It was a year ago, when I had alot more free time than now, i found this kind of term. It started with my hobby, surfing the internet just for fun. Search for funny glitter graphics or texts for my friendster account (OMG..it feels like a long long time ago). Then i read something catchy. It was "friends with benefits" or FWB.
At that moment i was so curious, and tried to find out the meaning. I asked to my best buddy -my partner in crime- (miss u alot nggub...), and she told me that friend with benefits is a friend to f**k around with (sounds a bit rude huh?)
Friends with benefits can do things couples can do except without being labeled as a boyfriend and a girlfriend, when you ask if they want to be friends with benefits with you, you both have to agree on what those benefits are, and it doesn't have to contain sex. Kissing, hugging, and holding hands for example. If you both agree on sex, then it's also considered as friends with benefits.
I found many articles from google that related or mention this term. Based on an article i've read, researchers from USA had surveyed undergraduates students about friends with benefits.
Two-thirds of participants said they had been in a FWB relationship, and 36% said they currently were in one. The main advantage of such a relationship was no commitment, yet the disadvantage was the possibility that feelings would develop. Or even it could harm friendship.
Well, it's a survey in USA, and i dunno here in our country, Indonesia. It is obvious that we have different culture and norms. And i post this for the purpose of information. Not in detail, just in outline. And of course, i mean no offense to those who are in FWB, cos it's not our right to judge people.
And now i ask you people, if anyone of you had experienced or currently are in FWB, please share me your opinion. Or if you just read this post and donot have any experience with FWB, i would like to know your opinion too.

Hmmmm ... actually this is you wanna said several days ago, rite?
FWB, I think it's interesting thing to try with. Why not? As long as we deal with all about agreements which bring us mutual profit (we used to call it mutual symbiosis), so I think it's OK. However, it must be conducted along with our norms. What is the example? It mustn't be sex, maybe the best example is you afford all of my life fees, while me? yeah, of course I want to keep your money from the materialistic guy, so you don;t need to worry because your money will be save with me.
Do you get it?
Hahahahaha
hell yeah..what will i expected to be your opinion? it must not far from undefined things :D
anyway, do you have another opinion bout this? i mean the serious one, not the undefined ^^
