FWB = Friends With Benefits.

Genuine question. I'm interested in the concept but wanted to know more about how that actually works out.

How does that type of relationship start?

Is it healthy?

Can it be really unhealthy?

Anyone here have experience with a FWB type relationship and how did/is that for you?

    Yeah gotcha.

    I'm not aro but I'm also not looking for a long term relationship so that kinda how i got interested in the concept.

    Going out purposefully looking for a FWB seems to be wrong headed. Just making friends and being honest about what I want seems like the correct way forward. Do you think that's right?

      depends really

      looking on hookup/dating apps specifically for FWB is fine, so long as you are both upfront about what you want
      making friends and being open about it works too

      first one is friendship that grows out of sex, second is the other way round
      both have worked for me
