S_C answered Thursday March 30 2006, 2:56 pm: It means that you can do whatever you want, but you aren't dating. You can have sex, make out, feel up, all sorts of sexual things together with no uhh, connections. You're just friends. You aren't dating, you can have "fun" whith whoever you want without having to feel guilt or without having the title of "cheating" on them. You can look it up at www.urbandictionary.com I'm at school right now, so certain sites won't work, otherwise I would look it up for you. But I've known the meaning for years now, that's why I'm still able to answer.
Friend with benefits can be fun, but can also hurt you. The point is having no emotional connections, but in most cases, one out of the two parties involved becomes emotionally attached. It's not the best thing, but if you don't want to be in a relationship, it's what you do. I personally don't believe in it, but it's up to whoever wants to have a friends with benefits relationship.

TheOldOne answered Thursday March 30 2006, 2:08 pm: It means a friend that you also have sex with. You're not a couple, you're not dating...but you sleep together once in a while, or at least get each other off somehow.
The majority of columnists here seem to feel that that's not a good idea, and I agree with them. Most sane human beings (particularly women), aren't able to have sex with someone without getting emotionally involved before long. Entanglements are inevitable - one person or the other will start having "feelings" - and someone, or several people, will end up getting seriously hurt.
Perhaps some very mature and stable older people can find ways to carry "FWB" off, but young people (who seem to be doing it a lot these days) really aren't mature enough to handle it.
