7 REASONS HAVING A FWB IS THE BEST
What's better than a relationship when you're young? A casual setup with all the physical perks but none of the commitment. It's the best solution, if you can keep from catching feelings.
When you’re young and single, sometimes it can feel like you’re taking the world on alone, and that can be intimidating. It can also be your best opportunity to do everything you ever wanted to do, without the ball and chain holding you down.
The only real downside of being single then would be the sex, or lack there of. While sleeping around and indulging in a string of one night stands can be fun and empowering, sleeping with strangers eventually loses its charm. So what do you do when you really don’t want the commitment, but you want the familiar sex? Friends with benefits! Here’s why that’s always an awesome option.
1. You get the rush of hooking up with not your boyfriend/girlfriend, without the constant stranger danger. You will eventually be comfortable with this person, they will be your friend; with benefits.
2. There's no surprises after the first time. Ladies, we all know every new "member" is a surprise. What will it be like? How big? The questions are there and we always have to act excited, no matter what it's like. If you're hooking up with the same person time after time, you know exactly what you're getting when his pants come off.
3. After the first few times, you know what each other like. When you have a constant hookup, you develop an exciting routine. It's not always the same, but you know exactly what to do to get each other going. One night stands are often unsatisfying because it's the first time, and with a stranger. With a FWB, you always know you're in for great sex.
4. You have an underlying friendship. Often times when you are hooking up with random people or indulging in booty calls, it can feel cheap. When you're with a friend, you're always hanging out and sex is just the main event.
5. You don't have to try too hard. Ever. There's no pressure to be the perfect girl or guy when you're just being casual, because you both know what it is. That makes it a much more relaxing and enjoyable experience, and you can always be yourself.
6. If you're having a slow month, hey, you've got a friend for that. Just call him/her up. They're always game.
7. It's the perfect situation for someone not looking to settle down; friendship, great sex, and sometimes there's pizza. Yeah, like, fresh pizza.
