What does FWB mean?

FWB means friends with benefits — an ongoing casual sexual connection between friends without a romantic commitment.

Also: friends with benefits, ff (friends first)

FWB stands for friends with benefits: two people who are friends and also hook up, without being in a romantic relationship. A related tag, FF (friends first), signals wanting to build a friendship before anything physical.

The arrangement works best with honesty about what each person wants and regular check-ins as feelings or circumstances change. Clear expectations keep the friendship intact.

Like any connection, FWB benefits from open talk about exclusivity, safety, and boundaries.
