THE RISE OF FWBS: Are They Becoming the New BFFs?
Hashtag Magazine|July 2023
In today's evolving landscape of relationships, the concept of "Friends with Benefits" (FWB) has gained significant attention. Often depicted in popular culture as casual, no-strings-attached encounters, FWBs have become a subject of fascination and debate. But are they blurring the lines between friendship and romance, leading to a new kind of "best friends forever" (BFF) relationship? Mehak Walia delves into this intriguing topic and explores the evolving dynamics of modern connections.
THE RISE OF FWBS: Are They Becoming the New BFFs?

The Emergence of FWBs:

Let's get one thing straight, FWBS relationships haven't just emerged suddenly, they have been around for quite some time. But, their visibility and acceptance have increased in recent years. The fast-paced nature of modern life, shifting societal norms, and the rise of dating apps have all contributed to the growth of this relationship style. Friends-with benefits arrangements typically involve two individuals who are friends and engage in sexual activities without the commitment of a romantic relationship.

While FWBs primarily revolve around physical intimacy, the foundation of these relationships is often built on friendship. The partners involved share common interests, engage in conversations, and provide emotional support. This connection can blur the lines between friendship and romance, leading some to wonder if FWBS are indeed becoming the new BFFs. Although, one major aspect that distinguishes FWBs from traditional romantic relationships is the absence of romantic expectations. In many cases, FWBs provide a safe space for individuals to explore their sexuality without the pressure of long-term commitment. The lack of expectations allows for greater emotional intimacy, as partners can openly share their thoughts, fears, and dreams without the fear of judgment or the burden of traditional relationship obligations.
