FWB stands for "friends with benefits," which refers to a relationship where two people are physically intimate with each other but are not committed to each other romantically. It is different from a dating relationship in that the individuals involved are just friends who engage in intimate or sexual activity without the emotional attachment or commitment of a romantic relationship. FWB relationships are non-committal and can be short-term or evolve into serious romantic relationships. The term is commonly used to describe a relationship that is sexual without being romantic, and it is enjoyed by both men and women. There are various reasons why people may choose to enter into FWB relationships, such as the desire for a safe and fun exploration of sexuality or the avoidance of a more serious relationship. Unlike casual sexual encounters, FWB relationships involve a commitment to continuous casual sex and may involve a level of friendship and communication beyond just sexual activity
