I always thought the benefit was you get to sit home alone on holidays because you've got no partner and you've neglected your real friends and family for the sake of bad sex. So many benefits come along with FWB, add yours!!

Noted! I also like the benefit where any pain, missed work, or expenses due to UTIs, STIs, and unplanned pregnancies, are yours and yours alone to deal with. Empowerment!!

How about almost getting you to climax and then he just forgets to finish you off - or doesn't care. Probably both. Let's not forget the awesome "You knew what this was. I never lied to you".

Constantly getting put in your place through micro-aggressions like being left on read mid-conversation and "joking" snide comments about your body.

Lmao these are good someone should start a satire thread of ‘benefits’

I felt this WAY too hard. RIP my former self.

And he won’t even respond to your happy holidays message like your real friends do. It’s almost like the friends part was a lie
[–]BelovedembraceFDS Newbie76 points77 points78 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
The friends part was always a lie on their end. Even if you were willing to be friends, and give the same courtesy you would your friends. They don't give a damn about that. It's only about getting theirs. Fwb is absolute bullshit.

This. They mean fuck buddies but FWB sounds better, even though it’s not the truth
[–]thowawaywookieFDS Newbie7 points8 points9 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It shows how petty and small they are. It's done on purpose.
Even the most casual acquaintance or stranger you interact with in public will say at least HH to you too.

The benefit is disrespect and abuse on top of absolutely terrible sex
[–]FirePreferredFDS Apprentice63 points64 points65 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
yep, always terrible.
[–]Confidence_RelativeFDS Newbie68 points69 points70 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Exactly and there is absolutely no ‘friendship’ either. As if!
[–]OxkissyfrogxOFDS Newbie27 points28 points29 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It only works if YOUR only getting head. Your almost always guaranteed an orgasm and afterwards you can tell them to fuck off. If you have a fwb and your not doing that then your being played. I've learned to set my casual sex standards to the same as men; me first, you maybe(never).

I like your style!
[–]biggestsighFDS Newbie152 points153 points154 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
There is also the benefit of self reflection as you doubt your self-worth when he stops talking to you because he has a girlfriend.
[–]stg21987FDS Newbie17 points18 points19 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
And marries her ugh

I want a friend with benefits, and by “benefits” I mean he will pay for me, drive me around, and help me get promoted. All while not asking or pressuring me into having sex. So can we make this happen? Cause that is what is beneficial to me 🤷🏻♀️
[–]shipintheskyFDS Newbie8 points9 points10 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hmm 🤔 I like this version

Absolutely no benefit (for women) with friends with benefits.
He gets free sex. Has to give no emotional or monetary commitment which is bullshit. Only thing they offer us is STDs, helping our self-esteem get lower, and pointless sex. Women who give it away for free please look in the mirror I have a deep discussion with yourself.
Why would you need a man when your vibrator can do a 10 times better job, gets you off 100% of the time, and it’s quicker, bigger etc.
Save the sex and intimacy and bonding for someone who deserves it. Honestly another reason why there’s so many low value males because there’s so many low value females they don’t even have to try hard to impress most women.

Seriously. Vibrator for "release" and pet dog for whatever sense of companionship you need. At least the dog will love you unconditionally and welcome you home every day.

He gets the benefit of bragging to his loser friends about it and you get the benefit of looking like a a woman with no self respect. 🙃

STD that’s all there is
[–]spicyspaFDS Newbie39 points40 points41 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Lol if a guy asks to be FWB we should ask what sort of healthcare coverage (US)
[–]GettingOffTheCrazyFDS Newbie18 points19 points20 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You'll need the healthcare for therapy, STD's, and unwanted pregnancies.
[–]ceilingkatwatchesusFDS Disciple20 points21 points22 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I call them situationships. Not FWB cuz I already have friends. LOL!!!
[–]PharmaPuppyFDS Newbie19 points20 points21 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Omg this post made me feel exposed. Pre FDS, I was actually FWB with a dentist. Didn’t treat me like a friend AND there were no benefits.
The “drilling” was terrible and the only cavity he filled was, well you know. And even that was a half assed job. 0/10 would not recommend.
[–]inlovewithaloserFDS Newbie60 points61 points62 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Friends with benefits is a scam because any decent real male friend that is interested in you would be willing to make it a relationship. NOT half ass infrequent texts for bootycalls.
[–]thowawaywookieFDS Newbie7 points8 points9 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Sex for sex. Zero benefit for women. A real fwb the women would actually get something of value, not some ED pornsick smelly dick. Lots of benefits like hour long massages, go places so you don't have to go solo, legit sponsor and mentor in a profession, shopping, movies I want to watch, try new restaurant. He pays. Just a few benefits off the top of my head.
[–]prettyexcitingnewsFDS Disciple2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
There’s absolutely no benefit in fwb relationship. Sex is mediocre at best.
