FB vs FWB

Some people have questioned whether or not there is a difference between fuck buddies and friends with benefits. Hell yes, there is a difference. I've talked about it recently with a few of my friends.

So with a fuck buddy, you do just that: fuck. Pure and simple. You enter into whatever abode, room, dwelling where the dirty, sweaty, fantastic deed will occur. Pleasantries are exchanged, clothing is thrown aside and the caresses begin. Once the fucking is done, more pleasantries are exchanged, perhaps even arranging the next meet 'n screw. Each person knows the other's name, basic interests (usually limited to sexual in nature) and a few other tidbits.

FWBs have fuck buddy qualities surely but it's so much more a thing than that of the FB. The very name! Friend. Someone who enjoy hanging out with, who knows you and you know them. A person you're attracted to and want to get pelvic with but you can also catch a movie together, discuss a good book, hang out at a party without feeling compelled to go at it like bunnies every few minutes. Ok, you may indeed feel compelled for wild hot lovin' all the time but you have more in common than coitus. And hopefully if the physical part draws to an end for whatever reason, the friendship will remain and stand alone.

Depending on what you're in the mood for or in search of, sometimes a FB is preferable to a FWB. So there's my spiel.
