deeply that we aren't friends anymore. I'm very mad at myself for hurting him and I'm mad at him for pressuring me to the point where we had to end our friendship.
