A friends with benefits relationship is one in which two people are physically intimate with one another, yet theyre not committed to each other in any way. People involved in a friends with benefits relationship clearly enjoy spending time together, but their relationship isnt romantic and has no strings attached.

Is friends with benefits the same as casual dating?

Prolonged casual dating is a person you date and like as a romantic partner. FWB is someone you hang out with as friends but have sex with sometimes and then go back to the same non romantic friendship. Casual dating can be exclusive and you actual go out on dates.
