Our Society today tells us that we have been sexually liberated. That we are the offspring to the sexual revolution generation. America Movies (Hollywood) shows us sexual freedom entails casual, non-committed, intimate encounters. This belief has created a popular trend of ‘Friends with benefits,’ (FWB). FWB is falsely sold to us as something simple and enjoyable, like chocolate and icecream. But the damage to all parties involved is far-reaching and too often ignored. Here are 4 reasons why FWB isn’t very beneficial at all.


1)You stay in the gray area you create

There is no black and white in friends with benefits, only a rabbit hole of gray. Questioning the other person in an FWB is extremely limited. Generally, there is a don’t-ask-me-cuz-I’m-not-gone-tell-you rule. You cannot expect to know the other person’s motives, whereabouts, and thoughts about the future. This almost certainly builds a foundation of distrust. If either person wants more out of the relationship, that person, guy or girl, is mislabeled ‘needy’ or ‘clingy.’ The relationship never reaches a point where it needs to be defined because it has no clear direction from the beginning. But for most, pretending to be nonchalant about someone you’re romantically investing in, gets old and exhausting real fast.




2) You make yourself and/or someone else, your convenience and not a priority

One huge piece of the equation in friends with benefits is the lack of commitment. Physical intimacy + no commitment= Friends with Benefits. Ironically, although it’s in the title, friendship is not even a necessary piece of the puzzle. The two people in the FWB have NO obligation of spending quality time together or dating one another exclusively.

You'll do as you will, but let's just be real. FWB is a myth. So called "friends with benefits" aren't friends. Call them acquaintances, associates, benefit pals, fvck buddies, but the one thing they're def not is actual honest-to-goodness friends. The term 'friends' is thrown in there in a bid to distance it from being perceived as regular ole casual sex, which is what it actually is.

FWB = Desperate people in denial.

Givers never lack!

True now

No benefits

U f*ck nd get f*cked up at the end

No matter how one pretends to feel less concerned, there is this tinge of jealousy when you see your FWB with their real partner..some ppl no send sha..personally,i can't cos il always feel used and like an option and that's what it is!.
