So whatever generation these young people are, Sag, Aqua or Scorp, and no matter if it is based on some kind of feminism, capitalism, naturalism etc., it seems more and more young women start their love career with FWB. Thank to Holleywood.

Friends with Benefits (J. Timberlake and M. Kunis)
No strings attached (A. Kutcher and N. Portman)



Do they do this multiple times in their lives? After the first one ended in a catastrophe? Is it addictive like tattoos? How many FWBs are needed to get one partnership out of it? Are partnerships out cause custody fights suck? questions after questions.

The whole point of FWB is to not have a commitment. Busy lives get in the way and leads to disappointments. People have needs and netflix alone don't fill holes.

we don't want to have commitments?
no commitments to our university study? to our jobs? to our parents? friends? siblings? facebook accounts?

Before Holleywood made FWB popular lives were busy too. In the fifties and in the previous centuries. There were even navy in the older ages.
Sag taking it to the extreme again. You make a thread about FWB and I figured you would keep it to that topic. Not apply it to everything in life.

Relationship commitments are not desired. Hence Friend and not Boy/Girlfriend.

so did we know that fwb solves this "not desiring commitment" all by ourselves? So Holleywood just reflected the sate of the art?

Or did we learn from those movies that we are busy and fwb is the solution?

I mean look at the past decades and centuries.

First there were good girls + poor girls who got forced to sell themselves + careless girls you can rape cause she at the wrong time on the rice field.

Then there were good girls + famous actresses/singers/artists + prostitutes + careless/naive/retarded girls (to be abused/raped/obliged).

Then there were old-fashioned girls + sexually emancipated girls + actresses/singers/artists + prostitutes + careless/naive/retarded girls (to be...).

So what do we have now? Why does Holleywood try to romanitze FWB for old-fashioned/good/emancipated girls? Is this a too early embaracing of the Aqua age? Are we ready for it? Why do we cry nights in our beds?

I can tell you from personal experience, where this started, Dwelling.


I my generation of the late 60's and early 70's, women weren't allowed to have sex outside of marriage, and still be considered respectful. My generation brought the sexual revolution with us to the US, and suddenly, for the first time .... women could fuck away, and they did.

Women had something to prove sexually ... and though that ^^^ doesn't apply any longer, because now women can sleep with whomever she wants to, the mindset of having to prove herself still exists. Still, she feels inferior to me, so she is still trying to prove herself.


And if it wasn't for that, then fwb wouldn't exist because women want to be taken for who she is, and not as a sexual creature necessarily ... but, the only way to do that, as far as she can figure, is to be the one to score the man.

With every fwb a woman enters into ... her intent is to win him over to prove to him and the world that she was the Prize.

And when this is thought about, how disturbing ... because that's not where it started. We didn't want to be a prize, we just wanted to be taken seriously as being females.

From observing the women who have been fwb, I don't see this sentence of yours being applied: "we are busy and fwb is the solution" because it is implying that to have sex with someone is solving something, to say it's a solution. Women aren't hooking up with random guys for an orgasm, they hook up with them to try and prove that they're important enough to be taken seriously and hope that he recognizes her worth.

It's not commitment issues at all. Throughout the existence of mankind, people have slept outside of their partnership, while still remaining fully commited to their partners, their jobs, family, etc.

Again ..... the only reason for a fwb on the female side, is so she can gain a false sense of worth. For guys .. hey, free pussy with no strings attached.

Yep...and nothing more.

What's mind boggling, is one chick sees another chick go through the above with a stupid choice like this and SEES the outcome, and she thinks she's different and will have a better outcome... Like I said...no brains.

There is so much role and gender reversal going on I think that I lot of people are confused. Women are so aggressive these days trying to think and be like a man I think sexually they are trying to emulate that dominance. Not all men but a lot of men are more meek and feminine these days that they are probably OK getting chased by women who knows I just know that I don't operate that way. A friend is just a friend and a lover or relationship is that I have never had friends with benefits.

I'm not sure why women cannot grasp the above.

A guy really does want free pussy with no strings attached, but, for some irrational reason, which has no logical explanation ... these women think that they will win this man over, and that they will become the Queen.

and though, I fully realize that women need to have this fantasy about the knight in shining armour sweeping her away and has probably been picking out wedding attire since 12 years old ..... this is real life, not your fantasy.

