What are the rules for fwb?

So my ex and I broke up a few weeks ago and I have no desire to have a relationship with anyone at this current time but was thinking of having a friends with benefits type situation, as I am still human and still crave the feeling of a man. What are the rules to a friends with benefits relationship? Are there things you shouldn't do? Is there a point when things become too intimate? I don't want to make anyone feel like I'm just using them for sex even if in away I guess I would be. Anyways please give me the proper etiquette for this kind of situation.

  • I think the most important things you must do if you want it to not turn into a relationship are:

    1) communicate, make sure that the guy knows you don't want a relationship/ commitment.

    2) try to keep your emotions in check don't become a girlfriend, Eg, don't do holidays with him, Christmas , Valentine's or Easter are not a good time to be close or to share time with a FWB , might get confusing. spend those times with your family.

    3)Don't share to many personal things, life experiences etc... keep things simple.

    4)Probably the most important think is not to spend to much time together and try not to talk on the phone much.

  • I've never been in a friends with benefits but I wish I could find a girl with mutual thoughts like that. My only guess is that those involved set their own boundaries and not to have feelings with each other, if one of them do, its time to break it off.

  • Insist that things will not get complicated. It’s just sex. Don’t text him for any reason other than sex. Don’t kiss him goodbye. Remember, this is not a relationship.

  • The rules for a friends with benefits are set just like any other relationship. All terms are negotiable. The more stringent your terms, the less likely you are to find someone. Always keep in mind that this is a temporary thing. One thing you probably don't want to do is keep in constant contact with your fwb. You run the risk of thinking it's more than it is and you'll seem like a nag.

  • 1: you do not talk about FWB club

    2: you do NOT talk about FWB club!

    • not sure what you mean

    • replace the FWB with the word fight

  • Dont listen to these haters... a friends with benefits can be a fantastic thing if done right...the golden rules is both people are up front that this is a friendship with sex nothing more and either person starts to want more then they need to talk or stop.

  • I know you and know that this is a bad idea for you and will only fester and beget more anger inside you towards this man.

  • The only rule is to not get attached. If you think you might fall for the guy, find someone else. You're ultimately just sex to him, and he should ultimately be just sex to you.

    Aren't you pretty religious?

    • maybe...

    • Alrighty. I just thought you were married, had a kid, and were religious. Just seems odd that you're turning towards fwb.
