No because one of us will either miss each other again, sexual intentions, get jealous, get pissed off etc.
I just know most of the time something bad usually happens.

Sounds all good and dandy, CSD, but its just not reality. We humans aren't robots; its in our very nature to have these emotions (jealousy, insecurity, anger, fear, etc) they serve us a purpose.

Personally, I can be friends with former fwb, but I find women are one the most jealous creatures on earth.

Life and relationships are so much easier not to have ex f-buddies that weren't good enough for a real relationship, but rather a booty call whenever I was horny.

Strongly inclined to NAY.

#1 - the new, fully legit relationship deserves a clean slate, free of baggage and distractions.

#2 - in the LONG RUN, the past is bound to come out, somebody will overshare, make inappropriate joke, or inevitable comparison. As the pirates say: dead men tell no tales.

These a different things though. FB /= FWB.

I agree with you on a FB. Not on a FWB. It seems people don't really make distinctions on here regarding these two things, but they're fundamentally very very different relationships.

This! Why would you tell your S/O that you have (or had) a FWB with someone? That would be just dumb!!!

Yeah, the "FWB" thing. It's not a "relationship style" that I personally would get involved with, and no, I would not be with someone who thought that it was actually a good thing to remain friends with someone that they had non-relationship sex with.

Just fundamental incompatibility.