If you give to another person ANYTHING with no strings attached .... then that is exactly what it is. To have a hidden agenda or ulterior motive is delusional and you set yourself up to be deserving of all emotional pain that happens from this ridiculous choice you made for yourself.

Of course, though, there are females who just want to get laid with no strings attached also ..... and thank the lucky stars for those people. We need females who are actually strong, and not just the ones who think they are because they had an opinion.

It might be the worse offense to the rational and mature female .... this encouraging of women to want to purposely emotionally hurt themselves.

If a woman knows that her feelings are attached to her sexuality, and his is NOT attached ... then use some brain cells to realize that this has to be applied to real life.

This brainwashing done to women to do this horrendous thing to herself ... is so disturbing.

P, thank you for thoughts.

It seems Holleywood knows how individuals crave for recognition/approval/coronation. So it sends new sublime messages to our brains. How to be a sweet cinderella in the post-modern time! The new good girl starts it all with an FWB. yappii.

I've only been able to do this succesfully with an Aqua dude.

First off, there's no "friends" in that title. I would not do that with a friend for many reasons. There is a familiarity between friends that will produce emotions if you couple it up with sexual attraction. In what I have witnesses with friends, as far as I'm concerned.

The Aqua is a guy I dated in highschool for 2 weeks. No sex back then.

It only works because we cannot stand each other as people so there's no worry over developping feelings on either side. We literally can't stand the human part of either of us..only the animal part that drives sexual attraction. And we trust each other on stds and sexual preferences. Everything beyond that..there is no bonding..there are no dates or holding hands or anything. Maybe the frequency is important too..it happens rarely between us.

Posted by Nemilicious listen, if i am the one who is expecting sex and i get drama and jealousy as a side-serving - then i was tricked. if both agree it´s sex only and the other person suddenly changes their mind, i can´t know this will happen. hence, i don´t know what i was letting myself into?
What I find ironic, is a conversation has to happen before you spread your legs. If you can't take one second before spreading them to say:

"listen...I'm here just to fuck you and nothing more" that's your problem. If you do say that...why would you care? You got laid and you walk away right?

personally i don´t think a lot of people know before-hand what they are getting or letting themselves into.

it usually is a very one-sided affair. one partner thinks it´s strictly sex, the other one is hoping for more.
FALSE!

I see both sides of this .....

1. a lot of people don't see what they're getting themselves into, and
2. bullshit - that's false


I guess it all boils down to the awareness of the individual in how she's operating .. because most women aren't capable of having a sexual encounter with a man without attaching feelings. You're a rare breed, Nem. Thank our lucky stars !!!

But, most importantly .... it's about the getting to know the other person that is in question with what you said. If a woman is sleeping with a guy, then she BETTER have gotten to know him. If we know that there are Players out there, and we know that it's our duty to ourselves to take care of ourselves and make good choices for ourselves ... then we know not to open our legs in this instance.

You're right .... anyone can trick you, though. I'm pretty good at manipulating if I want. In fact, I'm sure we all are good at it, if we meant to be. So that means any person out there who appears sincere may not be.

It's a scary world.

I think the whole term is deceiving "friends with benefits".

Since love involves friendship, you see this term and it gets etched into your mind as an extension of friendship. Well love is an extension of friendship too so the mind starts conflating the two notions since both seem to be tied into friendship.

It's a hook-up, nothing else.
I disagree with the deceiving. Two people who consent to having sex on a whim is a choice. If they don't have a discussion prior or communicate prior OR at the very least take the time to SEE it for what it is, you don't get to complain.

However I do agree with you about the "friend" part. No friend uses another friend as a slab of meat.

How is a female strong just because she wants to have sex with no strings attach? I won't even comment on the last sentence because it is a debate just waiting to happen. It hard to even have moral these days because everyone literally think bad is good and good is bad how can you reason with that you don't you just let people be and keep your foots step close to what you deem to be good and honorable.

@TrueCap, that's the point. They program us with a reward. Like in the case of Cinderella. Always the same crap.

In the time of emancipation wave it was honestly discussed that you could become sad in an open relationship or jealous or whatever. But this FWB wave is "straight outta brain-wash machine". Based on positive rewarding expectations.



I also agree with @Damnata. The more you see someone the more emotionally you get involved with them.

