The name says it all, you're "friends" - although for some that can have a pretty loose definition, and you have sex - the "benefits". But have you really thought about what that means to you? For most, it means casual, no strings attached and no expectations. You have to be on the same page to avoid getting hurt, as the trust factor that comes with a committed relationship just isn't there. And there's the word, "committed", in which an FWB is anything but. So if you're ok with the idea of friends with benefits to a relationship, then you won't get hurt. But be clear, there are some questions you need to ask yourself.
