    She is sorely mistaken and she needs counseled by a learned adult if she is in one of these relationships. This is especially important as the second component is that these friends with benefits have other friends with benefits. Eventually, they all end up with a raging case of the clap and some one gets pregnant.

    You need to talk to her as she only has half the story.

    Honestly friends with benefits really means mostly sex. But also kissing n all that... It is cheating.. N it's a stupid thing to do.. Girls in friends with benefits really seem like skanks cuz they arnt dating but still having sex n all that.. N don't have sex ur still to young.. It will ruin ur life later

    she is niave it means to meet up with someone for sex with no strings attached. while the friends with benefits can date around etc. its a **** buddy in lame mans terms. i'd suggest you talk to her about it. it's not good she's just gonna get used by the guy.

    Friends with benefits means that your friends with someone, but basically your sex buddies, thats it... you get the benefits of sex but dont have to worry about any relationships, or dating.

    friends with benefits means that both people know that they do not want a relationship with each other but that they are using each other for the physical aspects that one would normally have in a relationship..it could be as little as kissing or as far as having sex..i personally cannot stand the concept for many reasons...

    It does mean sex buddies....until you get older. Then it truly means friends with good dental insurance.

    friends with benifits can mean anything! it matters howold you are but if you are willing to do something like that you obviously like him! and you dont want to get to attached ot a guy thats just a fwb. the guy is obviously just using the girl normally.