I wasn't referencing deceit between parties if both were straight up. The term itself implies there's more to the act of sex than just sex (arguing the linguistics). It's easy for at least one party to jump to conclusions. That doesn't exonarate the action of the party that just jumped to a conclusion without any reason..mindlessly adding friendship + sex = love.

It's a very specific scenario in itself. Every variable needs to be accounted for and brought to the table prior to any action. At least that's how it went for me.

It's interesting...with one night stands..people are more aware of getting up in the morning, putting their clothes on and walking out the door never to interact again. In that scenario, that's the course of action.

But friends with benefits..the mindless projections over the "friendship" part seem to pave the way for emotions to get involved.

Just pondering.

I have no issue with others who choose to do it.

I can't really have an opinion about it because I know others don't feel the same way I do.
+1 to each his/her own.

My opinion comes in when I hear the "I was deceived" victim bullshit.
click to expand

For me it's how long they stay in that deceit before addressing it/ figuring out something is off.

Some people are skilled manipulators but if this scenario plays out for a length of time..cracks in the wall appear. It's when you refuse to see them, you wave off any claim at having been deceited (? feel like my english fails me).

That goes only in situations where deceit can happen...I think the majority deceit themselves without an action from another.

I think we live in a society where morals and values slightly change. All those -isms combined into one. Individualism. Pressure from society and world we live in almost demands us to pursue a status. It seems like people care more about individual growth with the pleasure of sex without attachments?

well, what you say is something like the first part of my post.

The object of the discussion is but the second part. Not the theory of FWB but its practice. What did you get from it? Did you use it in your 20ies? Did it help you? Would you do it anytime soon again? Is it addictive?

it´s skipping the foundation - and without that you´re really fucked.
Isn't that the whole point of a FWB? No expectations, no commitment and no need for foundation? Just getting needs met without all the hassle of relationship mishaps and stuff?
I thought that's what "one night stands" was for. 🙂

Exactly what it is. A prolonged one night stand.

movies, music..set in reality, showcase that reality as we move from one age to the next.

[...] being a strong woman is about making choices for yourself and owning up to them. a strong woman for example will have learned her lessons and not repeat them and if she does, does cry and whine about what a victim she is.
again, it is about owning your choices. and those decisions and choices you make should be in your best interest.

it´s also about being honest when it comes to ones intentions.

three pages ago we already established that most women cannot handle FWB situations [...]

I agree.

Also it can be strong to start as a stupid girl and become strong after being used for several times. And that path goes through tears. And I don't balme them. Yet we put time into these forum talks not for obvious cases. Talks aim to be serve prevention/intervention.

I disagree.

Look, there are millions of love stories around the world. Every thing (FWB, affairs,...) has been told somewhere in a book or a film etc. But only "pretty woman" has the impact it had. That thousands of girls think being a scort could lead to a happy ending. I don't say it is a lie and no client has ever married a scort. I say a mainstream movie has the same impact as Marlboro advertisement.

Did the majority of women decide for themselves that wearing mini-joups is cool? and it was only a slow motion form long skirt to the mini skirts? girl by girl? generation by generation?

The biggest hustle was Disney.

We had the princess long before we had...the not so princess but still princess in the end cuz it just so happens she was princess in training all along.

For women..everything revolved around men. How to cater to them (all disney stockholm syndrome victims/princesses), how to start smoking since it was targetted to women and the fellatio implication was all over the marketing..again pleasing the man, the mini-joups? self explanatory.

Succesfull marketing targets this specific inadequacy since the dawn of time. The approval women so much desire. If it was a myth and marketing made it real or reality all along...same old story.

I think we live in a society where morals and values slightly change. All those -isms combined into one. Individualism. Pressure from society and world we live in almost demands us to pursue a status. It seems like people care more about individual growth with the pleasure of sex without attachments?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^More blame, more excuses....
Why is this a blame and excuse? Personally fwb is not my favourite occupation never has been. It is against my principles and values.

I bolded what came across as blame and excuses (I was not pointing a finger at you). People who feel a need to follow societal behavior or what society attempts to dictate as socially correct, are lost, and have no clue what individualism means. If they did, NO PRESSURE from anyonewould come into play because quite frankly when society tries to tell me how to think and what to do...they get nothing but a big "go fuck yourself" from me.
